For those of us who love to party
or go out for drinks with friends, going on a diet can seem like a damper on fun.
When watching your calorie intake and food choices more carefully, you’ll probably
realize that the calories in the number of beers and mixed drinks you’d
normally have on a night out are equivalent to the calories in a very large meal.
While an average beer contains about 150 calories and a mixed drink, for
example, a vodka-cranberry contains about 170 calories, going out to party on a
diet seems impossible. However, there are a number of low calorie-drinks out
there that you can enjoy without feeling guilty.
This
Friday, my pick for the drink of the week is a Strawberry Vodka Soda. This
drink contains just eighty calories and is easy to make.
Important: Do not confuse club soda with tonic water! These
two drinks look and taste similar, but tonic water contains the amount of sugar
and calories equivalent to a soda like Sprite or Pepsi. Club soda contains zero
calories.
Ingredients:
1 shot strawberry flavored vodka
1 ½ cups club soda
3 whole fresh strawberries
1 slice of lime
Put some ice cubes in your cup and add one shot of
strawberry vodka, then one and a half cups of club soda. Slice up your
strawberries and add them into the drink. Stir it up. Finally add a slice of
lime and enjoy!
