Redo Your Coffee Shop Stop

A cup of coffee is a must for many to start their day. But for many, it is more than just coffee in the cup. Here are some ways to rethink your coffee drink:

  • Downsize—Switch from a large to a small size and it just might hit the spot!
  • Do Dairy Right—cut calories by using low-fat or skim milk to reduce saturated fat.
  • Skip the “Whip” – While it is a fun treat, a daily dose of whipped cream can increase daily calories. Save it for special occasions.
  • Cut the Syrup in Half—Use one pump of syrup instead of two. Or, try a sprinkle of cinnamon or cocoa instead for extra flavor.
  • Coffee and Treats—Those treats, such as a muffin or pastry, are still tasty and more fun shared with a friend.
