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.

Chocolate Cherry Shake

This is an easy shake to make. It is almost as simple as the basic shake. Although I prefer 'real' flavors, this is ok for a winter time occasional break from the ordinary.

2 tablespoons cherry snow cone flavoring syrup

4 oz. water

1 scoop or envelope of chocolate shake powder

8 - 10 ice cubes

Make this the same way you make a basic chocolate shake, except add the flavoring syrup right away with the water. Add shake powder and ice cubes as usual.
