Happy National Sangria Day! Though we're puzzled as to why this summery drink is celebrated in December, we're not going to argue with having a glass?as long as we keep the calories in check.
While sangria often contains 300 calories and 25 grams of sugar per serving, it?s easy to give this pitcher cocktail a healthy makeover, as these tasty versions prove.
Louiseville Sangria
This recipe gets a bit of smoky heat from metabolism-boosting chipotle peppers and clocks in at just 185 calories.
Boxed Wine Sangria
Go the eco- and budget-friendly route with this recipe using wine from Tetra Paks, which have half the carbon footprint of wine bottles. And at 98 calories, it's also waistline-friendly.
Bottled Eppa Superfruit Sangria
There's no need to slice and chop if you're feeling lazy. Try Eppa?s certified-organic Superfruit Sangria at just $12 a bottle and 120 calories a glass.
Green Sangria
Skip traditional red and the slightly less common white and opt for a refreshing green mix of apple, lime, kiwi, cucumber, and mint for 115 calories. Bonus: It won?t stain your teeth no matter how much you have.
