Diabetic Strawberry/Banana Milkshake

Categories: Beverages, Low-cal, Diabetic
     Yield: 2 Servings

     1 c  Frozen whole strawberries
     1    Ripe banana
     1 c  Milk (skim and low fat work
          Fine)
     4 pk Sugar substitute (or more to
          Taste)
   1/2 ts Vanilla

 Place all ingredients in a blender and run the blender on the highest
 setting.  The shake will take longer in the blender than most people
 will expect because of the frozen strawberries.  However, the frozen
 berries along with the banana provide the smooth thickness of this
 drink. Remember, this recipe is not a scientific formula.  The
 quantities of each ingredient are very flexible, experiment until you
 find your favorite.
