CHEW THE RIGHT THING
BITE IT!
HG's Freezy-Fresa Strawberry Margarita
Berry Nice!
Happy Cinco de Mayo! We've whipped up a whole new FREEZE-TASTIC
margarita recipe just for you, so we hope you're ready to party. Humans,
start your blenders...
Ingredients:
3/4 cup Sprite Zero (or any diet lemon-lime soda)
One shot (1.5 oz.) tequila
One serving (half a packet or 1/8th of a tub) sugar-free strawberry
powdered drink mix (any variety, like Crystal Light Strawberry-Kiwi or
Energy Wild Strawberry)
4 frozen unsweetened strawberries
2 tbsp. lime juice
1 cup crushed ice or 5 - 8 ice cubes
Optional Garnish: lime wedge
Directions:
Place all ingredients in a blender. Blend until uniform and slushy.
Pour into a nice glass and, if you like, garnish with a wedge of lime.
Drink up!

HG Alternative! If you're under 21 (or just dance funny when you're tipsy),
try this virgin version -- simply swap the tequila for an extra 1/4 cup of the
soda. That liquor-less slushfest clocks in with only around 28 calories and a
PointsPlus® value of 0*.
FIGHT IT!
Frozen Strawberry Margarita, Average
Mess-a-rita!
Most frozen strawberry margaritas, while delicious, contain a silly amount of
calories. Full of sugary fruit, various unidentifiable sweet mixes, and (of
course!) tequila, there's no telling what you're getting yourself into when you
order one at some random bar or Mexican restaurant. The stats below are
for a regular-sized margarita, but many of the ginormous ones you find at
chain restaurants have WAY more calories than that. Ay, caramba! Here's an
idea... Avoid ordering fruity frozen margaritas when you're out on the town,
and make a deal with yourself that you'll only sip these crazy cocktail
slushies when you make 'em with your very own hands. Sound reasonable?
Good. To sweeten the deal, next time you whip out your blender
for "Margarita Night," throw together a bowl of Holy Moly Guacamole and
some Cheesy Beefy Quesadillas for a full-on Mexican fiesta. Party at YOUR
place... Woohoo!
