Diet Chocolate Milkshake

This low calories recipe for a diet chocolate milkshake has a delicious malted milk taste and helped me lose over 150 lbs. It is made from instant nonfat dry milk and fat free hot cocoa mix, froths up nicely and makes you feel full really fast. It quenches my desire for sweets.

Over the course of 2 years of diet and exercise I lost over 150 lbs (which eventually led to a tummy tuck and lateral thigh lift operation to remove sagging skin).

Whenever I had a craving for a sweet I would make myself a diet chocolate milkshake. I tried lots of diet milkshake recipes and found many lacking and unsatisfying. Some had a "chalky taste" and some just didn't taste good.

I finally stumbled onto a diet chocolate milkshake that

  • tastes like malted milk chocolate
  • froths up thick and airy when shaken
  • makes you feel full fast (bloated)
  • is only 110 calories per milkshake

  

Ingredients:
1/3 cup Nonfat Dry Milk (Publix brand Nonfat Dry Milk) 80 calories
1 packet of Nestle brand Hot Cocoa Mix (Fat Free with Calcium Rich Chocolate Flavor) 25 calories
4-5 individual serving packets of sugar equivalent such as equal*
4-5 ice cubes
1 cup ice water

 

How to Make a Diet Chocolate Milkshake

add 1/3 cup nonfat dry milk to plastic shaker
add 4 packet of equal sweetener (more or less to taste)
add 1 cup ice water
shake vigorously till frothy (20-30 seconds)
add one packet hot cocoa mix
shake vigorously till frothy
enjoy

Note: If possible drink this milkshake from the shaker because if left unattended for a minute or so it has a tendency to separate and then needs to be "re-shaken". I found that repeated shakings between sips keeps it frothy and delicious.

This is not an endorsement for milkshake diets nor a recommendation for this milkshake recipe supporting it's nutritional benefits, it is just my milkshake that worked for me.

* I tested a variety of artificial sweeteners in this fat free milkshake recipe and found that Equal somehow allowed the milkshake to froth the best (and taste the best). I would not recommend other artificial sweeteners for this diet chocolate shake.
