I saw Swiss Miss Diet while shopping last weekend and after seeing it was only 25 calories a servings with no fat and 1 g of fiber (0 points!) I thought it was worth a try!
To be honest I wasn’t expecting much, nothing with only 25 calories can be that good. This low expectation created a pleasant surprise. I think I may have actually said aloud, “Humpf! Not bad!”
I was right, it’s not the best hot chocolate in the world but when you are married to a hot chocolate junkie and don’t want to waist 3-4 point to enjoy a cup with him after a long walk in the cold or shoveling snow this is a good option. I made it with water then added a splash of milk to cool it down. It reminded me of the hot cocoa you would get in one of those machines. You know with the cards on the cup. I never really minded the machine hot cocoa. I guess you can say I’m the opposite of a food snob! ;~)

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

Finally my first Farro idea! I have to say, I love this stuff! It's chewy and yummy and, well, fun! I tossed it with what I could find in my pantry and it made a wonderfully satisfying lunch. Filling but not heavy, tasty and quite nutrient dense. According to NutritionData.com this [...] -
I've seen it mentioned in a few of my clean eating and healthy cook books but honestly, I never even thought of Farro as an option for me. I refuse to shop at specialty stores and I try to use only common products that I can keep in stock and purchase from a typical grocery [...] -
I've never had a tuna melt. Is that weird? I guess that's what happens when you grow up not liking mayonnaise. I never ate tuna salad or egg salad or chicken salad. Honestly, they always kind of grossed me out. Then I realized.. hey.. why does tuna salad have [...] -
I have no idea where this idea came from. I was hungry. It was lunch. I had Brussels Sprouts. That was all the catalyst I needed.:) I decided to use a slice of real bacon to add flavor and little fat that would help sauté the sprouts. I'm trying [...] -
WOW was this good. I mean seriously good. It's not vegetarian so don't start throwing stones. I'm calling it a Garden Vegetable Burger because I use the new Laughing Cow Smooth Sensations Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese Spread. It was this recipe on Allrecipes.com that inspired [...] -
I drink water 99.9% of the time but every so often it just doesn't cut it. I want something else. Something more. Something slightly sweet. Today was one of those days. I decided to make a refreshing drink based on the famous Arnold Palmer, half lemonade and half iced [...] -
The other day I made a whole chicken on the grill in pieces. It was delicious! Just a little BBQ sauce and an open flame is all I need to make The Husband happy in the dinner department. I also picked up a few ears of corn from the grocery store. They aren't in season [...] -
Let me explain so you don't think I'm making a chili recipe and just put it on pizza. I'm calling this vegetarian Chili Pizza because chili is what inspired flavors. I think I told you. Little Bean is really into, well, BEANS! We go through a can about every 2 days. Yesterday [...] -
I've confessed my inability to follow recipes here on GreenLiteBites many, many times. I don't know why it's so hard for me. I can barely follow some of my own and I wrote the darn things! I think most of my problem stems from not having all the ingredients listed and, [...] -
Leftover brown rice and leftover sauce meet in this quick lunch idea inspired by my favorite food of all time: Pizza. I swear I can turn anything into a pizza concoction. Have you seen all my pizza ideas? I've used everything from pumpkin to zucchini, polenta to wontons. Nothing is off [...] -
This isn't a recipe just an idea I had to share. I can't believe how good it was! I've never had grilled pineapple. Can you believe it? I just never really had the desire to grill it before. When you love something raw sometimes it doesn't occur to you to cook it. [...] -
I whipped this up for lunch on a whim today because, well, I have a baby who's obsessed with three things… Cheese, Beans, and Avocado. No, really. Look... It's my go to meal for him so I find myself with beans and avocado readily available. [...] -
You know that tradition 7 Layer Mexican Dip? The one with the cream cheese, guacamole, salsa, lettuce, cheese, green onion and olives? Yea. That's the one. Well I had a craving for it the other day. Well, not exactly for it as I can never make anything the way it's suppose [...] -
If you go through the archives of GreenLiteBites I have about 5 total beef recipes. Five. Compare that to the 80+ I have tagged with chicken/turkey there's a clear winner in the meat department on my blog and in my home. I don't have a beef with beef (omg The Husband [...] -
I'm a kitchen sink smoothie maker. Whatever I have on hand goes in the blender and viola! A quick breakfast or a healthy snack. Last year I posted an "Elastic Approach" to how I make smoothies but I still like to share specific combinations that worked really well. This was one [...] -
The other night it was just the kids and I home for dinner and I decided to make what I wanted to make no holds barred. Without The Husband home it's much easier for some reason. Hmmm wonder why? Ok, not here to husband bash.. really.. I'm not! I'm here [...] -
*sigh* I was really hoping to share an awesome turkey burger idea. I had grand plans for my leftover ground turkey. The results was alright but they could have been so much better. I added diced pineapple, red pepper, green pepper, oats and soy sauce to the meat and formed 2 patties. In hindsight I [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday having no idea if it would work. To my surprise it did AND the husband actually said he liked it... UNSOLICITED! Here's the story. I had only 4 tilapia fillets defrosted for dinner. I knew it wasn't going to be enough for us [...] -
This is a slight reboot of a recipe I posted last year simply called Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili. Staying true to my use-what-I-have-on-hand roots I, well, used what I had on hand and made a similar dish with a spicy twist. Topping the result with avocado added a cool creaminess that [...] -
Did you hear? The Laughing Cow recently launched Smooth Sensations a line of 5 cream cheese spreads. There's Classic Cream, Classic Cream Light, Strawberries & Cream, Garden Vegetable and my favorite… Cinnamon. It's a sweet wedge of creamy goodness! Today I decided to use my new favorite flavor [...] -
Confession time, I recorded a 30 minute video making this with both kids (partally) 2 nights ago. I miss videos. I really do but they seem so much more difficult with 2 children. I'm also having technical difficulties with my video recording and audio syncing making it VERY time consuming to edit. [...] -
A couple of years ago I shared a modified version of Sloppy Joe's I made for a party. Everyone loved it but I've been wanting to try to make something similar for the family on a smaller scale and without the pre-made canned Manwich sauce. I don't particularly have any issues [...] -
Yesterday I was dreaming about a salad. Not just any salad, but a chickpea filled, cucumber, and red onion salad with a fun, tangy dressing. Unfortunately, I had no cucumber or red onion. Well, that's a lie. I had a half of cucumber but it was a mushy mess and [...] -
Dinner meals are getting harder and harder for me to share lately. I've gone back to just whipping things up without really measuring anything (this meal was going to be one of those until I realized I still had enough light to take some photos.) I've also instituted a few brainless meal nights [...] -
Three years ago I posted a video called "Makin' Hard Boiled Eggs" where I shared my system for, well... making hard boiled eggs. Genius name, I know. I'm smart like that. Anyway, since then I've gotten tons of feedback and comments thanking me but all the information is locked in a long winded 10 minute [...]

Hi, Roni!
The diet swiss miss is okay…but next time, try the Nestle Carb Select – without the marshmallows — It’s also zero points (or pretty darn close!) and is WAY better :-)
Happy New Year! You continue to be a daily source of inspiration for a fellow maintainer :-)
I love the diet Swiss Miss. I do add 1 packet of splenda to mine though cause I like it really sweet.
I actually like the taste of the diet better than the regular lol. =0 Call me crazy, wish it was like that with all foods.
I like to take it and add it to a cup of coffee – it makes you feel like you’re having something “bad” at Starbucks. If you really want to be naughty add a bit of cool-whip!
I really like the Swiss Miss Diet Hot Cocoa. I too, like mine a little sweeter and I add one of the Splenda Flavor Blends (French Vanilla) which adds not only sweetness but a little richness to the flavor……yum.
I love that cocoa! I add sugar free Toriani syrup to mine — the white chocolate is quite tasty.
I also vote for the Nestle Carb Select. I got to have me some marshmallows in my cocoa, even if they are tiny and artificial!
I always look at that stuff at the store and consider it. Then I look at the ingredient list and am grossed out.
Which is just really ironic since I drink diet Coke like crazy. :P So I just make cocoa with nonfat milk and cocoa powder and a little sugar. Not low in points though.
Hey Roni! Thanks so much for putting so much effort into your blog. I really enjoy it! I just wanted to let you know that you have inspired me to create my own and I would love some feedback. The link is ryetoast.wordpress.com . I am also doing Weight Watchers to lose a few pounds as I am a figure skater. Thanks!
Hey Roni! I vote with Melanie..the Nestle hot cocoa is WAAAAY better…even if you just get the Fat Free Nestle Hot Coco, it is good…..its a staple in my house, especially in the witner time :) HUGS
Ditto on the nestle carb select waaay better IMO.

MMMmmmm, YES, my hubby discovered this and I LOVE IT….I add a quarter cup of mini marshmallows for 1 pt…when they get all melty…..it’s PERFECT!!! And filling b/c it’s warm!
I bought some of this last week and am just trying it tonight. It was great. haven’t tried the nestle but will look for that next time.
Great Values (walmart brand) reduced calorie kind is only 1 pt. and pretty darn good :)
I don’t buy Nestle products, but I do love the Swiss Miss Sensible Sweets kind. It’s the same calories/fat/fiber as the one you mentioned, and it tastes great considering it’s zero points!
