Fall is arguably the coziest season, the crisp air prompting us to throw on a favorite sweatshirt or blanket and settle in with a good book and warm beverage in hand. Perhaps that\u2019s why it\u2019s a popular time for flavored coffee drinks \u2014 pumpkin spice latte, anyone?!<\/p>\n
While the PSL and similar beverages may be delicious, many options also tend to lean heavy on the sugar and artificial flavors. That doesn\u2019t need to be the case: With a few strategic swaps, you can still honor your healthy habits while enjoying seasonal treats.<\/p>\n
We asked a few Life Time team members and healthy-living enthusiasts at Life Time to share how they order their favorite coffee beverage from the LifeCafe in the fall. Take inspiration and try one of these curations at your local LifeCafe! (Certain ingredients may vary depending on the LifeCafe location.)<\/p>\n
Mercedes Morones, LifeCafe leader at Life Time in Shenandoah, Texas<\/em><\/p>\n At the LifeCafe at Life Time Shenandoah, we recently started making a take on a \u201cdulce de leche,\u201d (thanks to Constanza Macias, our LifeCafe barista who created it!) which consists of cinnamon roll LTH Prime Collagen Peptides<\/a>, double espresso, oat milk, and one pump each of vanilla and caramel flavoring. (The vanilla and caramel syrup are Monin products with no artificial ingredients or preservatives.)<\/p>\n This drink combines comfort, sweetness, and a boost of nourishment from the collagen protein. The velvety \u201cdulce de leche\u201d (oat milk and flavorings) melts into the freshly brewed espresso creating a golden, caramel-kissed richness. The collagen dissolves seamlessly into the warm liquid, adding body and cinnamon taste while also supporting skin, hair, nails, and joints<\/a>. The aroma is warm and buttery, and the flavor is smooth with notes of caramelized milk and roasted coffee.<\/p>\n Christopher Pica, LifeCafe lead at Life Time Middletown \u2013 Red Bank in Middletown, N.J.<\/em><\/p>\n My go-to order is a cold brew with almond milk, two packs of stevia, two pumps of sugar-free vanilla syrup, a dash of cinnamon, and LTH Power Creatine<\/a>. This drink is a perfect midmorning or early afternoon pick-me-up. Plus, I find it helps curb my appetite some.<\/p>\n Erica Speranza, director of operations for the LifeCafe at Life Time<\/em><\/p>\n This year we added cold foam to our coffee offerings and that\u2019s been my new favorite! I order a vanilla-flavored cold brew with spiced brown sugar cold foam on top \u2014 it\u2019s delicious!<\/p>\n The cold foam is a frothy and creamy topping for iced coffee drinks that\u2019s made by whipping cold milk with a sweet syrup of your choice. We\u2019ll soon be offering protein cold foam (which has 21 grams of protein!) and when that rolls out, I\u2019m looking forward to ordering a protein-packed cold-foam-topped latte.<\/p>\n Stephanie Koperski, director of LifeCafe development at Life Time<\/em><\/p>\n My go-to drink in the morning is an oat milk latte with vanilla LTH Prime Collagen Peptides<\/a>. It\u2019s the perfect balance of comfort and fuel \u2014 the taste is smooth and lightly sweet, and it\u2019s packed with protein to keep me energized. I love that it includes collagen, which supports healthy skin, hair, nails, and joints. It\u2019s my favorite way to start the day feeling both nourished and ready to go.<\/p>\n Anika Christ, RD, CPT, senior director of Life Time Health<\/em><\/p>\n I order an Americano with a scoop of the cinnamon roll LTH Prime Collagen Peptides<\/a>, and then leave room for a little half-and-half. I love it because it delivers a good serving of protein (19 grams), gives me a seasonal dessert-like treat (without any added sugar), and is a perfect pick-me-up without the energy crash that many of the other coffee-shop drinks give me.<\/p>\n The post 5 Ways to Elevate Your Fall Coffee Order<\/a> appeared first on Experience Life<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fall is arguably the coziest season, the crisp air prompting us to throw on a favorite sweatshirt or blanket and settle in with a good book and warm beverage in hand.
