Lean back, relax, and imagine that instead of in being stuck in quarantine, you're in Hawaii with a tropical beverage, paper umbrella and all. Since we're all stuck at home for the time being, let's bring the tropics to us: skinny piña colada cocktail hour!
You know how people say "close your eyes and find your happy place?" As of late, mine is the quintessential white sand beach in Hawaii. Since I've been imaging said happy place a lot these days, I figured a skinny piña colada cocktail was a fantastic way to make it a smidge more realistic. Also, it's almost summer so let's celebrate!
Why "skinny" you ask? Well, as we're still hanging out in self isolation and since my physical therapy clinics are closed due to covid-19, my exercise options are somewhat limited. But happy hour is still a frequent occurrence 🤣. Ergo, a lower calorie version of the classic piña colada is most welcome!
