I found these recipes in a First Mag.the only one I have tried is the sweet n smooth strawberry frothy..so here they are:

FIZZY PEACH MELBA

in a pitcher,combine 1lt.peach seltzer& 1/3c sugarfree rasberry syrup.

pour over ice in a glass or add to blender with 4 ice cubes and puree.

DELUXE DOUBLE CHOCOLATE SHAKE(Im not sure what phase this would be or if it is alowed)

In blender combine 4c low-carb chocolate ice cream,like Breyers CarbSmart,2/3c sugar-free chocolate syrup and 1/3c water..Puree until smoot.top with chocolate shavings,if desired.

SWEET'N'SMOOTH STRAWBERRY FROTHY

In heat proof bowl,dissolve 1pkg.sugar-free strawberry gelatin in 3/4c boiling water.wisk in 1/2c cold water.place gelatin mixture and 4 ice cubes in blender and blend until smooth and frothy..

LEMON MINT COOLER

In a heat proof bowl,crush 2c fresh mint leaves with 1/3c no calorie sweetener,and 2Tbs.water.Add 6 bags black tea and 4 strips lemon peel..Pour 5 c boiling water over mint mixture.Cover and steep 6 min.Strain;chill.Pour over ice or mix with 4 ice cubes in blender.
