I went to the grocery store today. Tuesdays and Thursdays are the best days to find specials in my area! It was just such a hot day here that as I hurried up and down past the rows of boxes and canned goods in Walmart, all I could seem to think about was cold drinks, ice cream and watermelon. I came out of there with lots of cooling items, needless to say! Today, as I brace for another Texas summer, I'm happy to share a quick little recipe for a milkshake that's cheap and easy. I like to change the directions up a bit; I replace the ice cream with vanilla frozen yogurt or ice milk (less fat and calories) and use sugar-free jello pudding. You can get really creative with this....banana cream pudding-then top the finished shake with whipped cream and crumbled Nilla wafers! How about a chocolate shake with whipped cream and Oreo crumbles. Oh! So many possibilities! Enjoy :)
Jello Milkshake
1 C milk
1 pkg. (4 serving size) Jello pudding mix
1 pint ice cream (vanilla)
Put all ingredients in the blender and give it a whirl for 30 seconds. Happy summertime sippin'! Put the cushions on the wicker chairs; it's time for some porch-sittin'.

Hey Marcia! This looks so yummy. We get lured into the drive through for shakes all the time. I don't think I've ever tried using pudding mix for a shake. You are brave and I'm going to give his one a go. We have all the ingredients on hand.
ReplyDeleteHi Marcia,
ReplyDeleteOne of the special things that my "Honey Bunny" does for me is make me a Milk Shake every once in a while. I am giving him this recipe to try, maybe tonight. Hope you have a very special week end and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
Come Back Soon!
