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!
- rum extract or imitation rum extract

I love a good gin and tonic in the summertime, and I also enjoy more exotic, herb-tinged sparklers. But lately my drink of choice has been simpler, lower in alcohol and lower in calories. It’s sparkling and perfectly refreshing. If you are looking for a drink that is not sweet at all, and that has only light flavor, this might be up your alley. I have found it wonderfully refreshing, and a nice substitute for a more alcoholic (and calorie-laden) cocktail.
