Coffee creamer is a staple in many people’s diets, but they might not realize how it can impact their health and weight. Many coffee creamers are high in calories, fat, and sugar. With that in mind, having these ingredients on a regular basis could lead to weight gain.
If you want to watch your weight without resorting to black coffee, keep reading for the coffee creamer hack you should try this week for weight loss.
Specifically, adding protein to your morning coffee ritual can have huge benefits. According to Annessa Chumbley, registered dietitian and nutritionist, “The benefits of protein for weight loss are endless!"
She explains, "By adding protein to your morning routine, you are effectively jump-starting your metabolism. Because protein helps to keep you feel fuller for longer, a protein-rich breakfast can reduce appetite and hunger throughout the day."
It can also help you preserve lean muscle, "In addition to satiating hunger, protein is especially beneficial in preserving lean muscle mass during weight loss.”
With that in mind, replacing your usual coffee creamer with a protein shake form Premier Protein, “One of the easiest way to add protein into your diet is by swapping your coffee creamer with a Premier Protein Shake. Not only do they taste so good it’s hard to believe they’re actually good for you, but each shake also contains 30 grams of protein, 1 gram of sugar and 160 calories."
Her recommendation? She tells SheFinds, "My personal go-to during the spring and summer months is a cup of iced coffee with a caramel Premier Protein Shake!”
Their vanilla flavor is another delicious option to add to your coffee. Plus, they now offer a Cafe Latte flavor packs in the caffeine equivalent of one cup of coffee.
Premier Protein Shake - Caramel ($7.99)
Premier Protein Shake - Vanilla ($7.99)
