Healthy Margaritaville

July 4th weekend is almost here!  My drink of choice is a glass of wine but this weekend as we all head to the pool, beach and BBQ's a Margarita sounds much more refreshing, festive and fun!  Being healthy doesn't mean giving up summer fun cocktails . . . . it just means going with some healthy alternatives that are just as good if not better than your standard Margarita which by the way on average is about 350 calories!!  These are all 21 Day Fix approved and about 100 calories or less because living a healthy life doesn't mean you have to feel deprived!!!  It's all about moderation, balance and staying within your container count! :)

SKINNY MARGARITA #1

• 2-3 fresh lime wedges
• 2-3 fresh orange wedges
• 2 tbsp. fresh lime juice
• ½ tsp. raw honey
• 1 cup ice
• 1 oz. 100% agave tequila
• 1 splash sweet and sour mix

I added salt and skipped the sweet and sour. Counts as 1 yellow 💛 

SKINNY MARGARITA #2

1 ounce Tequila
3 ounces Fresca soda
juice form 1/4 lime
kosher salt for garnish  (optional)

Dip the top of your glass in bowl of water and than into plate of salt. You may need to turn it on the plate to get a good coating.  Add crushed ice to glass and add tequila, Fresca and fresh lime juice.  Stir and enjoy.  (70 calories, 1 yellow 💛)
