Cold-Weather Belly Warmers

Few things are better than a warm drink on a frosty day. Beat the winter chill with one of these toasty treats:

Simmer cranberry-apple juice with cinnamon, cloves, allspice and an orange peel for about 20 minutes. Strain, then stir in fat-free milk powder and vanilla extract. Heat all the way through.

Add anise seeds, ground cinnamon and ground cloves to ground coffee. Prepare hot coffee using the spiced ground coffee. Lighten with low-fat milk.

Scoop praline or chocolate-swirl low-fat frozen yogurt into a mug. Pour hot cocoa or coffee over the top. Stir with a cinnamon stick.

You can mix up frothy winter treats of your own; just remember to use low-calorie ingredients that pack a flavorful punch.
