Whoever says that eating healthy isn't fun definitely hasn't spiked a smoothie before. If that sounds weird to you, don't knock it til you try it because it's better than most of the cocktails made at your favorite bar and way more nutritious, too.
Making an alcohol-infused smoothie is pretty simple and most of them require the same steps as any other smoothie you'd make. Basically, you'll throw some fruits and veggies into a blender, but instead you'll add your favorite liquor, too–tequila, whiskey, rum, whatever your buzz-wanting heart desires.
A boozy smoothie lets you achieve a slight buzz, while reaping all the nutritional benefits of your favorite fruits and veggies. Some smoothies obviously have more calories than others, so this tasty drink might qualify as a snack or cheat treat, which is something to keep in mind if you're watching your calories.

A spiked smoothie is the perfect end to a long day or a tasty treat in the morning. We won't tell.
