Counting Calories? Oh Mom, Coffee Calories Count, Too! by Dr. Josephine Dlugopolski - Gach

In addition to iced coffees, juice, soda, smoothies and fruit drinks also can contain added sugar or high fructose corn syrup. It’s OK to enjoy these in moderation, but just be sure to include the calories you drink when considering your caloric intake for the day!
