I told you guys that my husband and I have been having a competition to see who can be the healthiest person ever, right? Surprisingly I am pretty good at this game for most of the day. I work out first thing in the morning, take the dogs/kids for a run, eat well all day… and then find myself in the Taco Bell drive-thru at 10 pm.
That really happened the other night. And then I went home and parked myself in front of Dance Moms while I stuffed my face with nachos bellgrande and guzzled (not diet) Mountain Dew.
I’m trying to change my ways though so I wanted to make a skinny drink for Thirsty Thursday this week. Nicole and I decided on doing frozen drinks this week and I’ve been on a real coconut kick so you know I had to make a pina colada. This drink comes to 148 calories which is half the calories that you’d get in one of the frozen pouch drinks or a restaurant pina colada. Which means you can have 2 of them! Duh.
(I think this was just sweet enough, but if you need a little added sweetness, you can add a few drops of a liquid, no-calorie sweetener to the blender.)
Nicole made strawberry daiquiris! One of my all-time favorites!

And what is is about drhinking mountain dew from taco bell… BF does it all the time.
Mountain Dew from Taco Bell is 100 times better than regular Mountain Dew!
This is serendipity! I’ve had pina coladas on the brain all day! I definitely love a skinny version and can’t wait to give these a whirl. Yum!
Oh my gosh, Taco Bell and mountain dew – seriously two of my biggest guilty pleasures ever!! Pina coladas too now that you mention it. I can’t wait to try your skinny version!
Now I want Taco Bell, thanks a lot. ;) This looks fantastic! Can’t wait to try it.
