Piña Colada: Recipe Makeover
You'll like our way of losing almost all the sat fat while keeping the delicious coconutty goodness. By Sidney Fry, MS, RD
Lighter Piña Coladas
Nothing says "escape" like a creamy, ice-cold piña colada: cocktail in hand, feet in the sand, music in the background (hopefully
not that dreadful piña colada song, the last #1 hit of the 1970s, unless it's a guilty pleasure). Unfortunately, nothing says
"better head to the gym" like a piña colada, too: 425 calories, 8 grams of saturated fat, most of which comes from the mysterious
goo known as cream of coconut. We'll show you how we kept the vacation-worthy flavor while slashing fat and calories. At just
158 calories, it's all pleasure, no guilt.
Classic
• 425 calories per drink
• 9.4 grams total fat
• 8.8 grams saturated fat
Makeover
• 158 calories per drink
• 1.2 grams total fat
• 1 gram saturated fat
