Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe – 1 Point +Posted on December 7th, 2011Truly an amazing seasonal drink, this Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe is a real treat at just 1 Points + per serving! Creamy, pumpkin-y and everything you’d expect, and it still has the whipped cream! I love the popular coffee shop version, but I’d rather save myself the $$ and the extra Points.  Crystal Light Mocktails – 0 Points PlusPosted on August 12th, 2011I’m not always one to fill up on artificial sweeteners, but every now and then, I think it’s OK to indulge a bit. And these new Mocktail Mixes from Crystal Light are a great way to splurge! Instead of filling up on the high calorie cocktails that I love, I can crab one of these tasty little drinks for just 5 calories per serving, which is 0 Points Plus.  DIY Light Frappuccino Recipe – 2 Points +Posted on August 4th, 2011In about as much time as it takes to stand in line at Starbucks and order one of their Grande Light Frappuccinos, you can make one yourself at home and save about $4.00. Just try this Frozen Blended Cappuccino Recipe and enjoy the creamy, coffee flavored goodness that you know and love. Each DIY Frappuccino has just 2 Points +.  Watermelon Slush Recipe – 2 Points +Posted on May 25th, 2011Here’s another delicious, low calorie slush recipe that’ll keep you cool and satisfied this summer. Light and refreshing, this Watermelon Slush is not only amazingly yummy, it has just 2 Points + per serving, and is a much healthier snack option than a milkshake or even yogurt smoothie.  Diet Peach Wine Cooler Recipe – 0 Points +Posted on May 5th, 2011Another great addition to a Mother’s Day Brunch would be this easy and delicious Diet Peach Wine Cooler Recipe! Crisp, light and refreshing, each serving has 0 Points +! By reducing the amount of wine used and by using Welch’s Diet Peach Twist Juice instead of peach nectar, I was able to get the calorie count a lot lower, thus lowering the Points + value.  Frozen Mint Lemonade Recipe – 0 Points +Posted on April 18th, 2011It was a sunny and beautiful this weekend here in California, and the heat had me craving a cold, icy beverage. It was time to whip out my blender and get to work! One of my all time favorite frozen drink recipes ever is the Israeli Limonada that I was introduced to on one of my trips to Israel.
