DRINKS. I cannot live without my little drinks. I pee a lot, so theres that, but it’s all worth it. TMI? haha. With that said, I wanted to share with you my 3 SKINNY HACKS. I call them my skinny hacks, because they keep me occupied and busy. Occupied enough, so I don’t want to munch all day on crap. First thing is first..

MY LATTE. I posted this a couple weeks ago. It’s the easiest to make and isn’t full of dairy or sugar. I make it as a morning drink and go for my second after lunch. Yep, I’m a caffeine addict, but you can make it with decaf coffee, or simply just take out the coffee. Like I said, it keeps me occupied and my belly full and gives me a little afternoon boost. One thing that is in this drink is SWEET DROPS. Guys these sweet drops, are life changing. I add them into my coffee, tea, smoothies, PROTEIN BITES, and oatmeal. You can add them into anything you want more sweet without all the calories. TRY IT!
KOMBUCHA. I specifically am loving Strawberry Serenity. SO good. For less sugar I add 1/2 bottle into a cup and fill with ice, then add in S.Pellegrino for more volume. So you’re getting all the volume, but half the sugar. Kinda genius right? Also, it tastes the exact same and to me, its less strong.
NIGHT TEA. I drink this at night, or I take out the chamomile tea and replace with ginger, or passion fruit tea to drink in the day. With the Apple Cider Vinegar in it, it helps satisfy hunger and keeps the cravings in tact. Makes you feel more full and suppresses the appetite.

It’s a must! Just add in 1 tbsp in your drink. If you’ve never had it before then limit it to 1/2 tbsp. It can give you a little belly ache at the beginning, but it’ll go away and you’ll get used to it.

I find that having a drink at all times of the day, helps keep me busy and keep my mind off of overeating. I don’t know why, but I’ve always been like that. I don’t drink these to keep me from eating what I need to, I drink these to keep me from OVEREATING, and snacking when I don’t need too. Aka mindlessly snacking.

MY COFFEE ADDICTION IS REAL GIRL, IT’S REAAL. If you don’t drink caffeine, GO YOU. If you’re a coffee lover this one is for you. I call this my little afternoon treat. Barista in the house though. Anytime my friends come over I offer them my lovely frothed heaven drink. It’s also way less calories than your regular coffee, and little to no sugar. Very easy to make, so here we go. First and foremost, if you don’t have a milk steamer, it’s not going to live up to it’s expectation. You can use a handheld frother, but it’s definitely not warm and foamy like a milk steamer/frother is going to do. BUT, I did find one that heats and froths that you can buy for $16 HERE. I don’t know how it is because I’ve never used, but it looks good to me! I use DELONGHI Espresso machine. I’ve loved it!

STEP 1: BREW YOUR COFFEE. So every 1 tbsp coffee, you do 2 cups water. I usually do 1-1/2 scoops and 3 cups water. I don’t usually have that much but I like to keep it on hand. I use this Coffee Scooper to measure my coffee. Then I use Starbuck Dark Roast grinded coffee.

STEP 2: MILK MIX: Add in 1 cup Unsweented Vanilla Almond Milk, 1 tbsp Hazelnut or Vanilla Almond Milk Creamer, 1/2 Syringe of Vanilla Creme Sweet Drops, sprinkle of cinnamon into your Frothing Pitcher. Stick it under the frother and let it foam up and steam your milk. I use this Temperature Gadget and stick it in the milk. It will tell me how hot it’s getting. I wait until it says 120. That seems to be the perfect amount. You can use this Frothing Wand or this Frothing Wand with a steamer. If you don’t use one that heats it up, heat up your milk mix over stove top, or microwave until heated. Then froth it with your wand.

STEP 3: POUR IT IN. Add in about 1 cup of brewed coffee into a large MUG, about 20oz. You want to make room for the frothed goodness.. Then add your Milk Mix on top and slowly pour it in.

THATS IT. So easy once you have all your gadgets and devices. I make this probably twice a day. Helps me dominate all my daily tasks and gets me through that afternoon slump. I also drink it more as an afternoon treat. Helps kick the sugar cravings.

I added my creamer in this GLASS CONTAINER and some goes for my Almond Milk, it makes the fridge look more organized. I drink my milk pretty quick, so I don’t have to worry about expiration dates. It’s gone in a week, sometimes just a few days.
