Un-boxing summer fun! What until you see what this simple box can do!

I bet I know what you are thinking 'But Butterfly, Cocktails = Empty Calories which is not good", am I right? How about if I told you there is a way to still enjoy a refreshing summer cocktail (or mocktail if alcohol/spirits is not your thing) and still keep that sexy summer bikini body you trained for all winter! or at least not look like you are auditioning for the Trailer Choir's 'Rockin' the Beer Gut' video! (super funny by the way!)

Keeping it cool doesn't mean you have to avoid a fun and social time with friends, in fact you may even be the hit of the summer fiesta (party) with these stay cool/stay slim recipes!

Try out these easy recipes and still stick to your favorite Slim-Fast Diet:

Slim-Fast Berry Sexy Vanilla Sunrise Recipe (WITH alcohol version)

I will post all these recipes on a Pinterest Board on our Pinterest Page, it will be called #SlimFastVeranoSexy, and you will be able to see all these recipe cards full sized for easy printing! (Sorry my blog template shrinks them so much!). You can press on them to see them full sized also, then just hit the back arrow to come back here and see the rest!

Slim-Fast Berry Sexy Vanilla Sunrise Mocktail Recipe (WITHOUT alcohol version)

If alcohol/spirits are not for you, then try the refreshing mocktail version. You know that with Slim-Fast Shakes you are getting not only great taste, but 10 grams of protein, 5 grams of fiber and 4 hours of hunger control, making it easy to stick to your plan and achieve your weight loss goals. But obvs with or without alcohol, everything in moderation, OK Butterfly?

Slim-Fast Sassy Strawberry Colada Cocktail Recipe (this is the WITH alcohol version)

As you can probably tell by now, the 'daisy' border is for the recipes using alcohol, and the 'roses' border is for the same recipe without alcohol! I'm a Piña Colada lover so this one definitely went over well with me and my friends!

Slim-Fast Sassy Strawberry Colada Mocktail Recipe (WITHOUT alcohol version)

Butterfly I don't know about you, but I love to mix things up, I like to host weekly Wii parties, nothing formal, just friends and family, we love to play dance games, and these cocktails and mocktails both dovetail perfectly with our fitness games and dance fun!

Slim-Fast Cinful Iced Latte Cocktail Recipe (WITH alcohol version)

This Cinful Iced Latte is equally good without the dark rum, but if you like cocktails like Irish Coffee, this Cinful Iced Latte will definitely be right up your alley! I for one love Mudslides and Brown Cows, so these shakes definitely work in those recipes as well (although what doesn't taste better with Kahlua right?) If you like these you can check out more SlimFast cocktail/mocktail recipes and keep your summer slim and sexy by visiting here: http://wow.slim-fast.com/cocktailrecipes.pdf

I made a Slim-Fast Mudslide! All the great taste, less calories, and  vitamins and minerals too, what's NOT to love?

My Take:

These recipes are definitely helping me to mix things up, and they have gone over well at the weekly Wii party (now I will admit after working up a sweat we sometimes end things with ordering pizzas, but at least we start off right!).

Crystal Light Mocktails - Light Up Your Summer! And win Prizes too!

Did you know that there are only 51 days left! That's right Mocktail Season is ending soon! But there is still time to get in on the fun!

As you guys know I've lost 26 pounds so far, and with summer always being a time where I'm on the go, it's super easy to cheat. And let's face it, at the parks, beaches and pools, there is usually nothing but a proliferation of fried or otherwise bad for you foods!

When I'm super thirsty, nothing beats plain water, although it does sometimes get boring! And alcohol is basically empty calories (albeit fun empty calories), but alcohol is the last thing you want on a hot, sunny day, it just makes you more hot!

That's where Crystal Light comes in, their new limited edition Mocktails are set to take your summer by storm! Call it a cooler, colada, spritzer, blitz, julep or non-tini, the “mocktail,” a non-alcoholic cocktail bursting with flavor is shaking things up!

They come in three delicious low calorie flavors: Mojito, Margarita and Appletini.

My Take:

I've been making small changes to my lifestyle all year, changes that are sustainable, that have helped me NOT feel deprived and have yielded tremendous results for me. I never want to have to say 'I can't have that, I'm on a diet'. Instead with daily portion control, increased activity and excercise, I use moderation to maintain the weight loss to date and continue to improve my lifestyle. Crystal Light Mocktails are a great way to make water more fun so I'll stay hydrated especially important in summer where I tend to increase my fluids intake due to being out in the heat for longer periods of time. I really enjoy the Mocktails and will be adding them to my arsenal of tools to help sustain the lifestyle changes I've made so far to stay healthy and get in better shape! I  hope you'll join me and take the fizz over flavor challenge too!
