Extra, Extra!

Skip these little extras to keep your drink from turning into a liquid fright-fest . . .

Whipped Cream Catastrophe
—That big, scary squirt of whipped cream can add as much as 130 calories and 12 grams of fat to your drink. What a silly idea that is!
Syrup Downer
—Each pump of those flavored syrups adds 20 to 40 calories to your beverage. The good news? The sugar-free syrups are calorie-free. Weeeee!

 

Brew It Yourself!

To make awesome coffee drinks at home or at the office, have these HG-approved ingredients in your pantry at all times . . .

Instant Coffee
—It does the trick in a pinch.

Unsweetened Cocoa
—Adds chocolatey-good flavor with very few calories. Stick with a teaspoon at a time (about 5 calories) and use a no-calorie sweetener to bring out the flavor.

Light Vanilla Soymilk
—Okay, this actually goes in the fridge. But it's a lifesaver.

No-Calorie Sweetener Packets
—Whether you flavor the pink packs, the blue babies, or (HG's fave) the yellow Splenda ones, keeping a stash of these on hand is key to creating coffee magic!

Torani Sugar Free Syrups
—There are other brands out there, but Torani is the best, hands down. Their Almond Roca, Coconut, and Vanilla flavors are the best for coffee beverages.

Malted Milk Powder
—Just one 10-calorie teaspoon adds a HUGE amount of maltiness to drinks.

Coffee-mate Powdered Creamers (Sugar Free or Fat Free)
—SF Vanilla Caramel and FF French Vanilla are the best, and they have just about 10 calories per tasty teaspoon.

No-Caffeine Zone

 

Can't have lots of caffeine? There are TONS of ways to fulfill your coffee craving without going against the doctor's orders. Starbucks usually has two decaf coffees available on any given day—the house blend as well as a yummy flavored one. You can enjoy almost anything on the menu, practically caffeine-free, as long as you start with one of their decaf coffees. Just look out for other caffeine-laced ingredients (like an espresso shot) before ordering. Most other coffee chains will also make their classic menu items with decaf coffee.

 

 

 

Well, as sad as it is, like all good things, this book must come to an end. It's time for you to stop poking around here, anyhow, and head into the kitchen to start whipping up some guilt-free eats. This book was
so
much fun to write (I have to admit, the recipe testing was my flavorite part!) and I hope it helps you realize that eating better is
not
about depriving yourself. You can easily find ways to eat the foods you love (even the so-called "bad" ones!) by whipping up fun and easy, better-for-you versions right at home.
