Better Than

Classic Cappuccino Morning Shake

What could be Better Than starting the day with a thick, frothy delicious, low calorie Cappuccino Shake with dates?  It tastes so good and we have got used to having this concoction every week.  We look forward to it and we savour it down to the last drop.  And shall I tell you a secret?  When you taste it, you will too!

The Recipe:

250 ml cold water; 2 dates, de seed; 3 large scoops (45 gms)  F1 Cappuccino Flavour Nutritious Soy Mix; 2 large scoops ( 30 gms)  F3 Blended Soy & Whey Protein Powder.  Blend together for a minute until thick.  Garnish with 1/2 a chopped date and 1 date (de seed).  Sip and enjoy yourself.  

Apricot Bread Pudding

An Old Favourite

This is

 An Old Favourite with a twist.  Instead of steaming or baking this bread pudding, I merely drenched it with an extra large Herbalife French Vanilla  Shake and left it to soak overnight in the refrigerator.  The result was stupendous and this is a dessert we have frequently because of it's taste, nutritional content and low calorie count.

The Recipe:

For The Shake:  500 ml low fat milk; 4 scoops (60 gms Herbalife French Vanilla Nutritional Mix; 30 gms almond powder/ meal; 1 tsp vanilla essence.  

Blend together for one minute and keep aside till required.

For The Bread Pudding: 8 slices, brown bread, buttered on one side only; 20 apricots.

Soak the apricots in warm water just enough to cover them, overnight.  Next day stone them and boil apricots in the same water till thick and soft.  Extract the kernels from the seed.  

Heat a large nonstick pan and toast brown bread on medium flame both sides till crisp and golden brown.  Layer in a glass dish.  Pour the shake over and leave to soak in the refrigerator.  When well soaked decorate with the apricots and kernels.  Drizzle the juices over.  It is so delicious, it leaves you wanting for more.

Red Velvet Shake

New Year Shake

Ring out the old, ring in the new,

                                                            Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
                                                            The year is going, let him go;
                                                            Ring out the false, ring in the true.
                                                            ~Alfred, Lord Tennyson, 1850

With one of my my favourite shakes at hand- Red Velvet- I'm awaiting the dawn of a new year.  2013 has been an eventful one and I look forward to welcoming 2014.  Let's drink to the New Year 2014.

It’s like a new Day- of Energy, of Strength, of Ideas

It’s like a bunch of whole new things- of Prayers, of Friends, and of Love.

Ending 2013 on a positive note.  To All Of Us.  Cheers.
