Skinny Margaritas Two Ways

May 5, 2015 By [email protected] Leave a Comment

Frozen Skinny MargaritaHappy Cinco De Mayo!!!

Today is the perfect excuse to over indulge on ridiculously yummy Mexican food, and drink way too many margaritas. I will admit, I enjoy a tasty beverage from time to time, but I try not to drink too many of my calories. With my wedding coming up (that white dress is always on my mind!) I am extra conscious about what I put in my body.

Ever heard of the “Skinny Margarita”? Of course you have. Lots of restaurants boast this healthier option. While the “skinny” version is usually the best choice, it still costs a pretty penny (at least they do here in NYC!) So how do you save on calories and cash? The answer: MAKE IT YOURSELF!

Now, I am not a huge alcohol drinker. If I drink when I go out, it’s a big deal (my friends all know this!) When I do drink, I prefer to drink tequila. A good quality tequila (look for one that says 100% agave) is actually one of the best choices when it comes to liquor. The sugars in tequila are low. They are simple sugars that break down in your body easily without a blood sugar spike. The other great thing about tequila is that it is not grain based so it is perfect for people who are gluten free, or on a paleo diet.

Does this mean that drinking is GOOD for you? NO. Can you make a smarter choice and drink in MODERATION? YES.

Are you more of an “On the Rocks” fan?

I’ve got ya covered!!!

I love this because it’s light and refreshing. I also love that all of the flavors come from fresh squeezed lemon, lime, and a kick of ginger!  Add some stevia and soda water, and you’ve got yourself a healthier take on a traditionally sugar/calorie heavy cocktail!
