Ingredients
Instructions
- Pour the cold skim milk into the blender container.
- Add the sugar-free chocolate pudding mix and vanilla ice milk.
- Cover the blender and blend at highest speed for 15 seconds or until smooth.
- Serve immediately. The mixture will thicken as it stands.
- Thin with additional milk if necessary to reach desired consistency.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of cocoa powder or a splash of vanilla extract to enhance the chocolate taste. If you're looking for a creamier texture, you can substitute half of the skim milk with almond milk or oat milk. Sweeten further with a zero-calorie sweetener if desired. This recipe can also be made with non-dairy ice cream for vegan options.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this Low-Fat Chocolate Pudding Milk Shake in tall glasses for a refreshing treat. Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for added visual appeal. It pairs well with light snacks like fresh fruit or a slice of Health Nut Bread for a balanced indulgence.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover shake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The shake may thicken during storage, so stir thoroughly before serving. If it becomes too thick, thin it out by blending again with a splash of skim milk until the desired consistency is reached.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular chocolate pudding mix instead of sugar-free?
Yes, you can use regular chocolate pudding mix, but be aware that it will increase the calorie count and fat content of the shake. Adjust the amount of vanilla ice milk accordingly to maintain a similar texture.
Is it possible to make this shake dairy-free?
Absolutely! Substitute the skim milk with almond milk or coconut milk and replace the vanilla ice milk with a non-dairy ice cream alternative. This will make the shake both delicious and dairy-free.
Can I add additional flavors to this shake?
Certainly! You can add a banana for creaminess, or a tablespoon of peanut butter for a chocolate-peanut butter twist. Experimenting with flavors can add variety to your shake while keeping it low-fat.
