I prefer to make the WW Smoothies with water, not milk. It uses less points, provides a milk serving anyways and is not as "odd" in texture. The only word I can come up with to explain the texture when made with milk is "slimy" and that's not a word we should use when it comes to food!
So today I
decided to use both a vanilla and a chocolate smoothie packet to 16 oz. of ice and water. Tossed in the blender it gave me the world's largest "milk shake" I've ever seen! I decided to go for the decadent side and add a 1/2 pack of Oreo 100 Calorie Packs. At this point I'm at 4 Pts for a 24oz. or larger glass! The more crushed ice you use, the thicker the milkshake is, so don't worry about putting in too much!Blended all together the Oreo pack gave it just a hint of Oreo flavor. The combination of the vanilla and chocolate seemed to make it a creamier, smoother almost "white" chocolate flavor.
I've been "bad" lately, although I did lose 2 lbs. this week, and I just feel like I need to make some changes in my choices. This was a slightly different option that I knew would fill me so full for breakfast and yet be very point friendly. I've been having horrible sweets cravings, could be for a variety of reasons, and I know the more I put them off the more I crave so it was time to tackle that desire the proper way!
So next time you're "hungry" and craving something sweet and chocolaty... go for one o
f these Oreo Milkshakes! Not only is it filling but very point friendly! Remember presentation accounts for a lot also. Placing the milkshake in a HUGE glass and topping it with 2 mini Oreo pieces just made me feel like it was a "special" treat... almost forbidden! But reality was, it was not only VERY good, tasty and special... it was so point friendly and filling that I felt a secret success in just making the choice!
