To my knowledge if it is below 50 calories and without sugar it will not break your fast.

Thank you twiggy, good news a couple of mugs keeps me happy so I can stay away from food until lunch time.

That’s what keeps me going until 1pm 😆, I even switched to unsweetened almond milk. I don’t follow 5-2 though, I am on keto. But intermittent fasting principals are the same.
