How Do You Reduce Calories In Coffee Drinks?
Coffee itself is a low-calorie beverage. But add whip cream, whole milk and other tasty mix-ins, and suddenly your coffee is filled with hidden calories and fat. But it’s easy to avoid fatty pitfalls in your favorite coffee beverage. Ask your barrista to use low-fat or non-fat milk in your coffees and lattes. Request less syrup in coffee drinks that use syrup. Often barristas use four pumps or more, when just one pump will offer enough flavor to satisfy. If you like more syrup in your coffee drinks, reduce calories by asking for sugar-free syrup. Avoid coffee drinks that include caramel or chocolate. These additives, while tasty, add lots of sugar and calories. Drink tea instead of coffee drinks. Tea often requires less sugar and fewer additives to taste sweet.
