Healthy Chocolate Pudding Shake




For me one of the hardest things about trying to live a healthy life style was giving up chocolate shakes.  Aren't they the best??  Well guess what I found out... A Baskin-Robbins Large Chocolate Oreo Shake has 2,600 calories, 135 g fat, 1,700 mg sodium and 263 g sugar.  Wow.... Ok so that's literally how many calories I eat over 2 days!  Lucky for you though, I'm about the share the best low calorie chocolate shake recipe ever.  Here is what you will need to satisfy your sweet tooth for less than 250 calories:

1 small frozen banana (must be frozen or it won't work)
1/4 cup non fat milk
1/2 cup low calorie vanilla almond milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp. fat free sugar free instant chocolate pudding mix
2 tbsp fat free low sugar cool whip (optional for topping)

Mix all the ingredients into a blender until the pudding starts to thicken.  I use a Big Boss Blender but if you have anything like that or a the Magic Bullet Blender, it works great!  Top with the cool whip and enjoy a thick creamy treat!  It's also fun to experiment with different pudding flavors such as sugar free vanilla, banana, cheesecake, or white chocolate.  These all pair very nicely with the banana and vanilla flavor!
