Let's say you start your day with a large latte from your local coffee shop. You feel like something a little sweeter today, so you add some vanilla syrup. Bad news: You might have just downed more than 400 calories!
Even if you branch out from coffee with a green tea or strawberry blended drink, a large size can contain nearly 20 teaspoons of sugar. Adding whipped cream ups the calories—and the fat content—even more.
But don't worry—there's no need to give up your morning java. You just have to know how to avoid ordering a sugar bomb. Here are three tricks to try:
1. Always ask for a smaller size and specify nonfat milk.
2. If you're craving a flavored syrup, try one that's sugar-free.
3. If you're up for it, go for the most straightforward yet healthiest option of all: A black coffee or tea with no added anything!
