With just a few ingredients, this low-calorie coffee drink provides a rich almond flavor without excess sugar or fat, making it a guilt-free indulgence.
Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed coffee (chilled)
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- 1 tablespoon sugar-free almond-flavored syrup (like Torani or Skinny Syrups)
- 1 teaspoon sweetener of choice (such as Stevia or Monk Fruit, optional)
- Ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon fat-free whipped topping (optional)
- ½ tablespoon sliced almonds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Brew a cup of coffee and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or use leftover coffee.
- Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
- Pour the chilled coffee over the ice.
- Add almond milk, almond extract, and sugar-free almond syrup. Stir well.
- If desired, add a teaspoon of sweetener for extra sweetness.
- Top with fat-free whipped topping and garnish with sliced almonds if using.
- Enjoy immediately!
Notes
- You can use decaf coffee if you prefer a caffeine-free version.
- Adjust the level of sweetness according to your taste.
- If you like a stronger almond flavor, increase the almond extract slightly, but be careful—it can be overpowering.
- For a creamier texture, use unsweetened vanilla almond milk.
Tips
- Cold Brew Alternative: For a smoother, less acidic flavor, use cold brew coffee instead of regular brewed coffee.
- Blended Version: Blend all the ingredients with ice for a creamy, slushy-style drink.
- Sweetener Choice: Monk fruit and Stevia are great natural alternatives to artificial sweeteners.
- Extra Protein: Add a splash of Premier Protein vanilla shake instead of almond milk to boost protein intake.

Q: Can I use a different flavored syrup?
A: Absolutely! Try vanilla, caramel, or hazelnut sugar-free syrup for a fun variation.
