Who doesn't love an iced coffee? Well, I haven't always... I know, shocker! But one day the switched flipped and now I LOVE iced coffee! BUT!!

I have this thing... I don't like to drink my calories. I don't mind having a smoothie for breakfast or lunch, but to down 200-600 calories on a drink? Nope! No way, that's not going to happen!
So my goal was to create a yummy iced coffee without a bajillion calories!
This one is only about 30 calories! Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!
Iced coffee is so easy to make. You only need 3 ingredients.
Coffee
Milk
Sweetener
Optional - coffee ice cubes
Let's talk about these ingredients...
Coffee - I use brewed coffee. It can either be hot or cold brew. It is nice to have a pitcher of cold brew in the fridge or I'll just pour leftover coffee into a pitcher and cool it in the fridge.
Milk - This is where your calories are.... I prefer unsweetened Almond Milk. It's only 30 calories per cup! 👍 Of course, you can use any sort of milk, just remember the calories.
Sweetener - All of my sweeteners are sugar free. I love all the Torani flavors! I also really like Splenda Flavor Sticks, which I just realized they don't make anymore! Ugh! But I just looked and saw a newer Equal French Vanilla, so I'm excited to try that!
You might have noticed that my ice cubes were dark... I freeze coffee in ice cube trays! That way my iced coffee doesn't get watered down. I like it a bit strong! 😍
Okay, here's how I mix my iced coffee. Basically, it's 1-1 ratio. This is where you can play with how strong you like it.
I fill my glass ½ full, then add milk to the rest. Then I add my sweetener, stir and sip!
Super easy!! Of course, the calories are going to depend on how much milk you add, and if you are using a sugar free sweetener. But this doesn't even compare to how much you'd 'spend' in calories for a Starbucks ice coffee.
