Peppermint Hot Chocolate is one of my favorite parts of Christmas, and I can never resist Starbucks at this time of year. I decided to figure out my own way to make some delicious peppermint hot cocoa that wouldn't entirely ruin my day's worth of calories and thought I would share:

Diet Swiss Miss (25 calories each)
8oz of skim milk (app. 85 calories each)
1/4 tsp peppermint extract (or a bit more/less to taste)

Boil the milk and add to the mug with swiss miss and then slowly add peppermint extract to taste- be careful because this is very strong and you can easily end up with something that will clear your sinuses as opposed to tasting good!!

Add a tablespoon of lowfat whipped cream for just another 10 calories!

Delish!
