Skinny Frozen Strawberry Margaritas 

This version includes frozen unsweetened strawberries, tequila, triple sec, and lime juice. Simple delish ingredients that you can throw together so quick. 

When you order a frozen strawberry margarita in a restaurant it can have loads of extra sugar and sometimes pre-packaged margarita mix.

Calories???
This skinny strawberry margarita has approximately 167 calories and only 14 grams of sugar. The majority of the sugar is completely natural coming directly from the strawberries with a small amount from the triple sec. This recipe tastes great and you can indulge guilt free. 

A frozen strawberry margarita of the same size from any typical restaurant has about 215 calories and 34 grams of sugar!!!!! That’s a freaking lot of extra sugar. 

In case anyone was wondering Tequila labeled 100% agave is naturally gluten-free. So if you want your tequila to be gluten-free pick up some that’s 100% agave. If your not gluten-free, any brand of Tequila will work fine. 

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup frozen sliced strawberries (you can use whole, slices just blend a little easier)

  • 1 oz (2 Tbs) 100% agave blanco tequila

  • 1/2 oz (1 Tbs) triple sec

  • 1/2 oz (1 Tbs) lime juice

  • a little water for thinning, if necessary


Instructions: 

  1. Put everything into the blender, except for the water. Blend until smooth. A blender cup works perfectly for this if you're only making one serving. If it seems too thick to drink, blend in some water, 1/2 Tbs at a time until it's at the consistency you like.

  2. It is that easy. You can now pour and serve. Stay safe always and drink responsibly!!
