We do enjoy drinks like this TALL, so making the recipe as given gave us 2 drinks & a bit extra for each of us ~ That's not a complaint, just an observation, about the 2 of us gluttons! Anyway, we thoroughly enjoyed our shakes & will be making them again during the summer! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in Newest Zaar Tag]

Yum! The strawberry syrup is delicious and really makes the strawberry shake. I saved some of the strawberry solids to add some chunks into my shake while I kept my husband's shake nice and smooth. I think I will use the remaining syrup to make strawberry lemonade. Made for PRMR. Note to other chef's: the 1 cup strawberry syrup listed in the syrup ingredients is actually the 1 cup that is to be used to make the shake, not an ingredient for the syrup.

I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
