Skinny cocktails

Summer is here and it's that time of the year that we consume a lot of fluids with the intention of staying hydrated or simply to enjoy a favorite cocktail. Even when we are not dieting we order refreshing drinks at restaurants and if you are like me, you probably run to the store to get all the ingredients to make your own cocktails at home. I personally like to follow low sugar or fat free recipes so that I can save my calories for my dessert. One way of making sugar free drinks is by replacing your flavored mixer for zilchmixers.com or the new Mio flavor liquid. They come in a variety of flavors and you can save yourself 500 calories (equivalent to one meal). If you like margaritas, zilch is the best one to use. This is just a way of lowering our empty calories that will turn into fat as soon as we sip them down hour throat. Anyone has any other suggestions for low calorie drinks?



Light beers are quite popular nowadays, but since I am not much of a beer person I looked for other ways of sipping skinny drinks

This drink is so delicious it barely taste like a low calorie drink.
We made it this weekend and it was delicious, it is NOT sugar free but it definitely has less calories then the regular mixers.



1 cup of Frozen pineapple

1 cup of Any moscato wine
