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.

Pear Caramel Shake

New crop of pears, new purchase of caramel syrup. New shake flavor for me. The pears really thicken this one up nicely.

1 pear, quartered and cored. (I leave the skin on, but it does add a bit of extra texture.)

1 - 2 tablespoons caramel flavoring (Da Vinci is my new brand.)

1 scoop vanilla powder

6 oz. water

6 - 10 ice cubes.

Add the caramel and pears to water in the blender as it is running. When the pears are liquified, add vanilla shake powder. Add ice cubes until it is at a good consistency for you. This makes a nice tall shake.
