I have found that mixing one scoop of vanilla flavored Slimfast and one half scoop of Super Greens mix in water or milk and then adding a handful of frozen blueberries makes an excellent shake. When it is all mixed in a hand shaker, it tastes like a strawberry milkshake, only with much more nutrition.

They're called "hacks" these days; easy ways to work around a lengthy, often time-consuming process. Making cream cheese from milk isn't difficult, but it does take time. Using cottage cheese is an excellent hack!

I came up with this the other night when I suddenly had extra heads at the table last minute, and not enough meat to go around. I just used what I had left in my veggie drawer. I didn't even have an onion! This was so easy to make, so filling, and everyone loved it. I made mine spicy due to my guests palates, but you can pull back on the heat if you prefer.
