Okay, so I admit it, I'm a HUGE fan of "Real Housewives of NYC". I never miss an episode. Bethenny Frankel is one of the women featured on the program and she also happens to be a healthy food chef. On a recent episode she talked about her version of a low calorie, low sugar clean margarita, which she calls a "Skinnygirl Margarita". I made it this weekend and wasn't too bad. Most margaritas have about 800 calories and hers is only about 200 so you can definitely work it into a clean eating lifestyle.

Keep in mind that alcohol is considered a "cheat" so if you do decide to indulge in this margarita, have only one no more than once a week.

The Skinnygirl Margarita

2 oz. clear premium tequila

Tiny splash of Cointreau

Juice of 4 fresh lime wedges

Splash of Grand Marnier

Combine all ingredients in a shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously and pour into ice filled glass. Makes 1 serving.

I am working hard to be an avid "clean eater", and I thought drinking
alcohol of any kind was being a really true clean eater-drinker.

You are absolutely right. Clean eating does indeed mean no alcohol. However,
even the strictest die hard clean eater does, on occasion, have a
"cheat" meal or an alcoholic beverage. Allowing a cheat every now and
then helps to keep you on track so you don't feel deprived. I allow myself one
cheat meal per week. The key is to keep your cheats small. If you do decide to
indulge keep it to one alcoholic beverage per week or one cheat meal per week.
