Quick Tip- Coffee

I like Starbucks but personally I think it's too expensive to go everyday. The trick with coffee is starting with a good coffee. Using cheap coffee and putting expensive creamers and sugars in it just makes a high calorie drink. I like Hawaiian Hazelnut, Vanilla Nut, and French Vanilla. I usually switch between which one is on sale. I also like to buy it in the big bag at Sam's club or Costco.

1/2 cup ground coffee- for 8cups

 

2 splenda packets

 

2 T coffee-mate

 

This breaks down to $.70 for your morning cup of coffee. Big difference! You'll save money and calories!

 

If you're thinking "iced" coffee add 1/4 cup more ground coffee, make your coffee the way you would normally (coffee-mate and splenda) and then pour over ice! If you want to make a thicker iced coffee (higher in calories and sugar) add 1 can sweetened condensed milk to 1 pot of coffee and chill.
