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.

Blackberry Vanilla Shake

Blackberry Vanilla Shake

Longer than I'd like since my last post, but here it is. This is a combination of artificial and real ingredients that works very well. I use the HMR 120 Vanilla Shake Powder along with Torani Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup and 6 to 10 nice, freshly washed blackberries. I add the berries and a tablespoon of syrup to 6 oz of water in the blender while it's running, then add the powder and 6 to 8 ice cubes. The extra vanilla flavor really adds a decadent smoothness to the slightly bitter blackberries. This is really good with a cup of coffee in the morning for breakfast. Enjoy!
