5 SKINNY DRINKS FOR THIS SUMMER
Holy moly. Tomorrow it will be 31 degrees. Thursday the same. Cold, cozy drinks belong to that. But if you are watching your weight for a moment , cocktails are, well, not wise.,A Cosmopolitan is relatively okay in terms of calories (although, 200…) but seriously, folks, don’t dare to have two Piña Coladas (460 calories), because then you can forget that flat stomach. Coconut milk is incredibly fatty.
Which summer drinks can you sip with a clear conscience (in moderation, right, tip from Jet)? I’ll tell you.
1. Vodka-soda
One of the most responsible choices in terms of mixed drinks. Soda water = no calories. One measure of vodka is about 60 calories and if you mix that with soda water, you get a skinny cocktail. Add plenty of lime and drink a maximum of two.
2. Prosecco with raspberries
If you choose an alcoholic treat, a little prosecco is always a good idea. It looks festive, contains only 77 calories, and you can fluff up the glass a bit by adding a raspberry. Cava and champagne also have relatively few calories (66). So skip that sweet stuff and go for bubbles.
3. Homemade green iced tea
Feeling really good? Then just skip the alcohol and switch to homemade green iced tea. Perfect for this week’s heatwave. Complicated? Not at all. You put one liter of boiled water in a jug, let it sit for ten minutes, and then hang in two bags of green tea. Let it steep and at the end add a splash of lemon, lime juice, and some honey to taste. Barely any calories, but also very tasty for the picnic basket.
4. Sherry
The sherry diet doesn’t come from nowhere. If you love very dry wine, then sherry contains the least calories. 55 per glass. You could drink four glasses of sherry instead of one Cosmopolitan.
5. Sparkling Pear
You immediately have a cool cocktail that is still quite lean. Puree half a pear until it’s nice and liquid and pour it into a champagne glass. Pour two shots of sparkling wine over it, stir well, and finally garnish with those pear slices. Also delicious with apricot, by the way.
P.S.: if you want to feel completely happy & healthy, then these summer juices for Jet’s juicer are also a fantastic idea to get through these scorching days slim. Good luck!
