How To Make Your Coffee Order Healthier

Its officially October and many of us out there feel we can't truly start the day unless we have a good old cup of coffee to wake us up especially during these colder mornings! However if you are health conscious and worried about some of the sugars and calories in your usual order we have some tips on how to make your cup healthier whether you come by our various Costa outlets on campus or get your caffeine fix at our Made outlets we have you covered.

Go for skimmed instead of whole milk- You'll still be getting your milky coffee but cutting back considerably on the calories or cut the milk out completely and get a black coffee.

Cut back on the sugar- One of the main ways to make your coffee healthier is to cut back on sugar, this can easily be done by choosing sweeteners or taking out the syrups from your usual order.

Drink in moderation- Coffee is a great way to start your day but it is recommended to enjoy it in moderation due to the caffeine. If your still craving a coffee later in the day and feel you've already had one cup to many opt for decaf, tea or treat yourself to a hot chocolate! Remember it is okay to treat yourself from time to time just in moderation.

Say no to the extras- Often you might be asked if you want chocolate, whipped cream etc on top, cutting these back is a great way to cut back on sugar and calories.

Get a smaller size- If you are really craving a sugary sweet coffee maybe go for a smaller cup such as a medium instead of large you'll still be satisfied and getting your fix.

We hope this has helped you make some simple small solutions that could make a big difference to your health! We have some very exciting blog posts coming soon with new promotional material so stay tuned!
