This virgin mojito recipe makes a perfect drink for hot summer days. This drink is low calorie, refreshing, and healthy for your entire family<3 Of course, you could spike this up with alcohol so you could enjoy the skinny version of the regular one.
A glass of regular mojito sounds fine, but it contains an average of 242 calories and alcohol tends to cause bloating… This drink comes in handy when you just want the taste without the guilt and discomfort. Without adding alcohol, this drink is only 30 calories. Even if adding a shot of rum, it’s still 80 calories!
I also found an option for sweetener in case someone needs it. Monkfruit sweeteners are 0 calorie and 0 carbs. I personally like using Lakano Liquid Monkfruit Extract.
This skinny virgin mojito recipe is really simple, so there are a lot of rooms for customization. Add your favorite fruits, sweetener, or whatever you please:) Enjoy this cool summer drink with your entire family or make it a treat for the grown-ups.
