Low-fat frozen cocktails

July 1st, 2006

As an antidote to my Bushwacker recommendation (it may be a tasty drink, but it’s not exactly low-cal), check out Hungry Girl’s recipe for the guilt-free Piña Colada. After all, with all that sugar and creme de coconut, the typical Piña Colada can deliver as many as 500 calories and lord only knows how much fat; I’d imagine the Bushwacker is even worse. HG suggests using Bacardi Island Breeze Coconut rum instead of the creme de coconut, and I bet the same strategy would work for the Bushwacker. Here’s the recipe:

Hungry Girl’s 100-Calorie Pina Colada Freeze
1 1/2 oz. Bacardi Island Breeze Coconut
1 1/2 oz. Sugar Free Coconut Torani Syrup
1/4 cup Breyer’s Cal Smart Vanilla Ice Cream
1 Tbsp. crushed pineapple in its own juice
3/4 cup crushed ice
1 packet Splenda
Put all ingredients in a blender.  Blend on high speed for 30 seconds.
