I’m trying to make lemonade out of lemons.  Hubby and I had two cruises booked in 2020; NCL cancelled one, we cancelled the other (but it won’t sail anyway)...so during our first cruise dates I decided to at least enjoy the UBP at home, and looking on the light side, I modified the recipes to make them low calorie.  I’ll share mine, and will invite others to share theirs!  Perhaps we can all pretend to cruise while we are waiting for the real thing...

 

Post your recipes!  Mine “lemonade from lemons” is I can enjoy the UBP and not gain as much weight!

 

Skinny Margarita (makes 4)

6 oz Tequila

1/3 cup lime juice

1.5 tsp orange extract (replaces triple sec, available relatively cheaply from Amazon)

8 packets Truvia, or 3 tbsp sugar substitute

5 cups ice cubes (for frozen margarita)

salt for rim, lime wedges

 

Either shake or blend....

 

Diet mango meltdown

 

1.25 oz rum

1 tsp sugar-free Amaretto syrup 

2 cups frozen mango

1 cup frozen strawberry

(can reduce frozen fruit and add ice cubes to lower calories)

Artificial sweetener to taste

 

Blend all above.  REALLY good!!!  You may want to tweak to your own taste.
