Living Long-Weekend Lean

'MAY' YOUR LONG WEEKEND BE LEAN
 
LIVING LEAN DURING QUARANTINE

Just because you’re living a healthy lifestyle doesn’t mean you need to compromise a good time. So many diets restrict alcohol or the occasional treat, making it hard to enjoy yourself especially with the long weekend upon us. While I’m not encouraging you to fall off your rocker this weekend with late night bites and bottomless sangrias, it is important to understand that you CAN enjoy yourself with a bit of creativity and "Michelle O'Brien Hacks". I feature a few of my favorite long weekend recipes that your waistline will thank you for! 

Skinny Lime Refresher
 
1.5oz Absolut Lime Vodka
Juice of 1/2 a lime
Handful of crushed ice
Handful of muddled mint

In a short glass add ice, vodka, lime juice and muddled mint. Pour over sparkling water and stir.
