Lean Libations

Cookin' lean is not the only way to make sure you are putting healthier nutrients into your body. Beverages, both with and without a little spike, also have sometimes a surprisingly high amount of calories and even fat. We don't always think about drinks sneaking in the calories, but they do! Of course, water is the best thing we can drink. But I'm sorry, I refuse to drink only water my entire life. Let's have a little fun here!

Here are some fabulous beverages to add a small shot of spirit to your menu. There is something here for everyone; whether you partake in adult beverages or not. You can always make tiny changes to fit your lifestyle. I will show you how!

CHEERS!

  4. Love this site! Thanks for posting slim versions. I love the Food Network, but often have to tailor recipes to cut down on fat, etc.
