Adding Flavor and Excitement to a Decent Weight Loss Program

I'm working on losing some weight through the HMR program. I like the clear way this is set up, and the limitations and ease of use on this diet, but sometimes I DO want to spend a little more time on my food prep, so I can try some new flavors. I'm keeping track of these recipes that I use on the 2 + 3 + 5 diet plan. I'm allowed up to 15 calories of additional ingredient per serving. I've been experimenting over the summer, and I'm starting to post these, so I don't forget some of the successes and failures. Mostly, these will be shake recipes, but I have a few vegetable and fruit serving ideas as well. I decided to post them as a blog, so others can share these ideas, and maybe post a few new ideas as well.

Peaches and Cream Shake

For this recipe I use:

1 ripe peach, cut into 4 to 8 pieces, skin on
1 scoop vanilla shake powder
3/4 cup water
8 to 10 ice cubes

Add water to the blender, and start at slow speed. Add the vanilla powder, then add the chunks of peaches, one at a time. Set the blender at a higher speed, and then add the ice cubes one at a time. I usually add at least 8 ice cubes, sometimes more. Pour and drink. This one often fills more than a 20 oz. glass, especially if you add lots of ice.

No picture for this one, yet. I'll have to start photographing my food before I eat it so those photos can be posted here.
