The heat is so hot that it may be hard for you to resist the temptation of drinks anyway. Even for slimming runners who are usually afraid of the calories of drinks, they must want to buy a drink after exercise or on the street in the heat. Here are some low-calorie drinks in Starbucks and Costa, and how to make some drinks less calorie.

Drinks with the lowest calories: American coffee, cold coffee, tea bags

First of all, let's talk about the lowest-calorie beverage, which is undoubtedly American coffee, and of course, the cold extract coffee that Starbucks is always promoting at present. These two kinds of coffee have only 3 calories (100 milliliters) and basically have no burden on the body. In terms of calories, it is similar to drinking tea. What I want to say here is that, in fact, cold-extracted coffee is extracted for a long time in a low-temperature environment, reducing the sour taste of the coffee, so there is little difference between the natural and American style in calories.

In addition, both American style and cold extract are in the form of ice drinks (cold extract can not be hot), which is very suitable for drinking in summer. In winter, the lowest calorie drinks can also choose Starbucks Chinese tea, or Costa Chuanning tea, but these are bags of tea, many Chinese people do not like this feeling (the heart is easy to feel Low).

Choice of good taste: latte, cappuccino, fragrant white

If you drink coffee alone, many people will find it difficult to accept the taste, which will improve the taste with the addition of milk alone, and reduce the "stamina" of coffee for people who are sensitive to caffeine. Basically, the calories of lattes and cappuccinos are only milk, so lattes are only 76 calories (100 milliliters), while cappuccinos are only 31 calories (100 milliliters) because they add less milk (both foam).

But it should be noted that, according to my observation, when these two drinks are made into iced coffee, there is no difference in the amount of milk added in many coffee shops. After all, iced coffee does not have the effect of cappuccino. So in theory, the calories of drinking iced lattes or cappuccinos in the final summer are the same, and the calorie value should be the same as lattes.

Furebai is the latest new type of coffee, which is called Flat white in English in different coffee shops. Starbucks has given it a literary name. In fact, it has less water and a higher concentration of coffee than a latte, so it also has a low calorie of 47 calories (100 milliliters), but this doesn't make iced coffee.

You can take the initiative to subtract: skim milk, cream, syrup

When you order, you can take the initiative to choose some drink recipes, which can indirectly make drinks that are high in calories relatively light.

First of all, in the above coffee, you can tell the waiter that you need to use skim milk, which will further reduce the calories of coffee such as latte, cappuccino and fragrant white, but will affect the mellow taste of the coffee. For example, skim milk Frappe has 27 calories (per 100 ml), which is 20 calories lower than the standard formula.

Many Frappuccino or Coolabing products will be filled with cream at the end, and you can choose not to cream, which will greatly reduce calories.

In addition, many drinks baristas will add syrup to add flavor, such as black tea latte, you can choose not to add sugar, the taste will become the bitter taste of black tea, but the calories are greatly reduced. Matcha latte / matcha star Frappuccino product itself uses matcha powder containing cream, which is inherently sweet. You can choose not to have sugar at all. It also tastes good. In addition, if you can't accept no sugar at all, you can also tell the waiter to ask for "half sugar".

Finally, once again, summarize the good Starbucks / Costa low-calorie beverage choices: American, cold extract, latte, cappuccino, Frappie white, black tea latte (no sugar).
