Coffee is low calories

You may already know that coffee is naturally low in calories. In fact, a Grande brewed coffee (16 fl oz) has only about 5 calories, so it is good choices for those seeking a delicious, low-cal pick-me-up.

If you like a little added sweetness, here are some of my favorite customizations. (All nutritional info per Grande 16 fl oz size.)

Iced Coffee with 1 packet of sugar – 25 calories, 0g fat, 6g sugar, 0g protein.
Iced Coffee with Milk made “skinny” with one serving of sugar-free sweetener* and a splash (say 2 fl oz) of nonfat milk – 25 calories, 0g fat, 3g sugar, 2g protein.

Knowing all this, treating yourself to a delicious cup of coffee has never felt so good!
