Skinny Beesh Frozen Hot Chocolate by @SarahInMI

I am quite likely addicted to sugar – if you follow me on Twitter, you’ll know me by my frequent tweets about cookies (I make the best). Those are the tweets that make the Diet Police Spambots come out in droves to follow me on Twitter. If only they knew: I may consume mass quantities of sugar, but I also tend to watch what I eat when I can.

So, while I’m that annoying girl who says, “Ooooh, I want a milkshake SO BAD RIGHT NOW!” generating a chain-reaction of milkshake cravings – try it on Twitter, you’ll see – the odds of me actually getting in the car and hitting the drive-thru at MickeyD’s to get a frosty milkshake are pretty slim. Yeah, I want a milkshake but I’m pretty sure I’m too lazy to get one.

Because my cravings are persistent and loud, though, I had to come up with my OWN do-it-yourself milkshake, and really, it’s so easy and so NOT horrible for you, you can totally justify covering it with a metric ton of whipped cream.

Add one packet hot chocolate mix (I use sugar-free, natch), 1 cup skim milk, and three ice cubes to your blender.

BLEND. Then blend some more. I use the “Whip” setting on my blender. I can’t really tell the difference from one setting to another, so I’m basically just fooling myself.

Pour into a nice tall glass (or two if you’re nicer than I am and willing to share).

Don’t forget the whipped cream. Lots of it.
