I'm not sure how much sugar u would like to have in it but i have made a shake that i love very much and its pretty easy.

i get a box of Chapmans Strawberrie Banana ice cream its like $2.99 and the PC Presidents Choice 6 Berry Blend in a plastic frozen container cost is $4.99 for 600 grams.
if u have time defrost in a dish on the counter with a bit of sugar or sweetener and then put in a blender till its mixed and serve in a nice tall and thick cup with a spoon and its ready to eat.

Answer 6

Lemon-Lime Slushy

All Phases. From Reva Bowen.



2 1/2 cups ice cubes
1 1/4 cups nonfat milk
1/3 cup granular Splenda
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice chilled, about 2 lemons
1/4 cup fresh lime juice chilled, about 2 limes


Place all ingredients in a blender. Cover and blend on high until smooth, stopping to stir as needed. Serve immediately. Serves 3.



Fruit Smoothie

Phase depends on fruit used. Berries okay for Phase 1, other fruits in Phases 2 and 3.



1 cup skim milk

1/2 cup frozen fruit (blueberries, strawberries, and peaches are good)

Sugar substitute to taste

Flavorings/extracts to taste (vanilla, almond, etc.)*



In a blender, blend until smooth.



Vary amounts of fruit and milk to your taste, to make it thinner, or thicker like ice cream.



*Can also use sugar-free syrups such as Torani or Da Vinci.



Yogurt-Berry Smoothie

All phases.



8 ounces of nonfat, no-sugar-added yogurt (fruit-flavored, vanilla, or plain)

1/2 cup blueberries or strawberries

1/2 cup crushed ice

1 packet of sugar substitute (optional)



Blend until smooth and serve immediately.





Chocolate Mocha Milkshake

All Phases. One serving. Recipe from Kathy Sill.



1/2 cup part-skim or low fat ricotta cheese

1/2 to 2/3 cup skim milk

2 teaspoons cocoa powder

3 packets Splenda

1/2 teaspoon caffeine-free instant coffee

Splash of vanilla (1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon, to taste)

Ice (as much as it takes to make a nice thick icy shake)



Put all ingredients in a blender, and blend until thoroughly mixed.



Note: Kathy said she makes this for dessert, and it eliminates any desire for ice cream. For variety she sometimes uses some sugar-free flavored syrup instead of the coffee.



Chocolate Shake

Phase 2.



1 cup skim milk

1/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese

2 teaspoons chocolate (or chocolate fudge) sugar-free pudding mix



Blend well, for one to two minutes, in a blender, then add some ice cubes, a little at a time, and blend until ice is crushed and of a good consistency, to make it “icy.”



The ricotta gives it richness. The pudding makes it thicker.



You could substitute low fat or nonfat cottage cheese for the ricotta.



Variations: Add 2 teaspoons peanut butter and/or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and top with some RediWhip.



Chocolate Banana Smoothie
Phases 2 and 3. Makes about 2 cups.



2 cups frozen banana chunks

1/2 cup no-sugar-added chocolate soy milk

2 tablespoons sugar free maple syrup



Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth, adding a bit more soy milk if necessary.



Note: Can use banana that is not frozen if you add some ice cubes to the blender. Could also use chocolate milk that you’ve made with Splenda or other sweetener instead of the soy milk.



Soy Protein Berry Smoothie

All phases.



2 tablespoons soy protein powder

1/2 cup frozen strawberries or blueberries

1 cup low fat plain or vanilla yogurt

1 cup soymilk



Mix ingredients in blender. Thin to taste with cold water.



This gives you two of your three daily servings of dairy.



Iced Coffee Smoothie



1 cup coffee, a bit on the strong side

1/4 to 1/2 cup low fat milk, or soy milk, or fat free half and half

Sugar substitute to taste

Spices to taste (cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice)



Blend in a blender until smooth.



Icy Mocha Cappuccino



2 cups ice

1/2 cup fat free half & half

1/2 cup water

1 to 2 teaspoons instant coffee, to taste

1 to 2 teaspoons cocoa

2 tablespoons sugar free vanilla syrup

2 packets Splenda (or other sugar substitute)



Combine all ingredients in a blender until blended, but icy.



Peanut Butter Shake

All phases. Two servings.



2 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter (without added salt or sugar)

1/2 cup nonfat or part skim ricotta cheese

1/2 cup water

Sugar substitute equivalent to 2 teaspoons sugar

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

1 cup ice cubes



Place all ingredients except ice in a blender and blend for 20 to 30 seconds, until smooth. Add the ice cubes and blend for 20 to 30 seconds more, until thick.



Oat-Strawberry Smoothie

Phases 2 and 3.



1 1/4 cups strawberries, halved or quartered (depending on size)

1/2 cup fat-free plain yogurt

1/4 teaspoon sugar substitute

2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk

2 tablespoons chopped walnuts

1 1/2 tablespoons oat bran

1 tablespoon sugar-free pancake syrup

1/4 cup ice cubes



Combine the strawberries, yogurt, sugar substitute, dry milk, walnuts, oat bran, syrup, and ice cubes in a blender and blend until smooth and frothy.



Phase 3 Shake Using SlimFast

Posted on forum by SUNSTAR: Here's my world famous Phase 3 shake which I ADORE!



1 can SlimFast

Lots of ice

2 Sweet N Low packets (can use other sweeteners)

Walden Farms chocolate syrup

Da Vinci caramel syrup

Coffee



Blend, using a blender, until smooth.



Note: SUNSTAR didn't specify flavor of SlimFast or amounts to use for ice, syrups, and coffee. This is Phase 3 because SlimFast contains sugar.
