HMR Shake of the Week Recipe - Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard!
Posted by Alicia Leeds on Tue, Oct 13, 2009 @ 11:32 PM
Ever since Steve mixed candy into ice cream in Somerville, MA in the 1980's - America has fallen in love with all things ice creamy and candified. Trouble with all the chocolate chips, snickers, and reeses pieces... is ... not just the 1200-1400 calories... but zero nutrition and more than a day's worth of fat and sugar, too.
Here's a way to enjoy the sweet on sweet of a candy ice cream treat without going completely off track. This is not your breakfast shake... and not really a great substitute for lunch or dinner either - but we all have our days and I won't hold it against you if you're having one of those. Think of this recipe as a great alternative to a Cold Stone Creamery disaster... you'll save some calories and get some nutrition while you are at it.
Try freezing this recipe for 1/2 hour to overnight to achieve just the thickness you crave - and you can even add a little Chocolate Fudge Fat Free Sugar Free Jello Pudding to the mix if you plan to freeze it solid. (The Jello helps it melt creamier)
