The holiday season is full of parties, and parties are full of various types of grog. Sugary fruit punches laced with rum and eggnog that should really just be called a saturated-fat bomb. One cup of eggnog [1] contains over 11 g. of saturated fat, as well as 343 calories.
Here are two suggestions to try as alternative to those standard Winter party drinks.
- Spritz it: Simply add seltzer water to your glass of wine. This works with any color of wine — red, white, or rosé. Not only does it cut your caloric intake in half, but it also helps you avoid the dreaded hangover.
- Go bubbly: Champagne is actually rather low in calories. One serving of this sparkling wine contains 91 calories [2]. To make the drink more festive, add a cranberry, strawberry, or raspberry for color.
