One or two simple adjustments can turn an otherwise high-calorie coffee drink into something much healthier that supports your healthy lifestyle. And you don’t have to sacrifice flavor in favor of nutrition: there are numerous ways of ordering coffee without adding unnecessary sugar and fat.

Start With Cleaner Options

Selecting higher-grade coffee beans will not only make your drink taste better but may also increase its antioxidant content and potentially decrease risk for certain cancers, Parkinson’s disease and type 2 diabetes. When looking for organic, shadegrown or Fair Trade certified beans grown and processed using natural methods.

Use Lower-Fat Milk No matter your choice of dairy or nondairy beverages, selecting lower-fat options will reduce both calories and saturated fat intake. Select either 2% or nonfat milk instead of the full-fat version which has more saturated fat.

Skip the Whipped Cream

A layer of whipped cream on your coffee can add over 110 calories packed with saturated fat without adding much in terms of flavor enhancement. Instead, opt for unflavored cold foam made with nonfat milk that does not contain additional sugar or fats.

Many people rely on sugar or sweetened syrups to sweeten their coffee, but this can add unnecessary calories and increase risk of heart disease. Instead, try flavoring your beverage with spices such as cinnamon, cocoa powder or nutmeg which not only add warmth and flavor but can also have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.

Sugar-Free Creamers and Syrups

Although these sugar-free sweeteners may have fewer calories than their traditional counterparts, they contain artificial ingredients which could pose health risks. When trying to manage blood sugar levels effectively, aim to consume no more than 9 teaspoons (36 grams) per day of added sugar for women and 9 teaspoons (36.6 grams) daily for men.

If you love the taste of a specific drink but are concerned about increasing your daily caloric intake, consider ordering smaller sizes instead. For instance, Starbucks’ tall latte contains almost half the calories of its grande and 55 percent less than their venti counterpart, yet still tastes exactly the same!

Before ordering your drink at Starbucks, check its nutrition information online or via their app to determine whether each item meets your diet goals and food preferences. Sort items by ingredient to quickly locate those you like best, while having access to an app can give you access to detailed nutritional breakdown of drinks quickly through QR codes scanned from smartphones.
