Tastier winter sips without boosting fat and calories? You bet!

 
We have a confession to make: When it comes to winter sips, we’re all about the seasonal flavors and rich flavor. Bring on the peppermint mochas and hot chocolate—and none of this water and a packet of sugary instant cocoa stuff, either. We’re talking milky, chocolate-y goodness. To borrow a word from Rachael Ray, yum-o.

 

Naturally, when we heard we could make our favorite cuppa even tastier—without adding a dollop of whipped cream or another scoop of chocolate shavings—we jumped at the chance. And all we had to do was switch up our cup o choice. Who knew?

 

Researchers are now reporting that hot chocolate tastes better when serves in cream- or orange-colored cups. People who participated in the study were given the same hot chocolate in four cups of different colors: white, cream, red and orange. And they said that the drink served in the cream and orange cups tasted and smelled wayyy better. That’s good enough for us!

wait so u use the same coco but in a different cup???? and doing this wont get u gaining calories and fat? that seems way to good to be true

Hey girlie,

Putting the same drink in a different cup won't make the nutrition any more healthy or make fat go away, but I think what the study is suggesting is that if you use a lowfat or lowcal drink in a certain color of cup it will still taste awesome even though it's better for you.

I read online that if you put oranges in some water after you peel it, you get the vitamin and everything you need. I tried it and it tastes super duper good!!!

Did I have a healthy breakfast today? I had two whole grain bagels
With some all natural peanut butter and sliced apples

 

Hey girlie, two bagels starts to get high in carbs and calories. Try one bagel with some extra fruit instead. Otherwise, great breakfast!

I'm going over to see my sis saturday
She might be Ordering Chinese food
I was wondering if the shrimp egg foo young
With the sauce on the side would be a better
Option then the sweet and sour chicken also what
Would be a better appetizer then egg rolls or crab
Rangoon

 

hey girl! well, each restaurant is different. the best way to know is to call the chinese food place and ask. or, see if they have a low-fat or low-cal section on the menu. but at the end of the day, it's just one meal, so don't stress if it's not the healthiest. you're there to hang with your sister, not fret over eating a few too many calories!
