Have you sipped a Starbuck's Frappuccino, mocha, or latte lately? "Grinding" the numbers, you'll see that those frothy coffee drinks can pack a whopping 500 calories and 27 grams of fat each! That's a Venti-sized serving of calories, but if you think about the basic ingredients - whipped cream, whole fat milk, and sugary syrups - it's clear where they come from. Not to mention adding a piece of coffee cake, biscotti, or a madeleine cookie! Best-case scenario: ditch the frothy coffee drinks and opt for black coffee or tea. If that's a no-can-do for you, than choose a drink with nonfat milk and no whipped cream. This simple act can save you up to 400 calories!
