If you are out doing some holiday shopping, you might just stop by a local Starbucks for a quick pick-me-up. Green tea is a great option, and is calorie free if you don’t add any milk or sugar. But chances are you will be longing for the “velvety mouthfeel” of a premium drink like the espresso truffle
Not a problem, just make sure you run four and a half miles to counteract that grande espresso truffle with whipped cream at 460 calories. Yowie!
(Note: my calculations figure about 100 calories per mile burned for a 150-pound person. If you want a more exact number, use the calorie burner tool below. Keep running, friends. It’s a great way to stay on top of all this holiday eating!)
