Low-fat Holiday Treats with Torani Syrups

As a member of the SheSpeaks program, I had the opportunity to participate in the "Torani Holiday Cheers" program and try out Torani Syrups.  These syrups come in a variety of flavors including some classic holiday treat favorites.   The syrups can be used in your coffee for a low-cal sweet.  The flavors I received were the Sugar-Free Salted Caramel and the Gingerbread and both were delicious. 


I used my Torani syrups to flavor my coffee and I felt they were a great substitute for some of the tempting holiday desserts.  I'm trying to not overindulge in sweets this holiday season and these syrups arrived just in time.  The Gingerbread only has 100 calories for 2 Tbsp and the Sugar-Free Salted Caramel has 0 calories so they are both a nice alternative to the over the top sugary desserts that are all around us this time of year.  The flavors of the syrup really enhanced my coffee.  The Gingerbread syrup has the yummy mix of molasses and cinnamon and tasted just like I had a Gingerbread cookie in my coffee.   The Sugar-Free Salted Caramel reminded me of a caramel toffee type of brittle.  You can make all sorts of drinks with the syrups.  I chose to add the syrups straight to my coffee.  Below are my super simple drinks:

Gingerbread Cookie Coffee

1 cup strong brewed coffee
2 Tbsp Torani Gingerbread Syrup

Mix together coffee and syrup and you have the taste of a freshly made gingerbread cookie.

Salted Caramel Coffee 

1 cup strong brewed coffee
2 1/2 Tbsp Torani Sugar Free Salted Caramel

You can change up the amount of syrup you add to adjust it to your tastes, but I found that the above amounts give you just the right level of flavor.
