Seven Low Calorie Coffee Drinks

Seven Low Calorie Coffee Drinks…

Coffee drinks are one of the few things I love about fall! Sure, in the summer, you can enjoy frozen or iced coffee drinks, but it is just not the same as a steamy flavored latte… which, by the way, you can enjoy even if you are dieting! According to the talented barista at my local Biggby coffee, there are loads of coffee drinks you can have with less than 250 calories. Curious, & perhaps thirst? Here are seven low-calorie coffee drinks.

1st: ICED SPOTTED OWL

Calorie count: 128

Wait, I thought we were supposed to be protecting the spotted owl, not drinking them! But they are so very tasty! This latte is made with skim milk & sugar-free marshmallow, vanilla & hazelnut syrup. For an extra kick, try it with two shots of espresso… yow!

2st: PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE

Calorie count: 148

This is my fall coffee drink favorite, either this way (low-cal) or with whipped cream on top (just a smidge!). It is skim milk with one shot each of espresso & sugar-free pumpkin, gingerbread & cinnamon… so delicious!

3st: GINGERSNAP LATTE

Calorie count: 198

This low-cal coffee drink is similar to the Pumpkin Spice latte, only instead of pumpkin & cinnamon, it is just gingerbread with a shot of sugar-free marshmallow. It really does taste like a gingersnap cookie!

4st: S’MORES LATTE

Calorie count: 200

While most of us consider s’mores to be a mid-summer camping thing, why not enjoy one as a coffee drink this fall? It is a skim milk latte with sugar free shots of chocolate, marshmallow, & gingerbread. Hmm. Are you noticing a fall trend with all these gingerbread flavor shots?

5st: CARAMEL COCOA LATTE

Calorie count: 205

If you like the ooey-gooey flavor of caramel but want the coffee drink without the sticky after-effects, then try this! It is (again) a skim milk latte with one shot each of sugar-free chocolate & caramel syrup. It has a completely different flavor than your typical mocha latte, or hot cocoa.

6st: CHUMPKIN

Calorie count: 227

I freely admit I wanted to include this low-cal coffee drink because of its name alone. But it actually does taste really, really good! It is chai with pumpkin, which isn’t nearly as fun to say as “chumpkin.” Ask for it with skim milk, & without whipped cream, & maintain your diet without sacrificing sweets!

7st: BLACK COFFEE!

Calorie count: 5

Maybe you think all these fru-fru drinks are still a little on the higher-calorie end. Then why not have a plain old cup of rich black coffee? Too macho? Then keep in mind that skim milk adds 80 calories, & sugar adds 35, so feel free to doctor it up a bit.

I hate to say this out loud & all, but I am so excited for fall now that I have put together this list… all my favorite coffee drinks are on here! I can not wait for my Chumpkin’s of this season!
