Coffee has gone from a morning wake up or a drink to have with dessert to a dessert itself. On its own, coffee has about five calories per serving, as well as no fat or sugar. But between sugary, flavored syrups, whipped cream, sweetened foams, and other toppings, some coffee drinks are nutritionally comparable to a candy bar.
Enjoying a sweet treat once in a while is fun and can be part of a healthy meal plan. For many, coffee drinks have become a part of daily life, sometimes even multiple times per day. This frequency could lead to excess intake of saturated fat, sugar, and calories.
