Skip the fatty, calorie-packed holiday bevs this year. HG has some guilt-free and seriously delicious hot drinks for you...

Berry Hot Cocoa OR Citrus Christmas Cocoa


(Entire recipe: Approx. 27 calories, 0g fat, 200mg sodium, 4g carbs, 1g fiber, 2g sugars, 2g protein = 0 Points!)

We liked both versions of this fruity cocoa so much that we couldn’t pick just one!


Ingredients:

1/4 tsp. Crystal Light, Raspberry Ice OR Sunrise Classic Orange

1 packet Swiss Miss Diet Hot Cocoa Mix (or another 25-calorie diet cocoa mix)
6 oz. very hot water



Directions:

Combine all ingredients in a mug and stir until completely blended. Serves 1.

Pumpkin Crème Dream


(Entire recipe: Approx. 50 calories, 2.5g fat, 138mg sodium, 6g carbs, 2g fiber, 1g sugars, 1g protein = 1 Point!)


This sweet 'n creamy holiday treat was born when some of our favorite stuff jumped into a pot together. Woohoo!



Ingredients:

2 tbsp. canned pure pumpkin

6 oz. Almond Breeze, Unsweetened Vanilla (or light vanilla soymilk*)

1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

1/4 tsp. cornstarch

1/4 tsp. vanilla extract

no-calorie sweetener (such as SPLENDA); to taste



Directions:

In a small pot, combine all ingredients (except for sweetener) and stir well. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Once mixture begins to froth, continue to boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and pour into a mug. Allow to cool slightly. Sweeten liberally with your no-cal sweetener of choice and enjoy. Serves 1.



*Recipe nutritionals were calculating using Almond Breeze Unsweetened; nutritionals may vary with light soymilk.

(Entire recipe: 20 calories, 0g fat, 80mg sodium, 6g carbs, 0g fiber, 2g sugars, 0g protein = 0 Points!)

This traditional holiday sip gets a makeover, courtesy of a cranberry quencher that won’t add obnoxious amounts of calories to your spiced cider!



Ingredients:

8 oz. Ocean Spray Diet Cranberry Spray
