Holiday Herbal Tea

My friend Deanna at the big W told me all about these yummy herbal teas.  I just had to try some.  So far, these are the ones I have been drinking.  This is a nice treat to curb my cravings and they are 0 points, so even better.  I use Splenda in mine to make them sweet.

 The gingerbread spice is a strong tea and a bit too strong for me, but my pappy loves this one.

The sugar cookie is sweet, mild and very yummy.

But, my favorite is this one: Candy Cane!  Mild, minty and sweet.  Ahhh... so warm on a cold day.  I even have the hubby drinking this stuff.

Diet Root Bear Float...

Over and over and over I hear people talking about a diet root bear float, but have never tried one because I HATE diet root beer.  I actually dislike most diet drinks unless it is diet cola of some sort.

At my last Weight Watchers meeting someone once again talked about the diet root beer float.  The next day I had a party at my house.  The person that brought drinks brought a mixture of drinks that included diet root beer.  With permission I put one in my fridge for later use.  Well today I made my first diet root beer float.

 
My ingredients, Diet (barf) root beer and whipped cream (yummy).  I know some use Cool Whip, but this is all I had on hand.

I froze my root beer for an hour before I started to get some ice going on.  I do this with my Coke Zero all the time for a copycat Slurpee.

Added my cream.  The cream is 0 PointsPlus per serving, but I used 2 servings so it ended up being 1 PointPlus.

Blend it up.  I used my little hand blender, but you can use anything you want.  I am thinking a Magic Bullet would come in handy for things like this.

And here you have it a Diet Root beer Float.  Some people love them and eat them everyday.  I tried it and I didn't like it.  (it's the Diet Root Beer, blahh).  

Can I have the Tab?

I haven't had Tab for about 20 years until yesterday.  I drank like 4 of these last night.  Thank you to my Big Brother Lizard for bringing them.  MMMMMM

To all my Weight Watcher's friends...
Don't forget the 5K is tonight at 8:00 PM!  Wahoo!

I found another drink!

I bought these for the little people and guess what?  Only 1 Weight Watcher's Point Plus!  Move over kids, Mommy's having one too!

Have a happy 4th of July!

Cooling off with snow cones!!

The little people at my house love snow cones!

We make them all the time!

For a wedding gift 9 years ago we received this awesome snow cone maker (thanks Kris and Niki).  We use it all the time!

I make homemade snow cone syrup for the hubby and little people.  

2 cups of sugar, 1 pack of Koolaid and 1 cup of water.  Bring to a boil, cool and serve.

That homemade syrup has a ton of sugar and points.  What am I to do?  Eat just snow?

It would be 0 points!  Hmmmmm let me think about it, ummm NO!

I will have my snow with this sugar free 0 Weight Watchers Points Plus cherry syrup.  I found this at Kmart.

It is really refreshing and yummy!

Don't have a snow cone maker?  I have noticed most of our local snow cone shacks have sugar free snow cones for just a little bit more money.

Go and grab you one today and cool off!

Too Cool? Warm up with this!

Ok so the other day I talked about cooling down, but I remembered a way to warm up.  I live in Utah and the weather can change very quickly.  So what if you need some warming up too?  Try this...

Sugar Free Apple Cider!

It is good and it is free!  By free, I mean 0 Weight Watchers Points Plus!

MMMM!  I got this brand at Smiths, but any brand of the sugar-free apple cider will be 0 points.  It is a good low calorie drink!  Enjoy!

What are you drinking?

I have a rule.  I have had it for a couple of years now.  Shrinks rule:  Never drink calories.  I just don't do it, I CAN'T do it.  I would rather eat then drink.  So what is good to drink besides plane old water?  This is what I have been drinking and all for 0 Weight Watchers Points Plus.

You have got to try these!  They have all different flavors and all the low calorie drinks I have tried so far have been great.  The Smart Girl had one today and she loved it too.  This particular one has 20 calories and is 0 Weight Watchers Points Plus, but be very careful some of them have way more calories, so look for the low calorie ones so you don't drink the points.

Propel Zero is great too.  My favorite one is this black cherry flavor.  This flavored water has 0 calories so it is another 0 point plus way to drink.

A friend from my Weight Watchers meeting told us all about this stuff.  These Mio liquid drops can be found in the georgery stores in the juice/Kool-Aid isle.  This is also 0 Weight Watchers Points Plus.  You just drip some drops in your water and you have flavor.  I bought it and tried it, but personally didn't like it.  It tasted a lot like Crystal Lite and I am not a fan of that either.

This is my weakness!  Cherry Coke Zero!  I can just hear the can cracking open and the fizz fizzing.  Ahhh the burn, I love it!  Can't live without it.

This is the Ultimate Drink!  I would swim through a flood and walk barefoot in the snow just to get to the place that sells these drinks.  Do you recognise the cup?  This will have to be an entire post on its own.  A giveaway for the local people in my area has already been approved.  Stay tuned!
