Diet friendly 69 calorie cocktail

So I recently went to a Mexican restaurant with my boyfriend and indulged in a beautiful, delicious, calorie-laden watermelon margarita. Boy, was it good!
I have no idea how many calories were in it and it's probably better if I don't find out considering my dinner was probably a bit indulgent as well. 
So I have since been looking for ideas to recreate this wonderful drink and make it a lot more diet friendly. My brain merged a few different ideas and this is what I came up with. 
A shot of Jose, a sprinkle of watermelon kool-aid, then fill the glass with sprite zero. The verdict: it does not taste like the watermelon margarita from the restaurant, but is very good. My bf says it tastes like a jolly rancher. I wouldn't know about that, I haven't had a jolly rancher in probably 20 years since I broke my tooth on one when I was a kid. 
Anyway, this drink is delicious and only 69 calories in the tequila. All other ingredients are zero calorie. Yay!
Enjoy!

Low calorie food heaven

So, this is just a quick post because I just threw together a snack and it is soooo good I had to share. 
Black cherry Greek yogurt, 2 tsp PB2, and 1tsp cocoa powder. Approximately 117 calories but tastes so amazing you'll think you're cheating. 

You're welcome

Strawberry banana muffins

I had a few bananas that had gotten very very ripe so I wanted to use them up. But since I was out of eggs, applesauce, and flour, I had to get creative. The end result: Low calorie strawberry banana muffins. 
I used a Martha White strawberry muffin mix, 1 banana, and 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk.  
I was able to make 9 muffins with the batter bringing the calorie count to 107 each. Very tasty too!
