In honor of my recent excursion to Virginia for my first Alumni weekend festivities, I thought I would send some healthy alcoholic beverage choices your way! While it's always safe to do the typical liquor + diet soda option, here are a few other fun choices that won't spoil your hard workouts.
For all you beer drinker's out there, here are some safe bets:
- Becks Premium Beer- 64 Calories
- Budweiser Select- 55 Cal
- Miller Genuine Draft light-64 Cal
Although you may end up on the floor after throwing back a few of these, liquor is probably the best choice for my health and weight conscious readers. Champagne is a sure fire hit with only 85 calories! Gin & Tonics are still pretty low at 103 calories and a rum & diet coke comes in at a measily 110. Looks like your pants might fit on Monday after all.
Heading for the tropics? No problem. Typically, Pina Colada's are jam packed with sugar and calories (especially the pre-made versions.) However, this Pina Colada Cooler offers the same great taste with only 165 calories - so you can sip this and still strut your stuff on the beach.
- 1 1/2 ounces coconut flavored rum
- 3 ounces pineapple juice
- 4 ounces sparkling water
- 1 tablespoon coco lopez cream of coconut lite (sold in the drink mixer section of your grocer)
Pour over ice & stir. Enjoy!
