Have you tried the Starbucks Iced Coffee? When I have a cup of hot coffee in the morning, or anytime of day, I like it black. Yet, there is something about this iced coffee with 2% milk and just a little bit of sugar that tastes so good to me in the afternoon! It's a little bit like having dessert!
For those of you wondering about calories, black coffee is zero calories, the 13.7-ounce bottle of Mocha Frappuccino is 260 calories, and the 11-ounce bottle of iced coffee is 110 calories. That doesn't seem too bad for a little treat of iced coffee midday!
If you are a fan of Mountain Dew to get your day started and to keep your day going, this 12- ounce "Throwback" bottle is fun to drink and is 170 calories, same as a 12-ounce can of Mountain Dew. This bottle of Dew is sweetened with sugar rather than corn syrup.
If you like sweet tea and need to quench your thirst, the 18.5 ounce bottle of Lipton Pure Leaf sweet tea is only 160 calories. Of course the same size bottle of unsweetened tea quenches your thirst for zero calories. If you like sweet tea but not the calories, you could get unsweetened tea and add your own low-calorie sweetener, or purchase a bottle of diet iced tea. I'd much rather drink unsweetened tea so I can splurge on an ice cream sandwich too!
Speaking of ice cream, if you are looking for the lesser of evils when it comes to calories, sherbet has no fat (110 calories per half cup), and neither does a fudge bar (130 calories) nor a popsicle (90 calories). The ice cream sandwich tastes satisfying with both fat and sugar and only 190 calories compared to a Klondike bar (290 calories) or a Snickers Ice Cream bar (280 calories). If you buy a pint of vanilla ice cream and eat the whole pint, you would be consuming 760 calories. Don't do it!!!
