Coffee
October 2020
Instead of cappuccino or a milky latte we now prefer to have an americano coffee with cream. As well as tasting decadent, rich and downright delicious it will fill you up for longer and you can feel good knowing that contains less carbs. Breakfast often doesn’t happen in our house but if we want to keep going until lunch, we might have a small handful of nuts or dark chocolate with a coffee.
Ingredients - Serves 1

2 teaspoons double cream

25g (1oz) nuts such as pecans and walnuts
