Happy Hour!!!

Bootcampers, RunMonkeys, and Personal Training clients...

It's time for Happy Hour! 

With the weather warming up (FINALLY!), I think it will be fun to get together and have a drink to reward ourselves for all of our hard work.  That being said, we don't want to let it all go down the drain.  So, here are a few low calorie drink options:

For beer... always choose something light, especially for happy hour - those cheaper prices usually lead to more drinking...

• Becks Premier Light - 64 Cals
• Bud Light - 110 Cals
• Corona Light - 99 Cals
• Coors Light - 102 Cals
• Heineken Premium Light - 99 Cals
• Michelob Ultra - 96 Cals
• Miller Light - 96 Cals
• Miller Chill - 110 Cals

Cocktails...

• Bloody Mary - 150 Cals
• Champagne - 85 Cals
• Diet Tonic Drinks - less than 100 Cals
• Gin and Tonic - 103 Cals
• Mojito - 160 Cals
• Sour Apple Martini - 160 Cals

I LOVE margaritas.  However, the calorie count is a little high.  I run and workout a lot so I treat myself to a fishbowl size margarita on occasion, but if you're watching your waistline, it's not something you want to do on a regular basis.  Here are two simple and tasty recipes to maintain that bikini body and keep your summer taste buds satisfied:


Basic Margarita

1. Squeeze one lemon and one lime into a blender
2. Add one cup of water and fill the blender with ice
3. Add two shots of tequila
4. Sweeten with splenda (optional)

 Strawberry Margarita

1. Put frozen strawberries (6 per drink) in blender
2. Add one shot of tequila
3. Add ice and 1/2 cup of water 

Blend, stir, and serve!

Cheers!
