Recipe: Frosty Mocha Shake

This is another quick and easy dessert or snack from the folks at Betty Crocker. It’s from the little recipe book called “Simple Healthy Recipes” published several years ago. It really is delicious….

The recipe calls for vanilla fat-free no-sugar added ice cream… obviously if you use a sugar version of fat free ice cream it will add calories …. but do at least try using at least the fat free ice cream… in things like shakes .. you can’t tell … and it is so much healthier. Warren wrinkles his nose at the thought of fat-free ice cream… he didn’t even know I used it when he tried it… so my advice is… don’t tell them…well…. maybe after they’re done drinking it.
