Hungry Girl Today: 10.28.09



ASK HUNGRY GIRL





Yo, Hungry G!



I am LOVING the seasonal pumpkin shakes popping up now at places like

Jack in the Box. However, around 800 calories and a POINTS® value of 19*

for a small shake is nutso. I can't indulge without feeling majorly guilty. Have

any ideas on how to lighten this one up? I'd love to play around with some

ingredients and make my own.



Shake Achin'









Dear Shake Achin',



HGers KNOW that one of our favorite things to do is lighten up shakes,

blended coffee drinks, and smoothies. I've been doing this for decades and I

LOVE IT. The key is to replace a whole bunch of fattening stuff with not-so-

fattening stuff. Your drinks will be DELICIOUS if you use the right items. For

a pumpkin shake, I'd use a combo of light vanilla soymilk or Unsweetened

Vanilla Almond Breeze (about 1/2 - 3/4 cup), Splenda (2 packets or so), a

few tablespoons of canned pure pumpkin, maybe a little vanilla extract (just

a drop or 2), some cinnamon and/or pumpkin pie spice, and lots of ice

(crushed is best). If you want it super-thick and decadent, you can add a few

tablespoons of light vanilla ice cream. (Try to use one of the slow-churned or

double-churned kinds.) Then I'd top it all off with Fat Free Reddi-wip. That

shake would have about 70 - 120 calories (POINTS® value 2 - 3*),

depending on exactly what you use. Play around with it! Other ingredients to

think about including are sugar-free vanilla syrup (Torani makes the best!)

and fat-free or sugar-free Coffee-mate flavored powders (use about a

teaspoon, and dissolve it in a bit of warm water first). Sugar-free vanilla

pudding (a little instant pudding mix or some pre-made pudding) is another

fun item to add. So shake things up!!! And let me know how it turns out...











HG,



Do you have a good guilt-free recipe for deviled eggs? Around the holidays,

it's soooo hard to resist them. Help me, Hungry Girl!



Beggin' for Eggs







Dear Beggin',



Oooh, a lot of people have trouble avoiding those this time of year. And

deviled eggs are pretty fattening -- four of them add up to about 260 calories

and 20 grams of fat! However, since you BEGGED, I'm going to give you

(and everyone else reading this) an early holiday gift by sharing the HG

recipe for Devilish Eggs -- even though it's an exclusive recipe from 200

Under 200 (the latest HG cookbook). You can have four of these amazingly

delicious things for just 79 calories and less than 2 grams of fat (POINTS®

value 2*). AMAZING!!! They're made with cauliflower (orange cauliflower, if

you can find it), and they taste a LOT like regular deviled eggs, only without

all the fat and calories. Click here for the official HG recipe, and then click

here to get a copy of 200 Under 200 for yourself or some human you love.

(It makes a great holiday present!) Thanks for your email -- hope you enjoy

the recipe!
