Starbucks Question!

 Skinny vanilla latte

Strangely, the Very Berry Hibiscus (trenta) has less calories than the skinny latte (vente) and it's really, really freshening and tasty. 

Both the passion tea and the iced black tea are very good.  Occassionally, I will do an iced tea lemonade with either one; however, the lemonade has more sugar than I like.  I use two Spenda in the trenta.  I do not sweeten coffee drinks.

I just get a black pike's peak. I've learned to like coffee straight up black because I didn't want the calories. I don't worry with caffeine much and it's a rare thing. Some people can't do black coffee, but I seem to be just fine with it.

 I get a venti skinny cinnamon dolce latte with 1 Splenda. It has 150 calories and 16 grams of protein.

Works well if you live by the 10/1 ratio (for every 10 calories a food has it needs at least 1 gram of protein) like I do.

I have been meaning to try different drinks, but I just haven't been too adventurous since I was sleeved...just kind of stick to what works. Lol

I'm not big on coffee, I mostly like coffee with my milk and sugar... do you think this is something I'd like? I like the protein amount...

Iced coffee with either SF Vanilla or Caramel and 2 Splenda (for grande) and some half and half. I mostly track carbs via my doctor not calories so half and half is no big deal. Plus I'm 3 months out and almost never hit 700 calories/day.

I also will do a Venti Iced Green Tea with 2 Splenda.

I have gotten a tall skinny coffee frappuccino breve once when I was splurging. You can also add any SF syrup to it with no issues.

I like the coffee and tea, though, because it's free refills with your gold card. I'm a consultant and always at Sbux lol.

skinny caramel macchiato. Tall 12 oz is 100 calories, Grande 16 oz is 140 calories and Venti 20 oz is 160 calories, so it is skim milk and sugar free syrup.. delicious..Most of the calories are from the milk!! You can get it decaf but I only get one once every few weeks so I get the expresso version!!! Good luck.

If I want cold I will get a venti skinny iced coffee w/ SF van or Carmel  with some skim milk. if I want hot I will get a venti skinny latte with protein (yes they have protein powder if you were not aware) it's like 50 cents. If I am really sleepy I will get a shot of espresso in it also.

I don't get a coffee every day but like 3-4 days a week.

 Starbucks hasa nutrition calculator you can use on their site and in their apps.  You can put together any drink you want and find te caloric intake.

Basic guidelines - decaf and nothing with Latte in the name.

My absolute regular drink is a Grande Soy Misto.  (Now keep in mind I'm in maintenance.)  During weight loss phase I got non-fat (skim) misto which is coffee and steamed milk.  I add my own SF syrup (I don't care for their SF syrups) and Truvia to sweeten.  Most of the calories and carbs are in the milk.  Now that I'm no****ching carbs, I much prefer the soy milk!

When ordering iced coffee or tea, make sure you tell them no added sugar (unless you order skinny) because they do add sweetener to their iced coffee!

I also love me a soy latte, but it's way more milk, so more calories!
