How to Make a Low-calorie Heart Healthy Coffee Drink at Home:

You'll Need:
Decaf coffee
Sugar free flavored syrups
Almond milk (or soy milk or skim milk)
Add to taste some sugar-free flavoring to a cup of fresh, hot coffee. Flavored syrups can be found in most grocery stores, in the coffee aisle.
Almond milk is delicious in flavored coffee. It has less fat than skim milk, and has such nutrients as antioxidants, calcium, magnesium, selenium and copper, that are necessary for good health. You can find almond milk on the shelf, not in the refrigerator section, in rectangular cardboard boxes.

Coffee, sugar-free flavored syrups and almond milk make a delightful, full bodied morning beverage. If you want your coffee even sweeter, add Splenda to taste.
