The Do's and Don'ts for Healthier Coffee

Thursday, February 23, 2012

Now within the age of Starbucks at every corner, or at least some reasonably low at intervals walking distance, we tend to should be acutely aware concerning our occasional consumption.

Pour during a little non-dairy creamer each day, multiple sugar packs here and there, and you'll be choosing up an unhealthy habit.

Just two sugar packets on a daily basis adds up to 10,950 further Calories a Year!

But, as usual, there are perpetually exceptions to the rules.

Here are my choices for healthy and unhealthy coffee condiments:
Soy milk: My number one choice although it may be considered controversial. It adds a depth of flavor and touch of sweetness. You may even strive a soy creamer.Almond milk: A pure and clean possibility.Skim milk: Perpetually a great choice instead of creamers for those watching their waistline. Also boasts a hefty serving of calcium and vitamin D.Stevia: An all natural no calorie sweetener. The flavor in coffee is a little off, but some people like it just fine as their occasional sweetener of choice. Sugar: More than one teaspoon of any sugar source is considered to be "an excessive amount of" in my books. This includes excessive honey, agave, brown sugar, and different natural sugars.Sweet'N Low/Equal/Artificial Sweeteners: Used sparingly this could be OK, but why "dirty" up a clean antioxidant source with chemicals? As another I would encourage you to use one pack of Splenda with one pack of real sugar to strive to reduce how sweet you wish your occasional. Non-dairy creamer: Any powdered creamer or mystery creamer packets that aren't refrigerated. These contain trans fat which we tend to need to avoid to stay our hearts healthy and happy.Liquid flavored creamers: Some contain trans fat, while others contain an extended list of ingredients. It would be best to stay with one or 2 tablespoons of [*fr1] and 0.5 on avoid the lengthy list of artificial ingredients.To answer the initial question, if you prefer a certain condiment in your coffee and you know it is not the best choice, just use it sparingly or have it as a dessert coffee once and awhile.

What do you set in your occasional, if anything?
