I'm not sure how Points are calculated, but if you're trying to cut
calories you're better off with the 2% milk than the regular
half-n-half. Regular H&H has 130 calories, 2% has about 60 per half cup,
like the fat free H&H. Leave the flour out and used puree'd broccoli
stems, and save another 100 calories. Not trying to be rude, just doing
the math.

160 calories equates to a handful of M&Ms. I'd rather have chocolate
than flour.
