Green Goodness Margarita

Who says a Margarita can't be good for you? This one is super easy, and packed full of Antioxidants A and C using Bolthouse Farms Green Goodness 100% Fruit Smoothie as a base. Pictured below is the smoothie bottle showing the list of 20 nutritious ingredients, such as spinach, broccoli, green tea, wheat grass, blue green algae, and garlic. I know what you're thinking, not sounding very appetizing yet, but trust me on this one, combined with apples, pineapple, mango, bananas, and kiwi, it's "Green Goodness".

Berry Patriotic Jello Shots for Adults

I was reminiscing, trying to remember when I had my last jello shot.  I know I had one, well maybe a few, oh who am I kidding, a lot, in college.  I can't recall having them any other time.  Seeing that I graduated from college back in 1999, I would say I am over due for a fun jello shot. Jello shots are great when entertaining. It's a small cocktail and dessert, all in one easy to make, and clean up package.  How about celebrating this coming 4th of July with one Berry Patriotic Jello Shot.  I made mine in  red  clear Solo cups, looking pretty, and being easy to serve.  I kept mine on the lighter side using some sugar free jello and light whipped topping.
Each jello shot has a little over 1 ounce of flavored vodka in it, making it smaller then a typical shot, which is equal to 1 1/2 ounces. Please enjoy responsibly

Light Pineapple Upside Down Cake Cocktail

Last week I had fun making a S'more cocktail.  This week I have a new fun cocktail to share. Again I tried to  keep it on the lighter side.  I used low fat milk, and 100% no sugar added pineapple juice.   By putting my liquid ingredients into my ice cream maker, I came up with a perfect refreshing Summer time cocktail. Here is what you need:

Light S'more Summer Cocktail

I have seen a few S'more cocktail recipes around blog land and even one on Pinterest.  I wanted to try my hand at one.  Living on a budget, I wanted to keep the cost down.  I also wanted to keep it as low cal and fat as possible.  With Summer right around the corner, I decided I wanted my S'more cocktail to be cold and  refreshing.  This  cocktail recipe is super easy and delicious. My husband who is not a cocktail drinker even loved it. I hope you will enjoy it this Summer safely with family and friends.

Light Valentine Martini
