If your like me today resulted in a return to almost normalcy post the holidays. Which meant my love of coffee was renewed in spirit. I use to be a Latte a day kinda gal, from of course a well-known chain. However since my Glow Up process three years ago, I have successfully transitioned not only to a cheaper solution but one that also does not require an extra stop, and ironically is also way less in sugar.
Find the right coffee maker/machine. I personally love the Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso Machine by De'Longhi, Dark Grey. It allows me to make a wonderful cup of coffee with my favorite pods and then add my glow-up items to it. I go the cheaper route here as well and do not get the milk frother.
Another massive swap I did to improve the nutrition value in my coffee is I swapped my normal, cream, milk, or coffee creamer and substituted protein drinks instead for that. I also froth that protein drink to give myself a latte feel without the added sugars or calories. Below are the items I use daily to upgrade to that coffee barista shop feel.
I round out my morning cup of heaven with a few things. But I love to add a Skinny Syrup to get that seasonal mocha or caramel flavor. Some whipped cream on top and a sprinkle of Freshjax Maple Cinnamon on top. It adds just enough to make me feel important, with not a ton of added calories, sugar, and of course cost!
