Looking for a healthy way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo AND save some cash? Here are a few ideas & recipes:

{Healthy} Margarita

• 1.5 oz of Tequila
• 1 tbsp of agave nectar (OR Crystal Light powdered mix: Raspberry Ice)
• 5 oz of water
• 1 oz lime juice

Combine all ingredients, mix well and serve over ice. Or, for a frozen one, place all ingredients (dissolve Crystal Light in water first) in a blender with 1 cup crushed ice, and blend on high until well mixed. Optional: Garnish with a slice of lime. Serves 1 (cal: 105, fat: 0g, sodium: 15mg, carbs: 3g, protein:0) (Source: Hungry Girl). If you prefer beer, then go ahead and crack open a Corona Light – don’t forget the lime!
