It's simple, just add maybe 1/3 the water for the Strawberry Dairyshake, mix it vigorously to get out as many little chunks of pudding power as you can. I just shook it in the pouch like a mad man for like 90 seconds.

I chilled it in the fridge for 15 minutes and then it was ready to rock & roll!

good stuff!

I wish I'd have seen this before I consumed a strawberry shake a few weeks ago :mrgreen: Next shake I come across is getting the frosting treatment, thanks for sharing!

Right on, Ruleryak! Man, this was one tasty combo - I gotta see if I have any Dairy Shakes lyin' around. Not old one's either - speaking of which, how do old Dairyshakes hold up? I've yet to have the courage to consume say, any dairy shake older than a 2007 DoP - I always associated the older ones with that Dairyshake Recall from like 10 years ago.

I have a photo set of Chocolate Pudding with a Vanilla Pound Cake too but darnit I cannot find those photos in my large plethora mess of pictures I've accumulated.

I'll put em up on this thread when I finally fin em' again. :oops:

BE careful with the 07's. I want to say that was the recall year, but you'll have to do some digging on here. The last one I ate was an 05 so about 10 years old at the time and just fine. The Muesli you had an issue with in the international thread though reminds me of a batch of instant milk I had that went bad. It looked ok, smelled a tiny bit off, but tasted a little sour and I had issues with it after consumption. Since that muesli had milk mix in it I just wondered in the same problem cropped up there. Normally the US granolas with milk are just about my favorite snacks out there, even 5 years down the road.

Steve that looks like a good desert combination from here. Great idea for soldier's field icing.
Get a candle or mini glow stick and instant field Birthday cake :D DOD Natick approved :mrgreen:
I suppose you could do that with the chocolate powder also. We would mix the coco powder, with coffee creamer, sugar pack, instant coffee and a 1/4 canteen cup of water and make a caffeinated pudding. Troops would mix the brownie in for good measure.
The straight up version minus the brownie was called A Ranger Shake or Ranger Pudding depending if you made it soupy to drink or mushy to eat with a spoon.
