Virgin Frozen Mango Margarita

by

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Celebrate today with this frozen, tropical, and sweet treat! This is a fun take on the classic frozen margarita but with an exotic twist. You guessed it, mango! While traditional margaritas have tequila and usually Cointreau, I have chosen to keep this version alcohol free. On the SCD diet, after all symptoms have disappeared, occasionally vodka may be used. Tequila and Cointreau are not permitted, because of their sugar content. However, I thoroughly enjoy this virgin margarita as is and I know you will too!
