Picture
Servings: 2

You’ll need:
1 cup frozen mango chunks
1-1/2 cups fresh sliced strawberries
3 Tbsp. sugar or Stevia sweetener
2 cups low fat no sugar added frozen vanilla yogurt or ice cream
1/2 cup low fat milk
Large serving glasses & iced tea spoons
Whole strawberries for garnish (optional)

In a blender pulse frozen mango, strawberries and sweetener. Add low fat frozen vanilla yogurt or vanilla ice cream and low fat milk. Blend on high speed or pulse, until well blended. Strawberry Mango Smoothie/Frap will be very thick. Serve immediately by pouring gently easing with a spatula into two large bar or drinking glasses and enjoy!

Karen’s Note: I definitely love strawberries and when they come in season and I enjoy picking and eating them right out of my strawberry patch too! This is great as an after meal or in-between meal snack idea. Also, this recipe is low fat and low calorie and great for people who are dieting or on-the-go!

Mint Hot Cocoa

10/14/2009

0 Comments

 
Picture
Servings: 3-4

You’ll need:
3-4 cups fat free or low fat milk
2 mint tea bags
1/3 cup steaming hot water in a small cup (for steeping tea)
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. cocoa powder
Fat Free Cool Whip topping or miniature marshmallows (optional)

Place mint tea bags into cup of steaming hot water and set aside to steep.

In a medium size saucepan mix the sugar and cocoa powder. Add the steeped mint tea and stir, until completely dissolved. Set heat to medium-high and slowly add the milk, stirring continually, for about a 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium heat and stir mixture continually for about 4 minutes, until the cocoa is completely heated.

Remove from heat and serve immediately into 3-4 mugs. Top with (optional) Fat Free Cool Whip or mini marshmallows and enjoy!

​This is one of our family favorites and lately we have been experiencing much colder temperatures outside in our area, so I’ve prepared my home-made Mint Hot Cocoa several times already!
