Run Eat Repeat

Skinny Watermelon Margarita Recipe

Recipes· Smoothies

FacebookTweetPin
3 May

I have often said “RunEatRepeat” is a love letter to running and watermelon.

i love watermelon

There is no denying my passion for watermelon. And after countless tweets and calls and letters and begging – my crush has finally answered me and we are making beautiful things together…

No. I am not pregnant.

But I am making a love child with watermelon as I am going to be a Watermelon Ambassador and bring you watermelon recipes, information and random musings for the next six months!

And I thought it only fitting to combine my love for Watermelon with my Mexican heritage and start off my watermelon recipe series with a Watermelon Margarita. Enjoy one this Sunday on Cinco de Mayo!!

We all want to drink, but also want to fit in our skinny jeans so here’s a Skinny Margarita Recipe featuring my favorite fruit.

Skinny Watermelon Margarita Recipe

  • 3/4 cup frozen watermelon (freeze overnight)
  • 1.5 oz. tequila
  • 1 TB. lime juice
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • 1 packet stevia
  • 2 oz. seltzer (I used lime)

Serves one.

Blend.

Swipe the lime around the rim of the margarita glass and roll it in a salt/sugar mix.

I put 1/4 cup salt, 1/4 cup sugar in a flat container and dipped the rim in that for a sweet and salty margarita rim. You can do all salt if that’s your jam.

Enjoy!

Now if you don’t mind I am off to spend some time with my love…

What’s your favorite way to enjoy watermelon?? 

THIS IS YOUR YEAR.

      Hi Natalie, I know I need to write a weight loss post soon. I just have’t had the time to do it justice. Do you have any specific questions you’d like me to address?

        I am excited to read about your weight loss journey in general so anything about what you find works/didn’t work and what had the greatest effect would be great! good luck in the marathon tomorrow!

      Hi Monica!

      This looks great! I just wanted to ask you why you haven’t posted about your recent weight loss (besides mentioning it here and there). You look great in photos but I find it frustrating that this is a weight loss/health blog and you haven’t talked about it much yet. Keep doing what you are doing though, looking good!

        I’ve tried them in a smoothie as an added fruit, but not as the ‘feature flavor’.

      They have to have a watermelon promotion board? That’s just as wild as having campaigns for people to eat avocados. I mean those 2 things are so delicious, who needs convincing?

          Generally, I would agree runners are a very friendly group. Funny though – during my last few long runs, I have enetrnocued more unfriendly runners than the last year total! Mostly just aloof – not responding to wave or hello, ignoring, that sort of thing. Perhaps they were very intent on their runs? Either way, I would still say runners are a friendly bunch!

      I can’t wait until watermelon season! I eat it EVERY SINGLE DAY over the summer. There is always watermelon in the fridge or a spare one in the pantry, like most people always have milk in the house. Running out means anxiety and chaos D:

      Gotta admit I used to hate watermelon when I was younger. It was always around in the summer by the pool but I was never a fan. Things have changed since then though. I love flavored margaritas but don’t think I’ve ever had a watermelon one- sounds good!

      I love that this margarita recipe uses real watermelon. I’m going to tell myself that the margarita is healthy because it has lots of real fruit in it, so I can drink a lot of them. 🙂
