Iced coffee: Calories and a low-calorie alternative

An iced coffee is refreshing especially in summer, but has many calories. In this guide, we will show you how many that is and which low-calorie alternative there is.

Iced coffee: refreshment with many calories

Enjoy a delicious iced coffee while consuming some calories.

• A real iced coffee consists of cold coffee with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a cream topping.
• The drink refreshes and also cheers up due to the coffee. However, you have to expect around 315 calories per glass that you consume.
• If you do not use the vanilla ice cream, there are still a little more than 180 calories.

Recipe for "better" iced coffee: low in calories and still tasty

If you want to pay attention to your figure, you don't necessarily have to do without an iced coffee. You can also prepare the drink with fewer calories.

• The American version is clearly lower in calories, but not quite as tasty. With this version, you just put a few ice cubes in the black coffee instead of vanilla ice cream.
• You can replace the vanilla ice cream with ice cubes. But you don't have to do without sweetness. If you use the sweetener stevia, there are no calories at all.
• Whipped cream is a calorie bomb - but the icing on the cake makes the iced coffee nice and creamy. Milk frothed with a small milk frother can easily replace the cream. If you use low-fat milk, you save additional calories.
• There are several alternatives to milk in coffee, for example if you cannot tolerate milk. Not everyone is equally good as a cream substitute. But you can froth almond milk well. It tastes almost as good as the original, but leaves significantly less love handles on your hips. Then you can also enjoy two or three iced coffees without worrying about your figure.
• Tip: Don't overdo it with counting calories. If you fancy a real iced coffee, treat yourself to it without a guilty conscience.

You consume some calories in everyday life and at home. As an example, we will show you how high the calorie consumption is when ironing.
