HAVE YOUR MILKSHAKE AND DRINK IT TOO

Milkshakes are a favorite American treat anytime of year!  We love the creaminess and sweetness of these delicious drinks but most of us don't like all the fat and calories that come along with their yummy flavor.  I challenged myself to come up with lowfat alternatives to my favorite flavors and I must say, I am not disappointed....see for yourself:

LITE EGGNOG MILKSHAKE

This is delicious any time of year, stock up on ice cream in winter and freeze for warmer months ahead

½ cup lowfat eggnog icecream

½ nonfat milk or( coconut milk with 50 calories or less per cup)

¼ cup nonfat cool whip

A few ice cubes

Place everything in blender and blend, pour into glass and add a dollop of nonfat whipped cream or cool whip and a sprinkle of nutmeg, if desired

You can try this with any flavor ice cream for delicious, lite, holiday treats…..my other favorite flavors are: pumpkin pie milkshake (using lowfat pumpkin ice cream), peppermint milkshake (using lowfat peppermint ice cream), or banana split milkshake (using lowfat rocky road ice cream with ¼ of a banana added in….experiment with your favorite flavors for the ultimate lowfat milkshake!
