Tip: Better Gas Station Coffee
amy March 27th, 2007
One of my guilty pleasures is gas station cappuccinos. There’s just something I love about burning hot water mixed with coffee-flavored sugar powder for $1.29. According to Dottie’s Weight Loss Zone, that 20 ounce cappuccino I usually get could have as many as 400 Calories and 12 grams of fat!
These days when I do stop and get a cheapo cappuccino, I fill my 20 ounce up with half cappuccino and then top it off with their darkest coffee. The coffee helps to tame the sweetness of the cappuccino, and the cappuccino helps give the usually bland gas station coffee more flavor and add sweetness and creamer to it. By going halfsies, you get a more grown-up tasting coffee for only half the Calories. Try it sometime!
