Can you doctor it up by making it into a yogurt smoothie in your blender? Add 1/2 c plain yogurt, 1/4 c cream, 1-1/4 c crushed ice (I also add 2 T psyllium husks when I make low-carb smoothies).
Then, depending on the flavor you started with, add one of the following:
- some frozen unsweetened berries
- 1 tsp Crystal Light powder (I know, aspertame :yikes )
- 1 tsp cocoa powder and a few drops of liquid sucralose

Low Carb Energy magazine has some wonderful recipes using shake mix. One I like makes a crust - a little over a cup of shake mix and 1/2 cup butter; press into 9 x 13 pan, bake about 10-12 minutes at 350. Let cool and use for Strawberry Fluff or cheesecake. (I've varied this a little from the original recipe) I've used various flavors of shake mix and different brands - all have turned out well.
They also made Christmas cookies with it - to use in a cookie press or shape into balls. Great uses - my husband loved them (I'm not real into this kind of stuff, though!) The cookie recipes have varying extracts and spices in them, and also use an egg and usually some splenda.
