I’ll admit, margaritas are my favorite. I love how versatile they are, and I have a blast experimenting with them in my kitchen. I’d love to know your favorite concoctions, too!
This looks amazing! I have never met a margarita I didn’t like :-)
How many calories? containers? any recipes that work with 21 day fix? Looks delicious!
Hey Tiffany,
This has way too much sugar to be a 21 Day Fix recipe. I have a ton of other 21 Day Fix recipes, though, including a couple of margaritas. For my coconut margarita, you can actually swap the coconut Bai5 with any other flavor for a super yummy low calories treat swap for the 21 Day Fix. https://mycrazygoodlife.com/100-calorie-coconut-margarita-recipe/ :)
