question about idea for shake

[cher36]

I was trying to think of ways to change up my vanilla whey shake. I usually throw a strawberry in it but I am getting sick of that. So I was wondering about taking a box of sugar free butterscotch or choc pudding mix and adding a tiny bit to the blender when I'm whipping it.
Just wondering about if that would be acceptable. I may even add a little to some cool whip and freeze it for a treat, and also considering adding a tiny bit to my oatmeal just for fun.
Thoughts???????

^^^ all those = good idea. Just watch the calories. Once you start adding a bunch of tasty stuff - the calories always jump.

1 cup strawberries = approx 60 cals. 1/2 cup oatmeal = approx 150 cals.

I will watch it. The cals in the instant s/f pudding are as follows :
Butterscotch= 30 cal and 7 carbs in 2 tbs.
Lemon= 25 cal and 6 carbs in 1/4 pkg.
chocolate= 35 cal and 8 carbs in 1/4 pkg
* To flavor a shake, oats or cool whip, I wouldn't think it'd take much.
I'll let ya know how it goes.
I'm hoping for a less than naughty treat out of these!
