CHEW THE RIGHT THING
BITE IT!
HG's Slurpable Split Shake
Lickety Split!
Woohoo! A banana split you can sip thru a straw. It's perfect for the lazy
(and those who fear spoons!). Enjoy...
Ingredients:
For Shake
1 small banana
1/2 cup light vanilla soymilk
1/4 cup Breyers Double Churn Free Creamy Vanilla fat-free ice cream
1 tsp. Coffee-mate Sugar Free French Vanilla powdered creamer
1 no-calorie sweetener packet (like Splenda or Truvia)
1 cup crushed ice or 5 - 7 ice cubes
For Topping
3 frozen unsweetened strawberries
1 tsp. sugar-free strawberry preserves
2 tbsp. Fat Free Reddi-wip
1/2 tbsp. Hershey's Lite chocolate syrup
Optional: maraschino cherry
Directions:
Place strawberries in a small microwave-safe dish, and microwave for 30
seconds, until mostly thawed. Mash thoroughly with a fork, mix in preserves,
and set aside.
In a separate small dish, combine powdered creamer with 1 tbsp. hot water,
and stir until dissolved. Place creamer mixture along with all other shake
ingredients in a blender, and blend until smooth. Pour into a tall glass, and
top with the strawberry mixture. Top with Reddi-wip, chocolate syrup and, if
you like, a maraschino cherry. Observe how beautiful it looks... then stir it up
and enjoy!

FIGHT IT!
Steak 'n Shake Banana Split Sippable Sundae Milk Shake
Banana Quit!
We've gotta hand it to restaurant chains like Steak 'n Shake. The idea of
putting classic ice cream sundae flavors and ingredients into milkshakes is
TOTALLY brilliant. The thing that's not so smart? The psychotic amount of
calories and fat stuffed into 'em. 750 calories for a beverage?! That's out of
control -- especially since most people order a shake as a drink to be sipped
along with their meal. It's like washing down your lunch with a couple of
BURGERS, calorically speaking. And no sane human would do that! Instead,
make and enjoy our Slurpable Split Shake. We've shaved roughly 500
calories off the average banana split shake, and kept all of the fun and
deliciousness. The only thing psychotic about our swap is how crazy-good it
tastes and how crazy-obsessed you'll become with it!
