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.

Cherry Cheesecake Shake

This is the result of a shopping trip through the 'end of season' aisle at Shopko. Along with the snow cone and ice cream makers were the syrups that are used for making those things. There were 2 different kinds of sugar free syrups, including cherry flavor. They were half priced on clearance, so I decided to experiment. These syrups are pretty good. They aren't as strong or intense in flavor as the higher priced coffee syrups, but they are just fine for this type of shake. I used 2 tablespoons of this, rather than the 1 tablespoon or less I use of the Italian syrups.

1 scoop vanilla shake powder

4 oz. water

8 - 10 ice cubes

2 teaspoons jello cheesecake flavored SF, FF pudding powder

2 tablespoons cherry snow cone syrup

Add water and flavoring syrup to blender container. Start blending and add vanilla shake powder. Add cheesecake powder. Add ice cubes a couple at a time, and continue blending until the shake is the consistency you want.
