Delicious, Make Ahead Milk Shakes!
If you've every tried to serve milk shakes as a fun treat with dinner then you know the problem with them. You have a SERIOUS timing issue because they need to be served RIGHT AWAY or they get soupie and then the whole experience is ruined! So why not make the shakes ahead of time? Sounds good to you? Well it sounded good to me. This recipe was delicious and LOW-CALORIE! Since it is made out of pudding and not ice cream! This milk shake is actually kind of healthy! It just takes pudding (which can be the of the sugar-free variety), milk, and fruit. EXCELLENT!
Make Ahead Milk Shake
3-1/2 cups milk (1/2 C. + 2- 1/2 T. Dry Powdered Milk + 3-1/2 C. Water)
1 pkg. (4-serving size) Vanilla Instant Pudding (can be sugar-free)
1 medium ripe banana, cut into chunks
1/2 cup strawberries
Place all ingredients in blender and blend for 1 minute. Refridgerate until ready to serve.
(If you're wondering why mine is orange, it's because I drained a can of peaches and made ours a peach shake. That way it all comes from food storage....AWESOME!!!)

That sounds delicious. I'm always buying pudding (because I like to add it to sweet breads). Thanks for another use for it.
I tried this recipe yesterday, but had to be a little creative because I didn't have strawberries.
I used frozen blackberries instead, and since they are so tart, I added 2 Tablespoons of sugar. I also used the bulk vanilla pudding from the cannery, so I guessed that a 4 oz pkg of vanilla was about 1/2 cup, but it didn't turn out as thick as I anticipated, so next time I would add a little more.
BUT It was very yummy. I was suprised that it didn't taste like it was made from powdered milk at all! We will make this one again for sure!
