Skinny Oreo Cookies and Cream Milkshake to Celebrate Oreo’s 100th Birthday

Print Friendly

Get out the blender…Why bother to dunk your Oreo cookies in cold milk?  Here the cookies are, in a sense, “pre-dunked.” Each dreamy sip provides a flavorful proportion of Oreo cookie and vanilla flavors and the shake gets extra body from the ground-up cookies. I’ve made it skinny by using 1% reduced-fat milk, reduced-fat Oreo cookies and a little sugar substitute.  One serving has 118 calories, 2.5 grams of fat, and 3 Weight Watchers POINTS PLUS.  I’m comparing this skinny shake to the popular Baskin-Robbins Oreo Cookies and Cream Shake at an astounding 990 calories and 46 grams of fat.  Wow! Most of us have grown up with Oreo cookies and milk, so I hope you enjoy this skinny shake.

Ingredients

1 cup reduced-fat (1%) milk or ½ cup fat-free and ½ cup reduced-fat 2%

1½ cups ice cubes


Instructions

1. Add all the ingredients in a blender.  Blend on high until smooth. Add a few more ice cubes if the shake isn’t thick enough.

2. Serve at once.
