Healthy Iced Coffee for a Hot Day: Only 25 Calories

Preview: Healthy iced coffee is made with coffee concentrate and unsweetened cashew milk. This low-calorie latte checks in at only 25 calories.

I drink this iced coffee every single day in the summertime after lunch. It’s refreshing and fills me up at the same time. In the winter, I make a version of the same thing, without ice, heated in a mug.

How do you make coffee concentrate?

I like Pioneer Woman’s recipe for Perfect Iced Coffee. Make a huge container if you want one every day. The concentrate will stay fresh in the fridge for 2-3 weeks.

What’s the secret to this healthy iced coffee?

Unsweetened cashew milk. Have you tried it? I prefer it over almond milk. Unsweetened cashew milk has fewer calories (25 per cup), and I like the flavor better, too.

Of course, you can adapt this recipe to your tastes, including using the nut milk of your choice (remembering that the calorie count may be different).

Since I drink this in the afternoon, I’ve got to have decaf. The amounts listed are only suggestions. Suit yourself.

I usually eat some Spicy Dark Chocolate Pecan Bark with my latte. It’s a great way to finish off my salad lunch.

Ingredients

Cook ModePrevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

 

• Fill Mason quart jar at least half full of ice.
• Add water to 1-cup line.
• Add coffee concentrate to 2-cup line. Add a little more or less according to how strong you like your coffee.
• Add cashew milk.
• If desired, stir in an artificial sweetener of choice in the amount you require. (I like one package of Trader Joe’s Stevia.) You could use granulated sugar or honey, but your drink will be more than 25 calories.
• Stir and enjoy.

Notes

My coffee of choice at the moment is Hazelnut Decaf but you can use any ground coffee you prefer. I buy the beans from Winco in my area and grind them before I leave the store. To 12 ounces of coffee, I add 6 quarts of water. Stir it up well and let it sit on the counter for 12-24 hours. Strain through a cheesecloth or large, commercial-size coffee filter. Store in the refrigerator for 3-4 weeks.
