New favorite drink!!

I went out the other night & had FOUR margaritas!! After I sobered up, I realized that I'm pretty sure I DRANK half a day's calories away (frozen strawberry margaritas typically run 3-400 calories each!). Man did i feel BADDDDD but there was nothing I could do about it except attempt to find a more calorie friendly version. I knew I had to do this on my own because trust me, if u ask a bartender if they know any low-cal drink recipes, they'll look at you like you have 6 eyeballs.

So I went to my trusty friend google & came across the Hungry girl "Freezy-Fresa Strawberry margarita". Trust me...it's gooooddddd!! Most times things that are low cal/low fat/low sugar are pretty disgusting but this is seriously comparable to restaurant margaritas.

The recipe is as follows:

Ingredients:
3/4 cup Sprite Zero (or any diet lemon-lime soda)

1 shot (1.5 oz.) tequila

1 serving (half a packet or
1/8th of a tub) sugar-free strawberry powdered drink mix (any variety, like Crystal Light Strawberry-Kiwi or Energy Wild Strawberry) <===I used the Energy wild strawberry for mine)

4 frozen unsweetened strawberries

2 tbsp. lime juice

1 cup crushed ice or 5 - 8 ice cubes

Optional Garnish: lime wedge



Directions:
~Place all ingredients in a blender. Blend until uniform and slushy.
~Pour into a nice glass and, if you like, garnish with a wedge of lime.

Enjoy!!! I know i will (oh & if ur under 21, preggo, or just not in the mood to drink, Use 1 whole cup of sprite as opposed to 3/4cup. Now you have a frozen drink for about 30 calories!)
