The other day I went to my favorite health food store, the East End Coop. I found some beautiful turmeric root and thought I’d give it a try. Then I remembered this Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice tea that I love because it’s very spicy and warming. It just happened to be a cold and miserable day and so with my turmeric root in hand and Bengal Spice on my mind, I made this spicy turmeric & ginger drink. It’s creamy, spicy and full of healthy ingredients. It was the perfect drink to warm me up and quite filling. As well as all that it was only 1.4g net carbs.

My hubby and I went to New Orleans once before we were married. We were only there for a few days but boy did we have fun. It’s a beautiful city but what I remember the most were the drinks. We stopped to have a drink before dinner and I decided to try one their specialties …. the Hurricane. It was fruity and strong, oh so strong, but you didn’t know it because it was so tasty. Well since Mardi Gras is almost upon us, I thought I’d try to recreate the hurricane drink and make low carb gelatin shots too.

Low Carb Holiday Raspberry Mimosa

December 11, 2017 by Denise Leave a Comment

This low carb holiday raspberry mimosa is the perfect drink to sip on Christmas morning or New Year’s eve. Lightly sweet and easy to make, you will want to drink them all year round.

Recently I learned that wine and champagne are relatively low in carbs. I was excited because up until now I have only been drinking tequila and vodka. I thought wine was a no no but dry wine is only about 2g of carbs per glass and champagne is only 1g. So I’ve been drinking champagne more regularly and decide to make this low carb holiday raspberry mimosa. I picture me drinking it Christmas morning whilst the young ones tear away at their presents. Because it’s low carb, I can even have two but any more than that and there will be no Christmas dinner. 😉

I’ll be honest. I didn’t use to like Christmas very much. It was always a little too much of everything. But that all changed when I had Max. Anything I could do to give my son a happy and memorable Christmas was worth it. However now Max is a teen and all the running around and preparing for the big day can be a bit daunting. So this year I’ve decided to treat myself with Santa’s Little Helper – a low carb spiked cocoa. On Christmas eve when everything is ready to go, I’m breaking out the low carb hot chocolate with my Torani sugar free syrups, whipped cream clouds and just a touch of vanilla vodka. I can’t wait!
