The Skinniest Margarita

1 Comment

Is there anything better than a slightly sweet, perfectly salty, refreshing margarita? I think not. Instead of premade margarita mixes that guarantee TONS of sugar (and a headache) I’ve perfected the super light, but still delicious, margarita. Cheers!

  • 1 can lemon Spindrift sparkling water
  • 1 shot (1-2 ounces) of tequila (my favorite is Casamigos)
  • 3/4 shot lime juice (I like Santa Cruz organic)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
  • 1 lime

To start, coat your glass with salt. Sprinkle a teaspoon of sea salt on a small plate or saucer, slide a lime wedge around the rim of your glass, and spin the rim around in the salted plate. Fill about 1/3 of your glass with ice and add tequila, sparkling water, lime juice, and another lime wedge. If you love that salty goodness like me, add any leftover salt right into your glass and mix. For a spicy version, top with or muddle a few slices of jalapeño pepper. Cheers to a low-sugar, low carb, low hangover marg!

Happy National Kale Day!

image(9)Today is the day. Wednesday, October 2nd officially marks the celebration of…KALE! Yes, kale is everywhere. Kale is trendy. Kale is crunchy. Kale is the king of superfoods. If you haven’t jumped on the kale train, you just may reconsider once you’ve tried the classic green juice’s indulgent, crunchy, yummy-in-my-tummy friend, kale chips!

Yummy (in my tummy) Kale Chips: Preheat oven to 325 degrees and cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Cut stems off one head of kale, wash and dry. Cut into pieces and spread out on cookie sheet. Massage kale with coconut oil (no more than a tablespoon total.) Sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bake for about 20 minutes or until crisps. Let cool and serve as chips. So crispy, so light, so healthy…SO good!
