Hamburger & Strawberry Shake
Ingredients:2 oz Ground Beef1 cup of Milk1 cup of Plain Yogurt 2 cups of Frozen Strawberries2 cups of iceSplendaAdobe seasoning or Seasoning of choice2 MeatsShake makes 2 servings. Half or 1 serving = 1 milk and 1 fruit for those of you on the 700 and 900 diets: French Fries. (Oh yes I went there!)1 small potato1 teaspoon of olive oil
salt1 starch1 fat
Directions:
Pre Heat Oven to 375 degrees.Hamburger: Mixed up 2oz of ground beef with seasonings and make it into a patty. Place the patty on a small baking sheet and cook for 25 minutes for a well-done patty. Shake: Mix milk, yogurt, frozen strawberries (full strawberries not blended), and ice into a blender. Blend to desired thickness. Then, add Splenda until sweetened as desired. Pour into a pretty glass. (Ok so it’s really a smoothie, but my eyes and taste buds did not notice.)French fries: Peel skin from the potato. Slice the potato with a peeler into thin slices. For round ones start slicing at the end instead of in the middle. This will create a circular cut.(I used the new Titan Peeler and got fancy with it but a regular peeler will work.) Mix in a small bowl with olive oil. Spread over a small baking sheet.(I used a cake pan) and sprinkle salt on top. Leave in oven for 25-35 minutes or until crisp. Edges will begin to brown and become crispy.YUMM!*Use a peeler do not cut or it will take forever to cook
