I know I own a coffee bar serving beautiful and delicious beverages, BUT I also bitch about how much they can add to your daily intake. To avoid me sounding like a broken record, Posie recommended I let you know how many calories a few of the popular drinks have in them. Bear in mind that you should be consuming between 1500-2500 Calories per day depending on the individual. Each of the drinks is based on a 400ml serving. Also compare a typical breakfast of weetbix and skim milk is 256 Calories.
Hot chocolate with full cream milk - 356 Calories
Freshly squeezed orange juice - 138 Calories
Full cream coffee (large) - 225 Calories
Fresh carrot, beetroot, apple and celery juice - 140 Calories
Iced coffee with whipped cream - 305 Calories
Low fat mango smoothie - 189 Calories
Ribena (60ml cordial) - 120 Calories
Tea with skim milk - 18 Calories
Coke - 167 Calories
Soft drink - 172 Calories
I'm not saying you should never have these, just consider how much you are adding to you daily intake by consuming them. Some of these are fairly good choices and could be used as a snack. If you are struggling with your weight, just removing some or all of these beverages could make a big difference. Substituting full cream milk for skim milk could also cut the calories of the coffee (or hot chocolate) by half.
