Toast 2015 with a light, refreshing mimosa!

Cheers to your health! Thanks WCIU for having me share some of my favorite lighted up holiday cocktails on the You and Me in the Morning Show. Everyone on the set enjoyed sipping Red Orange Cosmos, Blue Moon Mocktails, and Raspberry-Acai Mimosas. The key to making these spirits light – Trop50 juices. All of them have half the sugar and calories compared to other orange juices. Added bonus: no artificial ingredients as they’re sweetened with stevia. You’ll find all of these recipes on my app Time to Eat Healthy. To help whet your appetite, here’s how you make a lightened up mimosa using Trop50 Raspberry Acai juice. This recipe calls for champagne, but sparkling wines like Cava and Prosecco are de-lish. Or you can skip the bubbly, and use sparkling water.
