To counteract this, pair the drink with a source of protein or healthy fat (like a handful of nuts) to slow sugar absorption, and practice portion control by opting for a smaller serving size.

FAQ
Is this drink suitable for vegans?
It can be, if the non-dairy milk used is plant-based (like almond, soy, or oat) and the whipped cream is also a non-dairy alternative. Always check the specific product ingredients for animal-derived additives.
How does the sugar content affect energy levels?
With over 10g of sugar per 100g, it can cause a quick energy boost followed by a potential crash. Consuming it with fiber or protein can help moderate this effect.
Can I make a lower-sugar version at home?
Yes, you can reduce sugar by using unsweetened non-dairy milk, a sugar-free coffee syrup, and topping with a small amount of whipped cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt for creaminess without added sugar.
