3 Low-Cal Happy Hour Options

(from Prevention)

3 options for a healthy happy hour


Nutrition Advice


Happy hour should be happy, right? It can be if you choose foods and drinks that don't load on the calories and guilt. Marisa Moore, RD, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, offers three smarter picks.

Margarita
Skip the sugary mixers (and slash calories!) by asking your bartender to make a simpler margarita with tequila, fresh lemon and lime juice, and a drizzle of agave nectar for sweetness.

Guacamole
Avocado contains a hefty dose of monounsaturated fat, which can lower "bad" LDL cholesterol, plus potassium, skin-protecting vitamin E, and lutein for healthy eyes.

Salsa
Salsa is a great source of lycopene, an antioxidant that has been shown to lower the risk of some cancers.

  1. A healthy breakfast should contain both protein and fiber. People who start the day with a protein-rich breakfast consume 200 fewer calories a day than those who eat a carb-heavy breakfast and fiber helps you feel full longer.
