Around this time of year, I find myself tempted and tested with a plethora of goodies at holiday gatherings! I tell ya, my dad has blessed me with the “sweet tooth” gene, so its hard to resist. After days in a sugar coma, you’d think I would (or anyone for that matter) refrain from possibly eating one more sweet thing!! Well, this certainly is not the case. My body is now craving after dinner sweets. Some of you may relate…
Want to satisfy your SWEET craving, but not go over board on calories and fat? Here’s an idea that I use quite frequently. Sip on some Orgeon Chai tea! I make mine with 1/2 milk (plain soy milk was in my fridge tonight), 1/2 water or sometimes 1/3, 2/3 respectively. Also, since I only want a little sweetness, I use about have the individual packet of powder. Saves me some calories, but still provides lots of flavor! A friend told me once that she sips on Swiss Miss no-sugar added hot cocoa mix. Add a splash of peppermint extract or peppermint schnapps for the season!
Another idea is to make decaf tea and add a little Agave nectar or honey for sweetness! DELICIOUS:) Some of my favorite teas are…
Lipton Spiced Chai (not decaf! Great with a splash of milk)
Tazo Decaf Chai
Tazo Decaf Green Tea
Happy sipping to all!
