Creamy Coconut Lime Mint Frozen Margarita
Creamy Coconut Lime Mint Frozen Margarita - A light and refreshing tropical escape - Made with healthy fats and protein - great as a blood sugar stabilizer. Mocktail version is great as a snack option!
If you have been with me long enough, you know tequila-based cocktails are my favorite! Hello, chili lime mango smoothie, the perfect Paloma, and spicy watermelon margarita. But I think this one may be my new favorite!
Why, do you ask? Maybe it’s because coconut is my favorite fruit. Or that the song, Coconut - Harry Nilsson showed me that limes and coconuts should be married. Or that this cocktail literally takes me on a virtual tropical vacation.
And yes, those things are true, but what I love about this recipe is that it’s great as a mocktail. Very similar to the adrenal cocktail, if you add a scoop of collagen to the recipe, you will have an even ratio of fat to protein to carb, making this a great blood sugar stabilizer!
Even if you are still enjoying this as a libation, coconuts have a stable, saturated fatty acid that helps to stabilize blood sugar levels as well as to decrease the rate of alcohol absorption. But that doesn’t mean you need to overconsume!
Cocktails can be great if consumed in a balanced way so cheers and drink responsibly!
