SHAKE THINGS UP …
* If your freezy beverage stops blending, turn off the machine and remove the blender from the base. Stir it up and blend again.
Ice is important, and pre-crushed ice is best. Make sure your ice isn’t old or freezer-burned.
 
SUGAR-FREE CALORIE-FREE SYRUP 411
* Torani Sugar Free Syrups are the best, hands down. Find popular flavors like vanilla in the coffee aisle … Just make sure they’re the zero-calorie, sugar-free ones (they make sugary versions too!). They can also be found at specialty stores like Cost Plus World Market and BevMo!

SWAPS FOR SOYMILK
 
We call for light vanilla soymilk because it’s sweet and creamy, with fewer calories than regular milk (even the fat-free kind). A cup of light vanilla soymilk has about 70 calories and 2g fat. But if you avoid soy, check out these swaps …
*Blue Diamond Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze Super-low in calories (40 per cup!) and extremely delicious. Depending on your taste buds, you might want to add a no-calorie sweetener packet since this is unsweetened, unlike most vanilla soymilk.
*So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk Beverage A little higher in fat, but it’s creamy and amazing and has just 50 calories per cup. Feel free to zazzle it up with some calorie-free sweetener.
*Fat-Free Dairy Milk It has about 20 extra calories per cup, but it’ll work. It will save you some fat and add a little protein, but it isn’t as creamy as the others. Add a small amount of calorie-free sweetener.
