Cocktails: Skinny Pina Colada

So, I was wandering around Target after my failed Lilly for Target shopping trip. Sob, sob! I was thinking of my dinner and felt like something tropical.  Something that would have gone along with a bright pink Lilly shift...

When I saw Bai 5 drinks, I was escastic.  I had first had them at a Yelp event last year and loved them.  The Molokai Coconut was delicious-coconuty but not too sweet, only 5 calories, and full of antioxidants.  It even has 100% of Vitamin C.  The Bai 5 drinks have no artificial colors or preservatives, are kosher, non-GMO, vegan, soy free, and BPA-free.  I worry about drinking most low-calorie drinks, but this one is all-natural. 

The coconut is actually made from coffeefruit, the same fruit that coffee comes from.  It doesn't taste like coffee but does have caffeine.  

After seeing the coconut drink, I was inspired to make a tropical cocktail.  I saw there was a pineapple drink and decided to combine them.  It's 5 o'clock somewhere.

Skinny Pina Colada

1/2 bottle of bai5 Molokai Coconut

2 oz. bai5 Peru Pineapple

1 oz. Rum

Combine the Molokai Coconut, Peru Pineapple, and rum.  Garnish with pineapple, if desired. 

The result- a delicious tropical cocktail that is healthy for us.  This will be a go-to drink this summer for me. 

The best part-the calorie count! This drink comes in at just 75 calories (69 calories for one ounce of rum, 5 calories for the Molokai Coconut, and 1 calorie for the Peru Pineapple.)

Tip:

You can find Bai 5 drinks at Whole Foods and Targets everywhere.  You can also find them at Amazon.com.
