To counteract this, pair it 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 truly caffeine-free?
Yes, it is made with decaffeinated coffee, meaning the caffeine has been removed. However, trace amounts (typically 2-15 mg per serving) may remain, which is negligible for most people.
Why is the sugar content so high?
The sugar comes from added sweeteners in the coffee base, chocolate syrup or powder, and often from the whipped cream topping. The decaffeination process does not affect sugar levels.
Can I make a healthier version at home?
Absolutely. Blend decaf coffee with ice, unsweetened cocoa powder, a small amount of milk or a milk alternative, and a natural sweetener like a date or a dash of maple syrup. Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt instead of whipped cream.
