Finding a yummy sugar-free dessert is just about impossible
unless you make it yourself.
I love sweets , always have, always will. One of my favorite
treats is a shake or malt. One of my all time favorite fast food takeout meals
is Dairy Queen breaded and fried tenderloin sandwich with lettuce tomato and
onion, a side order of onion rings, and a large chocolate malt. Heaven. I can
only indulge in this fantasy when my sugar is dropping and needs a good kick in
the butt to settle it down

Smoothies have a way of calling out to me as well. Take a
peek at the carbohydrate count and you can see why I stay away from these
deliciously sounding blends of "healthy" indulgences too.
Prepackaged, pre-made foods aren't done for the health conscious, for the
diabetic, for the lactose or gluten intolerant. They may for three to six
months. maybe even a year you will find a few foods that want to jump on the
latest bandwagon; but companies don't have the staying power for those of us
with special needs.
There is a product and company that has stayed around, Dannon
Light and Fit yogurt. Greek being my latest favorite. Thank you Danon, thank
you. Because now I can not only enjoy the yogurt as is, but I can use your
product to make a delightful treat; a shake or smoothie.
Almost Sugar Free Shake
Ingredients
1 container of any Dannon light and fit yogurt (9 grams of
carbs)
1 cup milk (12 grams of carbs)
Directions
Freeze the yogurt (at least over night). Once frozen place
it in the blender, remembering that any hard or frozen items should be placed
in the blender first so that they are closer to the blades. Add milk and blend.
Pour into a tall glass, add straw, sit back and enjoy.
*Add in fruits if you would like: bananas, blueberries,
raspberries, strawberries, you name it; when you do don't forget to add the
extra carbs into your count
*The banana cream pie yogurt/shake needed a bit of
something, I topped it off with a dollop of whip cream and it was perfect.
