If the thought of a hot peppermint mocha latte or an iced snickerdoodle macchiato makes your mouth water, we've got great news for your taste buds and your waistline: Millions of 'proffee' lovers are using flavored protein shakes, zero-sugar syrups and ordinary java to make amped-up versions of our favorite seasonal beverages - drinks that are equal parts fun, energizing and slimming. Sip one in place of your usual breakfast or lunch, and you flood your body with nutrients "that are vital to brain function, overall health and faster fat loss," says Columbia-trained nutrition expert and A-List Diet author Fred Pescatore, MD.
