Losing weight My Mission

My drug of choice is coffee especially flavored I absolutely love it, whether it's hot or cold but I prefer iced coffee even during the winter. When you purchase a coffee at your local coffee place they have either flavored syrups, those small cups of creamer that are too sweet and before you know it your cup of coffee contains a lot of calories, sugar and fat that we just don't need! I started making coffee at home a lot more now with my Keurig and it tastes just like the kind in a coffeehouse and cheaper too and best of all I get to control what goes in it, yes I use a flavored syrup but just a teaspoon or a little under that.  A little really does go a long way. I like my coffee with almond milk in it as well I use unsweetened vanilla and it tastes great! Don't you wish that there was a way you could enjoy a flavored coffee without adding any fat and calories to your coffee? Well, you can! It's called Inbru and it's the most healthiest and newest pr...
