COFFEE SHOP DRIVE THRU -

COFFEE SHOP DRIVE-THRU

In the coffee-shop drive-thru, the main thing to know is that the fancy froo-froo drinks and the pastries and breads are not your friend.

The second thing to pay attention to is the fact that many of these drive-thrus will have plain coffee with real half n half and stevia sweeteners, as well as healthier protein options.

Think: PLAIN COFFEE + PROTEIN + VEGGIES

This combination gives you protein, fiber, healthy carbs, and some fat to keep you full longer and your blood sugar in check.

What you CAN order:

Water (excellent option for first thing in the am when you've been getting dehydrated all night.)
Plain coffee (NO flavored syrups--they're loaded with sugar. Opt for REAL milk or half n half + stevia sweetener if you want it sweet {usually the green packets of sweetener}.)
Protein (hard-boiled eggs, sous vide egg bites, omelet, frittata, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage {in burrito bowl format perhaps?}, peanut butter or almond butter).
Oatmeal (NO sugar toppings; add fruit + nuts + stevia to sweeten)
Fresh fruit
Veggies (spinach, peppers, celery, carrots)

What to AVOID:

Flavored syrups (FULL of sugar!)
Any fancy drink (FULL of sugar!)
Breads
Croissants
Muffins
English Muffins
Cookies
Cakes
Pastries
