We’ve often wondered who discovered that orange and cream taste AWESOME together (ok, maybe we have too much free time on our hands). Well, whoever he or she was happened to have been a genius. But unfortunately, as yummy as this combo tastes, orange and cream are not always a diet-friendly duo. Leave it to Hungry Girl, our resident creamsicle freak, to create a delicious, guilt-free, creamy, orange treat. Our embarrassingly simple recipe uses fat-free Cool Whip for creaminess, diet orange soda for oranginess, and a flexy straw, just ‘cuz it’s fun! What are you waiting for? A floaty-rific creation is just moments away!

Did you really think you’d have to go thru life without enjoying the chocolatey goodness of an Oreo shake? Not a chance! Take HG’s Cookie-rific Ice Cream Freeze out for a spin. It has all the great taste of the fast food version, without all of the nasty consequences.

We’re big fans of Starbucks. But when the coffee chain comes out with a drink that’s way higher in calories than need be, we bypass the real deal and make a delicious low-calorie swap… much like this one, our Cherry Bomb Iced Mocha!

It’s BAAA-AACK! We couldn’t resist serving up our insanely great eggnog recipe now that the holidays are here again. True, there are a few good packaged nogs out there. First there was Silk Nog – great stuff with less than half the calories of regular eggnog. Then along came Vitasoy with Holly Nog – another delicious, guilt-free version. And while we love those, Hungry Girl’s super-easy, make-at-home version has just 88 calories per 8-oz. serving!!! And it is super-thick & creamy and tastes as good as the real thing (trust us – we’ve now tested it out on 213 people!). So dust off that blender of yours and go NOG WILD!

HG Alternative! For some “over 21” eggnog, add 5 ounces of rum to the recipe. With 153 calories and a POINTS® value of 3* per serving, that’s WAY better than an ordinary eggnog cocktail!

French toast is one of those breakfasts you dream about. It’s decadent, delicious, warm, doughy, and just plain AWESOME. It’s also something you THINK you need to avoid if you’re counting calories. Wrong-o, people! HG has been slaving over her trusty frying pan yet again (she loves that thing!), this time concocting super-delicious and EXTREMELY guilt-free french toast. HG Tip: Try this stuff on Monday mornings and you’ll actually have a reason to get out of bed.
