My Coffee Only Has 2 Calories! How Many Does Yours Have?

While many people find the taste of black coffee to be harsh or bitter, their efforts to mask that flavor can increase the calorie count to well over what they may expect. An 8oz cup of black coffee has 2 calories; when you add just 1tbsp of sugar, you are adding 10 calories (but let's be honest...who added just one cube of sugar). Most of the creamers that we purchase in the store can add 30-100 calories to your 8oz cup. If you are making a run to your nearest coffee house chain, your double-pumped vanilla spice deliciousness can bring that cup to 250-450 calories!

I love a latte treat every now and then as much as anyone but I make sure to view it as just that; a treat! This not only keeps my health in check but also save me a ton of money. I have not bought creamer in 2 years and only buy a sweet coffee drink on a treat day.

If you are a chronic cream drinker, then switching to black coffee is no easy task. My recommendation is to switch from creamer to vanilla almond milk, then original unsweetened almond milk, and slowly reduce they amount you use. It will take some time, but eventually you will LOVE the taste of pure clean 2 calorie coffee.
