Fuel Pull Drinkable Yogurt THM FP

I've enjoyed eating the Trim Healthy Mama way for about 4 months now. I'm not a food blogger, and I'm more of a follower than a leader when it comes to cooking. But sometimes you read the I ingredients on something and think "I could make this!" And you just have to try.
Many of us in the Facebook group enjoy 000 yogurts while on this plan. It's a great grab and go snack, side or meal depending on how you eat it. I was o e of those many, until I realized I'm allergic to stevia! Now my fast and easy breakfast option. Is gone! As a busy mom on the go this is unacceptable.
So armed with some Ingredients I set to work. And I was successful! The best part is, you only need a few ingredients, and 3 measuring devices. Though once you've made this enough you could totally eyeball it and use no measuring stuff and then it's no mess at all to clean up.
It's a fuel pull, and taste is totally customize-able to what you like.


First Measure out a cup of fat free greek yogurt. Pour into your jar.
Next you need 3 tsp of swerve. (this is also a tablespoon but I never have those clean so use tsp instead.) Add that to your jar as well.  
next 1/2-3/4 cup of almond milk. depending on how runny you like your drinkable yogurt. 

Next I added lemon extract. 1 tsp of that. I also like raspberry extract so I've done both. 
Next add a lid and shake WELL! 
This is what it looks like, runny yogurt. 

Drink right away and enjoy, or store in the fridge for a busy morning. If using on another day shake well again before drinking!

Drinkable Yogurt THM FP
I love drinkable yogurt, but with a stevia allergy I had to get creative. This recipe uses no special ingredients, and doesn't even get mixing bowls dirty!
Ingredients
  • 1 cup 0% fat greek yogurt
  • 1/2-3/4 cup Unsweetened Almond milk
  • 3 tsp Swerve or Eryrithritol sweetener
  • 1 tsp Raspberry or Lemon Extract (or both)
Instructions
Put all ingredients into an 8oz mason jelly jar.shake WELL!drink or store in fridge till ready to drink,* if refrigerating shake well before drinking,.Note: To make sweeter add more swerve or even stevia if not allergic. For different flavors you can try different extracts, or even fresh squeezed juice in small amounts.
I personally do not ingest essential oils or recommend it, but if you do that could change the flavor as well.

AWESOME Cheese Sauce


I've been wanting to add my cleaning and cooking tips to my blog for awhile so this is the first installation in that trend! I'm a homemaker and while I'm crafty I'm a homemaker first. I want to share the things I've learned doing what I feel called to do as well as what I make for fun!
(though cooking yummy things is hardly work)

We were making nacho's tonight and I decided to write down how we make our cheese sauce. It get rave reviews when we make it for family and friends. Hubby has taken it to work with chips in the crockpot many  times and it's required when they do potluck meals. lol

Here's how to make it:
Ingredients:
1/4 Stick of butter
1/6th cup of flour (half of a 1/3)
1 cup milk (we use 2% or vitamin D)
1 cup of cheese (Read tut before measuring out) I recommend Kraft Mexican blend TACO cheese. It has a light seasoning to it and tastes WONDERFUL melted.
Paprika and red and black pepper to taste

NOTE:I also strongly recommend a nylon whisk and non stick pan. This stuff will stick and become like glue when it cools. The nylon whisk is flexible enough to get in all the crevices of the pan, and mix well without scratching the pan. We got ours at Target for less than 5.00 and use it ALL the time.


Melt Butter in pan on medium heat.
Add Flour and salt and whisk together till smooth.
Remove from heat and add milk then return to heat, (if you do not remove from heat it can scorch in the time it takes to measure milk and add it.)
Stir Constantly till well blended, slightly thickened, and when you stop stirring it starts to bubble. It will be steaming hot.
Here's how you can tell it's thickening properly. the edge of the pan will crust a little and the milk will stick a little.
Add cheese, Do not pack the cheese to measure it.
Stir till cheese has melted.
Remove from heat, add seasoning, and stir in.
Turn burner on low, Serve and enjoy!

I highly recommend you rinse your pan, and soak it before washing. It helps so much(even on nonstick pans)!


Let me know what you think and if you have any questions!
