Yum! Living in a foreign country with no Wendy's to be found--this makes me very happy! Can't wait to make it for my hubby. He'll love it!
Thanks!0 -
Introduction
Delicious, low-cal drink I found on a forum for moments when you want chocolate. I will be drinking this even after I reach my goal. It is that good.
Minutes to Prepare: 5
Number of Servings: 2
Ingredients
1 CUP Nonfat (skim) milk
2 TBSP Sugar-Free, Fat Free Chocolate Pudding Mix
1 TSP Vanilla Extract
1 TSP Unsweetened Cocoa
1/2 TBSP Splenda (2-3 small packets) I used agave nectar here
2 TBL Cool-Whip Free (optional)
7 Ice Cubes
Tips
Top with whipped cream, if desired.
Directions
Place all in a blender that chops ice well. Blend until all is well mixed and all of the ice is chopped up. Mixture should be nice and thick. I like to pour the drink in a Starbucks cup or some other attractive-looking container!
This recipe makes almost 20 ounces, which I personally think is too much for one serving. I highly suggest dividing this recipe in half or share the full recipe version with someone special.

If you wanted choc, why not just eat choc? Seems odd to cure the craving with a fake milkshake
Don't knock it till you try it. If not oh well...
Tried it, not very good. The distinct lack of fat in it is noticeable
Oh, so sorry you did not care for this. It was not my intention to proclaim it was just like the frosty but the definite trade off in calories is significant. I got this from a friend who lost 170 lbs and has achieved her weight loss goal. She used this to help her when she wanted something that was lower calories and easy to prepare.
Will she keep drinking this no-fat, no-sugar stuff now that she reached her goal?
To me....
no fat and no sugar = what are we eating and why? :laugh:0 -

So do you think it makes sense for her to go back to her old way of eating or using something that helped her. She is eating at about 2000-2200 calories now because of being very active and lifting. Yes, she does have fat and sugar but under control. Have you not used something in your daily food that is a substitute for something that is full fat and/sugar?0 -
Is it normal for it to be like a milkshake? Either way, it's delicious. Thanks! Mine ended up 163 calories for the whole thing (2% milk). Sure beats a 500 calories milkshake.0

Just made it -- am drinking it now. It didn't really resemble a Wendy's Frosty UNTIL I went back into the kitchen and swirled in the Cool Whip. Now it tastes divine. I live in the boonies -- the nearest Wendy's is 200 miles away. It was a nice treat. Thanks for sharing this recipe!!!! By the way, I didn't add ANY sweetener, as the sugar-free pudding was sweet enough. I used unsweetened vanilla Almond Breeze for the milk. It was 150 calories for the entire recipe. Of course I'm eating it all.0

In answer to the sentence that ended in a question mark:
No. I learned that fat is an essential nutrient and that sugar is just a carbohydrate, another nutrient. It seems counter-intuitive to think of sugar as a nutrient, but it actually is. Sucrose is lacking micronutrients (vitamins, etc) and is high in calories, so it should be used sparingly, but it shouldn't be avoided just to control body weight.
And TBH, I have a hard time believing that someone will avoid foods they like just to lose weight and then maintain that loss.
To answer the first sentence that is worded like a question: YES!! She should definitely *slowly* begin to add any foods she enjoys back into her diet or she risks failing at maintenance. (mho)
ETA: Also, it is hard for me to believe that someone is at 2000 calories a day and only eating protein and maybe veggies(?). If that's actually true, then she might want to have her kidneys checked. :flowerforyou:0 -

I certainly didn't get 100 mg sodium. More like 1000. And most of it is from the pudding mix. Wtf?0

I had plugged mine into the recipe area. Just checked and the sodium was 780 mg. 600 of it was from the Great Value sugar-free chocolate pudding mix. The original recipe was for a serving size of 2 portions, but mine is for 1 serving. I know it's pretty much empty calories, but far less caloric than the McD shake my husband consumed yesterday (820 calories)!!!!!!!! It was nice to break away from the strict diet foods and have an actual treat.0
