If you’re trying to follow a heart-healthy diet, we recommend ordering a petite drink, since they’re a bit higher in sodium and saturated fat, but that doesn’t mean you have to give them up entirely. Like most treats, they can find a place in your diet if you eat them in moderation. So while we wouldn’t choose one of these protein coffees *everyday*, they can be a fun, tasty option for the occasional stop at the drive-thru.
