Like many people, I love my fancy coffee house drinks. Frappachinos, lattes, mochas... YUM! Have you ever looked at the nutrition facts on these drinks? If you haven't, you might want to take a look. Most of our favorite coffee house drinks are between 400-500 calories for a medium size serving!!! That's more than any meal should be! Luckily I have some suggestions for alternatives if you find yourself craving one of these drinks. Now a days, most coffee shops have a huge selection of sugar free syrups to choose from. Ask for one of these syrups to flavor your latte instead of the regular syrup. For those syrups that don't come in sugar free, you can ask for "1 pump" of the syrup. I do this when ordering pumpkin spice lattes & it tastes just as good with almost half the calories! ALWAYS ask for soy milk (or fat free if you must). Soy is the healthiest option when if comes to milk. Do these things and you will have a much healthier coffee drink! However, these drinks are still high is sugar and processed foods, so I would only drink them occasionally if possible. As for the delicious looking pastries at the coffee shop... I have no suggestions lol just avoid those!!!
