Mocha Coffee Calories

Mocha coffee is a delicious alternative to regular coffee, but many flavored coffees are packed with sugar and calories, especially with a whipped cream topping. Many versions of mocha coffee are available, including hot and iced commercially prepared varieties that have low-fat or nonfat milk ingredients, and instant powders for use at home.
