Medifast 'dessert' recipes

Having a dessert on Medifast is pretty nice as a daily morale boost. My wife and have have come up with several that we really like that require only a little bit of extra preparation.

• Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Smoothies
• Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Shakes
• Dark Chocolate Brownie Smoothies
• "Reese's Cup" Brownies

I've talked about these before, but let's spell them out.

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Smoothies

Ingredients

• 1 Packet Medifast Chocolate Chip Cookie Soft Bake
• 1 Tbsp Light Cream Cheese
• 1 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1 cup crushed ice
• 1/2 cup cold water

Preparation

• Put the ice in a blender and blend until it becomes 'snow'.
• Add all other ingredients and blend until mixed. 
• If necessary, scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula and blend more
• Pour into a glass and eat with a spoon or drink with a large straw.

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Shakes

Ingredients

• 1 Packet Medifast Chocolate Pudding
• 1 Tbsp PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter
• 1 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
• 1 cup crushed ice
• 1/2 cup cold water

Preparation

• Put the ice in a blender and blend until it becomes 'snow'.
• Add all other ingredients and blend until mixed. 
• If necessary, scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula and blend more
• Pour into a glass and eat with a spoon or drink with a large straw.

Dark Chocolate Brownie Smoothies

Ingredients

• 1 Packet Medifast Chocolate Brownie Soft Bake
• 1 Tbsp Light Cream Cheese
• 1 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 1 cup crushed ice
• 1/2 cup cold water

Preparation

• Put the ice in a blender and blend until it becomes 'snow'.
• Add all other ingredients and blend until mixed. 
• If necessary, scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula and blend more
• Pour into a glass and eat with a spoon or drink with a large straw.

You'll note that these three recipes are surprisingly similar. Feel free to experiment with other extract flavors, more or less cocoa powder, or other tweaks. IN every case, I'm a big fan of ice cream and shakes, and these are great ways to make a bulky dessert at the end of the day.

"Reese's Cup" Brownies

Ingredients

• 1 Packet Medifast Chocolate Brownie Soft Bake
• 2 Tbsp PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter, prepared
• 5 oz water

Preparation

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F
• Mix the Brownie in a bowl with 5 oz of water, it should be runnier than normal
• Mix the PB2 with 1 tbsp of water (or less, you want it somewhat thick) and set aside
• Pour half of your brownie mixture into a small ramekin
• add the PB2, making a round flat 'biscuit' of PB2 that doesn't touch the edges
• Cover with remaining brownie batter
• Bake for 15 minutes
• Remove from the oven and put in the Freezer for 30-45 minutes, or the fridge for 2-3 hours
• Eat with a spoon!

These are amazing. I mean, they really are. You add extra water to get a good consistency, 15 minutes at 350 under-bakes them, and then you chill them and you've got a really fudge-like dessert. I cook them at the same time I'm cooking my Lean and Green, so they're ready to go a couple hours later.

These recipes all came from other sites and blogs, but I've tweaked them a tad to make them more to my liking. Oh, and seriously, invest in a ramekin for your brownies. So much better than the microwave-safe paper container.
