COFFEEHOUSE HEALTHY PICKS

If you can’t make it a day without hitting up your favorite coffeehouse, then you need this information!

Did you know that a bran-cranberry-apple muffin and a large white mocha with whip will set you back as much as $7 and nearly 1100 calories? (Remember that 3500 calories is equal to one pound.) Not only are you likely to gain weight with these high-calorie treats, but you could be spending that money on fresh produce at the market and stretching your budget a lot further.

If you really feel the need to order something, try to be conscientious of what you’re getting. Consider buying a tall café latte with expresso and nonfat steamed milk for around 120 calories. If you’re just looking for a caffeine boost, try a large coffee at 5 calories and add a zero calorie sweetener.

What about that muffin you ordered? For around 100 calories, you could substitute it with a plain biscotti. Better yet, select the pre-packaged nuts by the register; they’re low in calories and will leave you feeling fuller for longer.
