It’s hot out. And today is National Piña Colada Day (good timing, huh?). So, you really have no choice but to indulge in a frozen pineapple-coconut cocktail, right?! But rather than suck down a typical piña colada packed with crazy amounts of calories and fat, be a little creative and whip up one of ours. It’s insanely creamy, super-delicious and we pretty much guarantee that you’ll like it as much as any piña colada you’ve ever had. Don’t believe us? Whip out that blender and give those blades (and our awesome recipe) a whirl!

Summer may be coming to an end, but chocolate shakes are DELICIOUS any time of the year. And we’ve been dying to make a HUGE guilt-free version of those thick, creamy ice cream shakes you find at every fast food chain under the sun. After various attempts (even our blender was becoming irritated with us), we came up with the perfect chocolate shake swap. Not only is it HUGE and low in both calories and fat, but it even has 7 grams of fiber — WE ROCK SO MUCH! So get shakin’, people!

We discovered the secret ingredient to the world’s best hot cocoa: fire. Don’t fear the flame, people! Kitchen torches can be relatively cheap, easy to find (at places like Bed Bath & Beyond or online), and pretty simple to use. Get ready to burn some marshmallows!
- mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- unsweetened cocoa powder
- 25-calorie packet hot cocoa mix
There’s only one way to put this. WE ROCK. Our super-chocolatey Frozen Fudge Chip Freeze is phenomenal, not only because it has less than a third the calories and a quarter of the fat of Starbucks’ Double Chocolate Chip Blended Frappuccino Creme, but because it actually tastes BETTER, too. We’re not even gonna waste time blabbing about it. Here’s the recipe. Try it out for yourself.

HG Alternative! If you’re under 21 (or just dance funny when you’re tipsy), try this virgin version — simply swap the tequila for an extra 1/4 cup of the soda. That liquor-less slushfest clocks in with only around 28 calories and a POINTS® value of 0*.

- frozen unsweetened strawberries
- crushed ice or 5 - 8 ice cubes

No need to battle the bees (and calories) at carnivals or amusement parks. We swapped sinfully sugary frozen lemonade for an equally sweet guilt-free recipe. Start blending, lemon-lovers! P.S. This also ROCKS when made with pink lemonade mix!

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!
