Cool Down with Costa Coffee
With the temperatures refusing to behave like they’re in Manchester, an iced coffee is feeling less like a treat and more like a necessity.
Costa Coffee has just launched its new high-protein lattes, each packed with 23g of protein. Whether you’re squeezing in a gym session, powering through a shopping trip or simply looking for something cold, they’re well worth adding to your order.
