Twelve Lower-Calorie Coffee Drinks For Your Next Java Fix

As we head towards this busy season, the stress is even higher than it usually is.  The threat of illness still hangs above our heads as we prepare for holidays that may look a little different this year. 

So, I say that we need to treat ourselves at every chance we get!  Christmas cookies?  Bring them on!  Seasonal music, movies and sweaters?  Yes, yes and yes! 

But, here’s the thing.  Indulging in too much can bring about weight gain and health issues (one eggnog latte has 610 calories!).  So, I have gathered some lower calorie choices for coffee drinks (and how to order them).  Because, Lord knows we need our coffee fixes right about now! 

• Iced Better Mocha – How to order: Venti iced Americano, 5 pumps skinny mocha with a light splash of cream.  (Only 85 calories!) 

• Dirty Chai Tea Latte – Order an iced or hot chai tea latte with almond milk, 1 pump chai, 2 pumps sugar-free vanilla with a shot of blonde or regular espresso.  (My son’s favorite drink). 
• Cinnamon Almond Macchiato – Order a Cinnamon Almond macchiato (it should automatically come with almond milk), with 4 pumps SF cinnamon dolce and a light caramel drizzle. 
• Iced Salted Caramel Mocha – Order a grande iced cold brew with 1 pump sugar-free vanilla, 1 ½ pumps  toffee nut, 1 pump skinny mocha and light cream.  (75 calories!). 
• Christmas In a Cup – Order a Venti Triple iced coffee with 5 pumps SF cinnamon dolce, 4 pumps, SF vanilla a splash of cream and cinnamon powder. (160 calories you can sip on all day!) 
• Nitro Caramel Cold Brew – Order a Nitro Caramel Cold Brew with one pump caramel, 3 pumps SF vanilla and a dash of cream. 

• Black Nitro Cold Brew – Make sure you ask for unsweetened, most people don’t know that black coffee drinks usually come sweetened.  With no added milk this one is 0 calories!  
• Vanilla Cinnamon Dream – Order this way: In a venti cup, a grande iced coffee with 2 pumps SF vanilla and 2 pumps SF cinnamon, no classic syrup, with cream and ice to top. 
• Chai Tea Latte – Order a chai tea bag (not the concentrate) with steamed almond milk and SF vanilla.  Add stevia and a sprinkle of cinnamon to taste.  (You’ll save 240 calories!). 
• Vanilla Mocha – Order an iced grande Americano, unsweetened with 2 pumps of SF vanilla and 2 pumps of SF mocha.  Add stevia only if needed. 
• Toffee Mocha – Order an iced skinny mocha with one pump of toffee (the toffee isn’t SF, but one pump won’t break the bank). 

• Pumpkin Spice Misto – Order a Grande Coffee Misto with almond milk, 1 pump of pumpkin spice, 1 pump of SF cinnamon dolce and 1 -2 packets of stevia.  (You will save 40 grams of sugar – 40 GRAMS!). 

And, if you don’t like coffee? 

• Passion Tango Tea – Order an iced venti unsweetened passion tango tea with a few splashes of coconut milk and 1 stevia packet.  Yum! 

You won’t feel guilty about ordering these drinks and you will still feel like you’ve had a treat.  So, sip on, dear mommies!  You deserve it.
