Did you know that a typical cocktail can have up to 300 calories? 😱 That’s more than a slice of pizza or a donut! 🍕🍩 If you’re trying to lose weight, drinking alcohol can sabotage your efforts and make you feel bloated and sluggish. 😞
But don’t worry, you don’t have to give up on having fun and enjoying a refreshing drink. 🙌 You can make your own low calorie mocktails at home with simple ingredients and no added sugar. 🍹 They’re delicious, easy to make and good for your health. 😍
Let’s get mixing! 🍹
First up, we have the delightful Cucumber Mint Fizz. To make this, you’ll need:
- 1 small cucumber, sliced 🥒
- A handful of fresh mint leaves 🍃
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice 🍋
- 1 cup club soda (or sparkling water) 💦
Start by muddling the cucumber slices and mint leaves in the bottom of a glass. I like to use a wooden spoon, but you can use a muddler if you have one. Then, add the lime juice and give it a good stir. Finally, top it off with club soda and enjoy! This one’s got a refreshing and crisp taste that’s perfect for a hot day. 😎
Next, we have the tantalizing Berry-licious Mocktail. For this one, you’ll need:
- 1/2 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen) 🍓
- 1 tbsp honey 🍯
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut water 🥥
- A handful of ice ❄️
Start by blending the berries and honey in a blender until smooth. Then, pour the mixture into a glass, and top with the coconut water. Give it a good stir and add ice to keep it nice and cold. This fruity concoction is bursting with flavors and won’t add any unnecessary calories to your day. 🌟
Last but not least, we have the zesty Grapefruit Ginger Spritzer. For this mocktail, you’ll need:
- 1/2 grapefruit, juiced 🍊
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated 🌶️
- 1 tbsp honey 🍯
- 1 cup club soda 💦
In a glass, combine the grapefruit juice, ginger, and honey. Give it a good stir until the honey is dissolved. Then, top it off with club soda and give it another quick stir. This one’s got a zesty kick that’ll wake up your taste buds and leave you feeling refreshed. 💥
