This is based on the diet soda & milk combination my mom passed along to me recently. She told me that milk is one of the hardest things to get enough of, and that was a topic of conversation at a recent meeting. And Priscilla brought up the concept of a drink equal parts soda and skim or 1% milk. Use diet cream soda, or diet chocolate soda, and its a really nice drink that's big enough to be satisfying, and cheap enough in points.
So I took it one step further, and added ice and ice cream in my blender.
Milk Shake Freezy
(2) 1 cup skim/1% milk
(0) 1 cup ice
(0) 1 cup diet soda (frex, double-fudge)
(2) 1/2 cup fat free ice cream (or lowfat, as long as its 2 pts per 1/2 cup)
Place all items into a blender and cycle on high to chop ice. Pour into a LARGE cup. This could actually be shared for a 2 point drink, or keep it all to yourself for what tastes like a decadent treat. If you make a chocolate shake, sprinkle in some cinnamon extract for an extra snap of flavor.
