<br><br>
<br><br>ASK HUNGRY GIRL
<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>Dear Hungry Girl,
<br><br>
<br><br>I LOVE the Candy Cane Chill Blizzard at Dairy Queen, but I heard that thing 
<br><br>has 800 calories for a medium-sized one. Can this be true? And if so, what 
<br><br>do you have in the way of a swap for me, HG?
<br><br>
<br><br>Blizzard Babe

<br><br>
<br><br>
<br><br>Dear Blizzard Babe,
<br><br>
<br><br>Thanks for the Q. For me, it's SO hard to believe that a medium-sized cup of 
<br><br>cold, creamy peppermint goop is so CRAZY-HIGH in stats. But it is. A 
<br><br>medium cup of the Blizzard in question has 800 calories and 22 grams of fat! 
<br><br>Why? Because it's LOADED with chocolate and sugar, and the portion size is 
<br><br>pretty out of control -- even for a medium one. As far as a swap, I've come 
<br><br>up with good one! It's thick and delicious and saves you TONS of fat and 
<br><br>calories. Check it out...
<br><br>
