Slushie maker

by Kathy Bragg

Slushie Express

Slushie Express

Ok, I actually make smoothies with it but the manufacturer calls it a slushie maker. $15 at Wal-Mart.

(Kathy didn't provide a picture, so I don't know if the photo above is the same model. Click the link to see some choices.)

I make a 50 calorie, 12 ounce chocolate milkshake! Who doesn't love a 50 calorie chocolate milkshake that gives you calcium! With sugar-free "syrups" that are coffee flavorings, sugar free drink mixes you pour in bottled water, flavorings from your spice rack, Almond Breeze 'milk,' Dannon Light & Fit vanilla yogurt that is just 80 calories a cup, protein powders, fruit, the possibilities are endless and filling and delicious!

Two packets diet Swiss Miss hot cocoa mix, 1 cup water, and ice to make two cups. Blend and enjoy. YUM!!! Adding a tablespoon instant chocolate pudding mix makes it extra creamy and delicious for only 25 more calories. Use frozen fruit instead of ice. The packets of drink mixes you add to bottled water, add one packet, one cup water and ice to make two cups, blend and enjoy.

That's It!

That's it!! It may be a seasonal item in some areas. They also have ONE sugar-free flavor of the slushie syrups, cherry, and it does make a terrific slushie! Very refreshing in the hot summer. You're right, I could write a book just on smoothies and slushies! Thanks for more ideas!

Great Recipes!
by: Suzette Kroll-Barancik, RD

OK, you and I need to collaborate on a cookbook! You have great ideas.

I also (as you probably already know) am a HUGE smoothie/"slushie" fan because I can drink HUGE volumes to get full on very few calories.

Here's one of my tricks: I brew coffee substitute (Teeccino is my favorite but I guess you could also use decaf coffee) and keep some cold in the refrigerator and freeze some in ice cube trays. Then to make a smoothie, I use the cold "coffee" blended with my smoothie ingredients (could be your diet Swiss Miss) and the frozen cubes to make it thick.

You can also brew green tea and do the same thing to get the health benefit of the antioxidants in the green tea.

Thanks again for your great recipes! Keep them coming!
