SUMMER FUN: Prescribed For Life ALL NATURAL Skinny Cal-O-Rita Mixers

Uncategorized No Responses »

Mar 10 2013

Introducing: Skinny Cal-O-Rita Sugar Free Natural Margarita Mix -N-Go Party Bottle available from Prescribed For Life.

With the Summer sun sizzling nothing is more refreshing than a cool blended drink. But your typical margarita has over 500 calories!!!! The majority of that is the sugary mixer. Other low cal options contain cheaper artificially sweetened mixes. Artificial sweeteners and preservatives. We all know artificial sweeteners (chemicals) are just as bad if not worse than sugar. Which is why I LOVE my Skinny Cal-O Rita Sugar Free Natural Margarita Mix!

I love the convenient shaker bottle- simply add tequila and water (or just water for a fun for all ages refresher) and you have a delicious and much healthier margarita than you can find anywhere! Powder mixes do NOT require preservatives and because they weigh less, it is cheaper to ship . Not only do you save money on delivery but, you can enjoy a healthy cocktail mix with NO Artificial Anything and without the funky aftertaste! Save money by buying bundles: mixer bottle, pouches, and single servings! I really enjoyed the taste and LOVE that the NO FUNKY after-taste and the all natural ingredients!

Not only does the Skinny Cal-O-Rita taste great and contain all natural ingredients they also add 1 gram of Pre-Biotic Fiber and 100% Vitamin C per drink- good for you yes, but it gets better: This helps reduce the effects of a hangover, minimizes dehydration, relieves stomach upset and is easier on the digestive tract. The fiber also helps slow alcohol absorption, which makes it more easily tolerated by diabetics. Also available on Prescribed for Life are other fantastic sugar free drink mixers , such as Mud Slide, Pina Colada, Daquiri, and more! Can NOT wait to try the 0 calorie Mud Slide!!!

You can save over 400 calories PER DRINK by swapping your regular margarita or daiquiri with a delicious sugar free mixers from Prescribed For Life! They also offer single serving packets that you can just toss in your purse to enjoy a guilt free cocktail at dinner or a night on the town!
