A yummy pick me up for 55 calories?!

Have you ever received a gift that you loved so much you were stunned when you received it?! Just a few months back I had this happen to me.. My mom gave me an espresso maker! I was pumped! I can now make low fat, sugar free coffees in my skibbies and not care what people may think because they don't know! (until now...) So, with a few months under my belt of perfecting the perfect non-fat coffees I have found one of my new favorites..
Have you ever thought you could have a yummy coffee for 55 calories or under?! I know, I know I didn't think it was possible either, I have always been that girl that I replaced a MEAL with my coffee, because each one equals out to about 400+ calories. Well now my friends our yummy coffees can be a part of our meals, not the whole thing :)

What you will need is..

Almond Milk (I use the original blue diamond, Almond Breeze, it is low in calories, low in sugars and has yummy vitamins :) )
Your favorite sugar free flavored coffee syrup (I used Almond Roca this morning)
Some espresso
Ice cubes


Fill your cup with ice.

pour 3/4 cup of almond milk over ice

2-3 Tbs of sugar free flavored syrup

two shots of espresso

Mix and enjoy :) If it is a little too strong add some more milk and syrup :) When following the recipe You are only consuming 55 calories! I know, I know, I think I am in love as well...
