It’s no secret that we all reach for a tasty hot drink every now and then. It’s honestly a little too easy and convenient to stop at your favorite local coffee shop for a midday pick-me-up. While occasionally enjoying a cup of hot coffee is harmless, you should think twice before you dare to switch up your classic order. 

Many coffee shops serve yummy hot drinks that are actually loaded with lots of sugar and extra calories. From lattes to fancy teas, it’s definitely hard to keep track of what you should drink and what you should steer clear from entirely–especially when it comes to dieting. 

While Starbucks is a great spot to pick up a quick drink, you need to be wary of the assortment of menu options before placing your order. Luckily, we’ve got you covered with the one unexpected hot drink you need to cut out of your order ASAP for the sake of weight loss.
