OMG-Drinks

I'm off on Fridays all summer and i'm watching the view and theyre talking about drinks and their calorie values

they just said one margarita is 800 calories
and 48 grams of sugar equilvalent to a couple of donuts

pina colada has 900 cal.110 g of sugar equivalent to a whole plate of fried chicken

long island iced tea is 1048 cal equal to a plate of onion rings

Re: OMG-Drinks

I just saw that too, but I kind of figured they were bad for you - usually anything that tastes good is! I was surprised to hear though that the mojito is a good alternative- I'll have to try!

Re: OMG-Drinks

I always order diet soda when i order a drink. I always order captian and diet and my sister thinks its ridiculous! But I save sooo many calories - a regular soda alone had 190 calories and diet soda has zero - so why not order the diet!

Re: OMG-Drinks

A great 100 calorie magarita recipe from Hungry Girl:

HG's Magical 100-Calorie Margarita

Ingredients:
6 oz. Sierra Mist Free (or Sprite Zero, or your other fave no-cal lemon-lime soda)
*1 shot of tequila (1.5 oz.)
1 packet **Crystal Light on the Go Lemonade (you may use 1/2 of the packet if you don't want your drink as intensely sweet)
2 tbsp. lime juice from concentrate (or fresh-squeezed lime juice)

Directions:
Mix all ingredients together. Pour over 1 cup of crushed ice. Enjoy.

*You can also make your margarita alcohol-free. This recipe, without tequila, contains just 10 calories (5 calories if you use only half of the Crystal Light packet).

**1 tsp. Crystal Light Lemonade drink mix may be substituted.

I am sticking to my diet coke and vanilla vodka too!!!
