<br><br>Hungry Girl Today: 09.26.08 
<br><br>
<br><br>It's National Pancake Day. (IHOP honors the holiday in February. Sorry, 
<br><br>IHOP -- you're outnumbered on this one.) This is exciting, people. 'Cuz we're 
<br><br>helping you celebrate. Get ready for a guilt-free FLAPJACK FRENZY!   
<br><br> 
<br><br> 
<br><br>Mix It Up!
<br><br>
<br><br>Boxed and ready to rock your socks... 
<br><br>
<br><br>Fiber One Complete Pancake Mix - When they say complete, they aren't 
<br><br>kidding! All you have to do is add water... THAT'S IT! (Okay you do have to 
<br><br>cook 'em in a pan, too.) A half-cup of the mix will make about three 
<br><br>pancakes, which will amount to 180 calories, 3.5g fat, 36g carbs, 5g fiber, 
<br><br>and 6g protein (POINTS&reg; value 3*). We knew we could count on you, Fiber 
<br><br>One. This mix is brand-new but SO worth tracking down. If it's not on the 
<br><br>shelves at your local market yet, DEMAND IT. 
<br><br>
<br><br>Aunt Jemima Whole Wheat Blend Pancake & Waffle Mix - Here we have 
<br><br>super-low stats and a pretty impressive amount of fiber -- 1/4 cup of the mix 
<br><br>makes about three 4-inch pancakes and contains 120 calories, 0.5g fat, 26g 
<br><br>carbs, 3g fiber, and 4g protein (POINTS&reg; value 2*). But those numbers are 
<br><br>for the mix ALONE, and the directions call for adding an egg, oil, and milk. 
<br><br>We say you IGNORE those directions and check out our tips & tricks below. 
<br><br>
<br><br>Hungry Jack Just Add Water Extra Light & Fluffy Pancake & Waffle Mix - It's 
<br><br>another just-add-water boxed mix... YAY! A 1/3-cup serving of the mix has 
<br><br>150 calories, 2g fat, 30g carbs, <1g fiber, and 4g protein (POINTS&reg; value 
<br><br>3*), and it churns out three 4-inch pancakes. We support our hungry pal and 
<br><br>his p-cake mix! Pssst, Jack... ADD SOME FIBER!  
<br><br> 
<br><br> 
<br><br> 
<br><br>Freezer-Aisle Flapjacks!
<br><br>
<br><br>Just heat 'n eat! 
<br><br>
<br><br>Aunt Jemima Low Fat Buttermilk Pancakes - If you are super-lazy or in a 
<br><br>rush, check out these nuke-able, frozen, low-fat flapjacks. Three of them 
<br><br>contain 200 calories, 3g fat, 39g carbs, 1g fiber, and 5g protein (POINTS&reg; 
<br><br>value 4*). Not bad for a pancake b-fast that's ready in minutes and requires 
<br><br>no cleaning of a mixing bowl, pan, and spatula! 
<br><br>
<br><br>Dr. Praeger's Potato, Spinach, Broccoli, and Sweet Potato Pancakes - Don't 
<br><br>panic. These pancake flavors are NOT mixed together to form one wacky 
<br><br>flavor combo -- they are four separate varieties! And yes, we know these 
<br><br>are NOT breakfast pancakes like the others in this email, but we like them, 
<br><br>and they ARE called pancakes. Each one contains 80 - 100 calories, 2 - 4g 
<br><br>fat, 9 - 13g carbs, 2 - 3g fiber, and 2g protein (POINTS&reg; value 1 - 2*). But 
<br><br>like we say with all Dr. P's products, blot the excess oil (because there WILL 
<br><br>be excess oil!).   
<br><br>  
<br><br> 
<br><br> 
<br><br>Just for Kicks...
<br><br>
<br><br>We couldn't NOT include these... 
<br><br>
<br><br>Organic Batter Blaster Original Pancake & Waffle Batter - It may look like a 
<br><br>can of Reddi-wip, but there's pancake batter inside! Just squirt some in a 
<br><br>pan, and let the pancaking ensue. A quarter-cup of this stuff makes about 
<br><br>three 4-inch pancakes and has 112 calories, 0.5g fat, 23g carbs, 2g fiber, 
<br><br>and 3g protein (POINTS&reg; value 2*). Our pancakes came out a little thin and 
<br><br>flat, but this item is too much fun to pass up. 
<br><br>
<br><br>Pancake Puffs Pan Set - We dare you to watch the infomercial for this thing 
<br><br>and not want to own one. It makes golf-ball-shaped pancakes that you can 
<br><br>stuff full of anything from fruity filling (mmm!) to pepperoni and cheese 
<br><br>(make ours turkey pepp and fat-free mozzarella!). BTW, you can get a set 
<br><br>on Amazon for a great price!  
<br><br> 
<br><br>

<br><br>Tips & Tricks for a Pancake Fix
<br><br>
<br><br>HG's got your back... 
<br><br>
<br><br>* Eggs, oil, full-fat milk... who needs 'em? Get creative with your boxed 
<br><br>mixes. Experiment with fat-free liquid egg substitute, Unsweetened Vanilla 
<br><br>Almond Breeze or light vanilla soymilk, fat-free cottage cheese, canned pure 
<br><br>pumpkin, and no-sugar-added applesauce. If that sounds intimidating, just 
<br><br>follow our recipes below! 
<br><br>
<br><br>* Bulk up your pancakes by stuffing 'em full of fruit. Try berries, chopped 
<br><br>apples, mashed banana, and more! Strawberry Banana Flapjacks, anyone? 
<br><br>
<br><br>* When it comes to condiments, keep it guilt-free -- or your pancakes will get 
<br><br>weighed down and so will you! Use nonstick spray for cooking and spray 
<br><br>butter for topping. Go for sugar-free pancake syrup -- "lite" ones still have 
<br><br>around 100 calories per 1/4 cup, but sugar-free ones top out at 35. And, if 
<br><br>you crave a mountain of whipped topping, make it Fat Free Reddi-wip! 
<br><br>
<br><br>* Watch out for restaurant pancakes. Even the most basic ones are made 
<br><br>with eggs and oil. Factor in that pat of butter squished between each cake, 
<br><br>the syrup you pour on top, plus the inevitable sides they're served with, and 
<br><br>you're looking at serious fat and calorie counts. Case in point? The simple 
<br><br>pancake breakfast at Mimi's Caf&eacute; -- four pancakes, two eggs, and bacon or 
<br><br>sausage -- contains an alarming 1,252 calories and 57g fat (POINTS&reg; value 
<br><br>29*). GULP.   
<br><br>

<br><br>
<br><br>Blueberry Apple Pancake Shake-Up - An HG book exclusive! Packed with 
<br><br>fruit, fiber, and FUN... 
<br><br>
<br><br>Oatrageous Chocolate Chip Pancakes - That's right. Chocolate for breakfast. 
<br><br>Do you REALLY need any convincing? 
<br><br>
<br><br>Very Blueberry Pancakes - So good they may not need syrup... but we use it 
<br><br>anyway! 
<br><br>
<br><br>Creamy Banana Pumpkin Pie Pancakes - Yes, these are as good as they 
<br><br>sound. You could try memorizing this book recipe real fast at the bookstore... 
<br><br>but we recommend you play it safe and purchase the book instead!
