Bloody Mary or Mimosa...

Getting ready to meet your friends for the weekend brunch, toast to the Bloody Mary for the healthier choice!  The juice in both these cocktails gives you a nutrient boost - vitamin C, potassium and vitamin A, but the tomato juice in the Bloody contains less sugar than a mimosa’s OJ.

Tomatoes also have lycopene, shown o protect against cancer and heart disease.  Also, at 125 calories per a 10-ounce glass contains 25 fewer calories than an 8-ounce mimosa!  Ha Ha - if you order it extra spicy you might sip it more slowly!  I am a big fan of the build your own Bloody Mary bars, I can make a meal on all the vegetables I add to it and of course I skip the celery salted rim!

Until Monday - keep thinking veggies and protein!
