Looks good, what do you think you could substitute grapefruit juice for, not a big fan of grapefruit.

I guess you could try using orange juice or pineapple juice instead of the grapefruit juice.

I don’t think healthy is the word to use when referring to alcohol and sugary juices lol (poke poke)
To reduce the calories, I would suggest to use a low calorie cranberry juice, and even cut it down and substitute a small amount (even a few tbsps with water, and add a tbsp of lime juice instead. I think it would freeze the same approximately..
I know personally, when I’m conscientiously trying to reduce the caloric intake in my day, I aim for a 200-400 cal deficit, and drinking 120 cals for one drink for is a lot… not only that, after one drink you always want more… or at least I want more lol
It likely sounds like I’m preaching to you, but I’m really not. One of the best pieces of advice I’ve received is from my dietitian: Limit juice to 1 serving (1/2 cup) a day if you MUST have it, and if you do, do not calculate it as a serving of fruits and vegetables. I follow the Canada food guide, which aims for 5-10 servings of fruit and veggies a day, so filling yourself up with sugar drinks isn’t a good way to go. They are filling and you end up not eating as much, spike your blood sugar and fall ill to cravings much sooner than things with fiber, as in the real fruit. It also increases your risk for cavities as it keeps sugar in your mouth and in your gums.
Sorry for the rant. I hope you learned something from this, I’m not a know it all, I like to share. Peace. xo
