Love Starbucks drinks but HATE the fat & calories that go along with

them? Good news! Hungry Girl has some swap-tastic recipes for you...

410 calories, 10g fat, 76 carbs

Guilt-Free Swap: Hungry Girl's Ooey Gooey Caramel Apple Cider - *50

calories, less than 1g of fat, 10 carbs

Hot cider with caramel & whipped cream doesn't have to set you back

hundreds of calories. To make this apple-licious treat at home, mix a

packet of Alpine Sugar Free Spiced Cider with 6 - 8 oz. of water. Add

a teaspoon of T. Marzetti's Light Caramel Apple Dip -- then top with

a small cloud of Fat Free Reddi-Wip. Mmmmm!

You don't want a 510-calorie cup of mint-infused hot cocoa. Forget

that! Just mix up a packet of your favorite 25-calorie sugar free,

fat free hot chocolate (Nestle, Swiss Miss, etc.), then add a shot of

Sugar Free Torani Peppermint syrup, a squirt of Fat Free Reddi-Wip,

and call it a day. A very GOOD day!
