Take creamy fat-free ice cream or nonfat frozen yogurt and milk, add loads of luscious strawberries and such and the results are pure deliciousness! It’s so flavorful, it doesn’t need to be topped off with whipped cream and a cherry-like many choose to do at McDonald’s. Their shake is not even made with real strawberries! McDonald’s uses a strawberry syrup instead to flavor the shake. One of my strawberry shakes has 166 calories and 1 gram of fat. Each skinny shake even has 7 grams of fiber! The same 12 oz McCafé Strawberry Shake has 420 calories and 10 grams of fat. My skinny shake makes a refreshing afternoon treat or dessert. So, give it a whirl…You’re gonna love it!
Ingredients
- ½ cup Breyers fat-free creamy vanilla ice cream or nonfat frozen yogurt, see shopping tips
- 3 tablespoons nonfat milk
- 1 cup fresh strawberries or frozen, sliced (if using frozen strawberries, you’ll not need to add ice)
- ¾ cup ice cubes
- ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ packages Stevia, Splenda or your favorite sugar substitute
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a blender (if using frozen strawberries, you’ll not need to add ice) Mix on high until completely blended. You might need to turn off the blender a few times to stir and then blend again. It also helps to shake the blender a few times, while blending.

Did you know that strawberries have more vitamin C than an orange? Eight medium-sized strawberries contain 140% of the RDA for vitamin C. Shopping and Prep Tips
I used Breyers fat-free creamy vanilla ice cream. You’ll find it in most supermarkets. If you can’t find it, use another brand of fat-free vanilla ice cream or nonfat frozen yogurt. If using frozen yogurt from your local shop, freeze for at least 1 hour to harden.
