Iced Coffee with Milk (1 Can (10 Fl Oz))

Choose unsweetened iced coffee and avoid flavored syrups, liquid sugar, sweetened creamers, and whipped toppings.

Ask for a smaller size or dilute the drink with extra ice or water to reduce the total milk and sugar load.

Use unsweetened milk or a lower-sugar alternative such as unsweetened almond milk; check labels because some oat and plant milks contain added sugars.

Have the coffee with a protein- and fiber-rich snack, such as a boiled egg with a small handful of almonds, rather than drinking it on an empty stomach.

Drink the coffee after or alongside a balanced meal instead of as a standalone sweet drink.

Take a 10–15 minute easy walk after finishing the coffee to help reduce the rise in blood sugar.
