Cocktails can be diet-friendly too!!! This sugar-free margarita will save you 285 calories!!
6 oz. Sprite Zero
1 1/2 oz. tequila
Crystal Light lemonade mix
splash of fresh lime juice
ice, crushed or cubes
Blend all ingredients together. Serve with a slice of lime and a touch of salt on the rim of the glass.
It tastes just like the real thing but has just 115 calories and 0 grams of sugar!!!!! YUMMY!!! blankstare said...

I love this recipe because it includes Sprite Zero. I have found a lot of uses for Sprite Zero too. I like smoothies in the mornings because fruit helps me get going. I love mango but I don't like it creamy so mixing it with yogurt or milk for a smoothie wasn't working for me. Trader Joe's Frozen Mango chunks, a splash of orange juice and half of a Sprite Zero is one of the best tasting smoothies for me when I want to leave out the dairy. I can't wait to try this margarita this Friday night. Thank you Chalene, I just cracked open the Fat Blaster DVD after practicing Learn and Burn and I love it. I'm thinking about trying to 2 day fast formula. I really wanted to post a comment just to let people that might be wondering know the tapes are really effective even if you have a lot to lose. Sometimes I have to do one workout for 10 minutes and then rest, but I get through it and I'm seeing results. TY

Yummy is right!! What a guilt free way to start the weekened!!
 
Hi Chalene. Hope you're still blogging. I love your workouts. I'm still new at it, but I'm looking and feeling much better. Thanks for all you do. - Jennifer
 
used Sierra Mist Free instead of Sprite Zero. I must admit the it is quite yummy! Granted, it isn't the real thing, but close enought.
 
Halleluyah! I love margaritas and know I can't slurp 'em like I use to anymore. I can't wait to try this version. With 2 children, 3 step children, a step ex-wife and an ex-husband and a full time career, a girl's gotta have a drink! After her work out of course...:) Thanks Chalene...
 
I love this idea! AND, I can't WAIT for new Turbo Jam videos:0)
I have all of them; and do them over and over and over again despite my collection of about a hundred workout videos. They rock, thanks!!!
 
wow. good idea. I am going to try this!

Well Charlene, I just have to say
"Thank you Thank you!!" I love your program and I always look for more. You are a great inspritation to me and you have given more confidence then ever.
Over the last 5-6 years and still counting, I have lost over 60pounds or more.about 2 1/2 years ago I came across your workout over the TV and I thought this would be a great program to start-So when to me in the mail, I could not wait.
At this rate I have lost count as to few many pounds I have lost. I go by the way my clothes fit now. When I go back to relaxing on my workouts, I always turn back to yours because it's sooo much fun and you always push me and when you say "come on baby doll- you can do it! push your self!" Well I do just that! I always feel great after a workout and almost want to keep going!... Crazy isn't it! You are so right-when you are half way through the workout, I always get my second wind.
I hope you read this and I love what you are doing and keep it coming!! Don't stop!
Cheers Tara-Mae Kreft :)
PS- My husband loves my new look!

I wonder how that would taste with barcadi? Not too fond of Tequila.
Love your site girl. You rock.

 
I can't wait to try the cocktail. I work in a bar so it is hard to find a drink that is very low in calories with no sugar. I also love your workout program. I heard about it from a friend who lost 45 pounds. I tried the tapes & loved them and have lost 25 pounds. I recently got my husband hooked and he has lost 25 pounds also. The great part is that our two kids try to workout with us & I think i'm giving them a great start on staying fit even at a young age. Thank you for great tapes, great food ideas, and constant encouragment

Thank you SO much for this recipe!! Of course, I am a big fan of yours! I have been instructing fitness classes for 18 years and LOVE every minute of it! I started loving it even more (which I didn't think possible) after being introduced to Turbo Jam and then Turbo Kick. : ) I just sent in my cert tape for Turbo Kick and want to go for the GOLD soon!! : )

I own a small studio in a small town in Minnesota, called "The FitZone". I introduced Turbo them about 5 months ago... and EVERYONE loves it!! Thank you!!

Thank you for this recipe as I struggle with something that tastes good but won't be a ton of calories!! I can't wait to try this recipe tonight!! Thank you!!

You've been a blessing in my life, thank you for what you do for many people out there! People think I ROCK with my fitness classes, I tell them just wait until you see Chalene Johnson!!!

Happy New Year Chalene and thank you again!
