My wife, who is on Weight Watchers, wanted a low point and thus low calorie snack. She purchased some cultured milk drink and I put together what is to be an awesome frozen yogurt snack.
So, this one says it is specially made for ice cream so that is what I did with it. Also, I did add 1 cup of squished blackberries. When it was all finished, it turned out to be very smooth. Not only that, but this recipe made 6 cups of frozen confection. What the remarkable thing is: is that each cup counts as a serving size with only 73 calories! No ice cream has 73 calories a cup!
For recipe information, let me know, but each cup turns out to be 2 weight watcher points.
Now, what is so cool about this stuff, is that it is just like some super yogurt. It is plain flavored, but has low calories, high good fat, high carbohydrates and high protein: like good yogurt. It is also filled with Probiotics, which most yogurts are not as they destroy them. I don't think most people realize that the probiotics are what makes yogurt so healthy.
So, 3 cups of the above item mixed in a bowl with 1/4th cup of this stuff:
This is whey low powder. It is a mixture of fructose and lactose and is very low in calories and has low GL's. It is very diabetic friendly because it has 1/4th of the carbs per gram of regular sugar. What also makes this interesting, is while it adds sweetening flavor, it also reduces blood glucose levels. This makes it great for diabetics and it has been testing on type 2. (http://www.wheylow.com/Articles.asp?ID=263#3 )
