Strawberry Milkshake

Happy Memorial Day!!!

Hi Everyone!  Hope your having a great weekend!  Mine has been pretty good!  Hubby and I went to breakfast on Sunday and it was fantastic!  Sometime, I’ll have to take a picture of my meal, it’s amazing!!!  After that we came home and did some work on my computer, while Hubby put the sprinkler system into my vegetable garden.  Yah!!!  Made a quick dinner on the grill, nothing fancy and than made this!!!

This is my Skinny version of a Strawberry Milkshake.  It was heavenly!!  It’s so creamy, sweet and full of bursting strawberry flavor.  It was amazing!  I felt like a kid drinking it.  Want to know a secret?  I never had a strawberry milkshake before, even as a kid.  I always got vanilla or chocolate.  I must of been some kind of weird kid or something?  Anyway, I asked Hubby to take a sip and he didn’t want to, and I said come on, and than he did and he was like thats good, and it’s skinny?  Of course dear, I try to cut back on calories wherever I can.  I think he was pleasantly surprised.

I made this bad boy with frozen strawberries, non-fat milk, a packet of Stevia and 1/3 cup of vanilla ice cream.  Now I know I could of made it even skinnier by using something else besides real ice cream, but you know I bought it this week and had to use it.  So be prepared for more ice cream recipes.  I have half of a half gallon left,  but that maybe gone sooner than expected, if I don’t stop spooning it in my mouth!!  Just look at the frothy top.  Looks like the Nestle Quick commercial with the rabbit.

I’m kind of mad at myself!  I cut up a pretty red strawberry to put on top, but once I tasted this milkshake I forgot about it.  Besides it was flowing over the edges and I think the strawberry would of made it spill, and I couldn’t lose any of the shake.  That would be a sin!  Ok, I’m making excuses, I totally forgot.  I hate when I do that!  You have to try this milkshake, I promise you will love it!!  Love it I tell ya!!!  Muah!!
