The holiday season plays havoc with my waistline. I want to indulge in those tempting holiday treats I only enjoy once a year. On the other hand, I don’t want to spend months of the New Year dieting. This year I created an Amazing Creamy Mocha Smoothie to drink instead of some of the fattening drinks I was offered. Plus, it only takes a few minutes to make.
Ingredients:
8 ounces boiling water
1 heaping tablespoon unsweetened instant mocha coffee mix
1/2 cup skim milk
4 packets Sweet’N Low
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup crushed ice
Directions:
Combine boiling water and coffee, stir until well mixed. Add milk, Sweet ‘N Low and vanilla to coffee. Pour the coffee mixture into a blender and add the cup of crushed ice. Blend on smoothie setting until mixture is creamy and smooth. Pour into glasses. Makes 2 twelve ounce servings.
To find inspiration on creating lower calorie holiday drinks, like eggnog, spiced cider or lower calorie cocktails, visit the Sweet N’ Low Facebook page and check out their collection of recipes. Then enjoy the season without the guilt!
I am creating this recipe in conjunction with Sweet ‘N Low and the Daily Buzz Tastemaker Program. A product sample and compensation was received.

This sounds so yummy! Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Sounds delicious Pam. I grew up on Sweet n Low and still use it in my iced tea and other drinks. Thanks for the recipe!
That looks really good. I love things like that and I am always looking for low cal/ low sugar recipes
I love flavored coffee drinks. I used to order them way to often at Starbucks. Now I’ve really cut down, however I do use cream in my coffee all the time.
Nummy! Looks great, will have to try this!
Oh, yumm! I am always on the look out for ways to indulge, especially during the holidays, but in kinder ways. Thanks for sharing
