Sugary coffee drinks, like vanilla lattes or caramel macchiatos, are off limits. "Sugary coffee drinks have more sweetener and cream than actual coffee, and many of them have more sugar and calories than a bowl of cereal," says Natalie Rizzo, MS, RD, to POPSUGAR. "A latte in itself is not so bad for you — milk actually offers plenty of protein to start your day — but the syrups that give the drinks flavor are loaded with sugar and calories. They will likely spike your blood sugar, and you will crash and feel superhungry midmorning," she says.
Instead, try 100 percent grape juice. "It's an especially good choice in the morning because it's an excellent source of antioxidant vitamin C, which supports a healthy immune system. Not to mention that the concord grape and its juice support a healthy heart by promoting healthy circulation — which keeps your blood pumping and energy flowing throughout the day," she says.
