I am not a skinny girl but I’ll certainly have a drink with one.

The truth is, I have a bit of a girl crush on a skinny girl..Skinnygirl Margarita that is. I mean, what’s not to love about a really great tasting, all natural, 100 calorie adult beverage from time to time?

Plus, the cocktail is created by real housewife, Bethenny Frankel, a natural food chef who is even funnier than I think I am.

Plus, plus I’m a sucker for great packaging that matches the decor in the Fitness & Spice test kitchen.

However, I do have a suggestion or two for Bethenny so I’m hoping she’ll call me to discuss my ideas for Fitnessgirl Martini’s, Spicegirl Rum, and Long & Leangirl Ice Tea.

But until then…

Now I really must go finish my Skinnygirl Margarita and call for a Full-bodied Cabernet.

You know how Bethenny Frankel created the Skinny Margarita? Well, I am happy to report, I have created the Skinny Piña Colada. Sort of.

Unlike Bethenny’s margarita, my Piña Colada is alcohol-free, and protein-full, which is great if you…

• Are under 21
• Are getting ready for bathing suit season
• Are pregnant like Bethenny (Congrats, by the way!)
• Have really good taste!

I won’t keep you much longer because you’ll be wanting to mix up a batch of these refreshing, guilt-free…

Piña Colada Protein Popsicles

• 1 cup Vanilla Protein Freeze
• 1 cup So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk
• 1/2 cup Chopped Pineapple
• Shredded Coconut to taste (totally optional)

Blend all ingredients together in an electronic mixer. You can also stir in a few pieces of pineapple for a chunkier treat if you’d like. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and freeze for 1-2 hours. Enjoy! Makes 4 popsicles at 127 cals, 2 grams fat, 9 grams carbs, 17 grams protein per popsicle.

Now I really must go to yoga and get caught in the rain.

What’s your game plan for Superbowl Sunday?

• Do you plan on eating your “favre”orite junk food?
• Do you shuffle your way through the chips and salsa?
  
• Do you devour everything in your “Fridge”?
• Do you go out of your “el”way to overstock your Super Bowl?

Why not plan on making some healthy substitutions? Try being a Saint and subbing Chobani Greek Yogurt in place of mayo, heavy cream, or sour cream in your favorite recipes.
