OT: What is your favorite Starbucks drink?
Before surgery I HATED coffee! Never bought Starbucks. Well, the past month I have been a Starbucks crazed woman! It's the only caffeine that I drink of which coffee is allowed on my plan. Just curious if anyone out there has any favorite drinks. My all time fav that I seem to be hooked on now is a skinny iced caramel macchiato. It's only 100 calories and 8g protein and its delicious. I tell them to go light on the caramel drizzle. I don't need those calories. I have maybe 2 a week but it hits the spot and for some reason now i love coffee. Weird.

Skinny Peppermint Mocha. All sugar free. No whip. No chocolate shavings. Delish! Only calories are from the skim milk so you get the protein without the guilt :) It doesn't show up on the menu after the holidays but if you ask for it they will still make it for you.

Skinny drinks are "no sugar added" with Sugar Free syrup - not sugar free.
Tall is 100 calories - 11gm sugar - 10 gm protein
Grande is 130 calories - 13 grams sugar & 13 grams protein
Venti is 170 calories - 18 grams sugar & 16 grams protien
Liquid calories. I'm not saying don't do it but if you are on 1000 or 1200 calories a day - you need to fit it in to make sure you are getting necessary nutrients for bariatric guidelines.
I don't have a Starbucks near me, and not a coffee person - but I occasionally get a Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Latte made with organic soy milk (I'm milk intolerant). As a rule - I try not to drink calories but that is just me.

I usually get a skinny vanilla latte. Hot if it's cold out, iced if it's hot out.

I'm to cheap to do Starbucks very often. Sometimes I buy a bag of coffee from them for my Dad when I go see him and Mom. For the money I think Mcdonalds makes a pretty good cup of coffee and the best part is it's cheap.

I buy a venti black, one pump of sugar free peppermint mocha OR sugar free caramel...any more than that and it is too much for me, but I think 6 pumps in a venti is normal. I put 1/3 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk from home in it. FAB!! I drink a pot a day at home. Coffee nut!
