When we saw that the new limited-time-only drink at Starbucks has MOCHA goodness mixed with sweet TOFFEE flavor, we knew we had to give it a guilt-free makeover. And we’re SO glad we did! Make it now, people…

HG Tip! Got a milk frother? (This is the kind we have at the HQ.) Put soymilk in a separate microwave-safe mug and microwave until hot, about 45 seconds. Froth the hot milk and use it to top off your beverage. Ta-da!

HG Alternative! No toffee-flavored syrup on hand? (Click here for where-to-find info!) Use 1 tsp. light/fat-free caramel dip, a no-calorie sweetener packet, 1 drop almond extract, and a dash of salt instead — your drink will then have about 90 calories and a POINTS® value of 2*.

HG has done it again – we’ve created yet another fantastic Starbucks swap! This one is creamy and crazy-chocolatey, with just the right amount of minty candy cane, coffee, and french vanilla flavors thrown in. It’s super-sized to match The Bucks’ 12-ouncer, but feel free to whip up a half-sized version of this recipe that’ll fit nicely into your favorite mug — then it’ll have fewer than 55 calories and a POINTS® value of 1*. Think of it as our delicious little holiday gift to you. And BTW, if java’s not your thing, feel free to make this minty concoction without coffee. Enjoy!

Yes, it’s time for another Starbucks swappuccino, courtesy of your pal HG. She and her trusty blender are working overtime this summer, and the latest creation to come out of the HG kitchen is a rockin’ Raspberry Mocha Frappuccino swap. Even if you don’t like raspberry (or coffee!), we think you’ll dig this one. Try it and let us know what you think…

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!
