Coffee is amazing as I am sure we can all agree. However, many do not like the traditional black coffee that is 0 calories. If we have a choice, we like to add creamer or even go for one of those coffee treats from Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, McDonalds, or your local coffee shop. The problem is, many of these drinks/additions come at a high cost - calories! For example, a tall Caramel Macchiato from Starbucks is 190 calories with 25 grams of sugar!
I am one who loves a good Iced Caramel Macchiato. No shame in admitting that. However, when you want it every day, those calories will add up quickly over the week (not to mention the sugar). Once I started watching my daily calorie intake in addition to sugar, I was NOT going to give up almost 200 calories a day on a drink that didn't even fill me up!
I found an alternative that taste just as yummy and sweet. Plus, it's only 20 calories! Plus, this will save you $$$!

2 Tablespoons Lite Cool Whip (20 calories - the only ingredient with calories FYI)
