Starbucks skinny lattes- am I the last one to know?

Someone this weekend said that the skinny cinnamon dolce latte had 180 calories. I was shocked!  So, I went to the Starbucks site and looked at the nutrition info.  If you skip the whipped topping you can get a tall for 90 calories.  But, the cool thing is that all the skinny lattes have 9 grams of protein and about 300mg of calcium!  Kind of makes the 90 calories seem worthwhile for an occasional treat.  If I wasn't so cheap I would do it more often!

I have maintained for one year at this point.  I am steady at -120 pounds.  =)

I didn't know any of that.  I knew it had calories because of the skim milk.  I don't think mine has ever had whipped cream on it.  I hope anyway!  Good to know that there is some protein in there!  Yay!

I consider skinny lattes a protein source.  Skip the whip-it's loaded with fat and calories.  I do have to watch them becoming a habit-you get soooo much done if you don't stop; and eat......

Heather, the only sugar is what is in the milk.  They make them with sugar free syrup.  Yummers!

That's a lot of protein in that latte~ I didn't even realize it.  I gave up coffee 7 mos ago when I found out I was preggie.  Might have to get one once in a while after I give birth just for the protein in it.
