Starbucks Protein boxes



Recommended Posts

My weight watches friends only take the veggie bistro box. I was wondering if the Protein bistro boxes are good for bandsters, if a person tracks the calories in their daily intake.

For those of you not familiar they are pre packaged (which I like to grab on hectic days), includes natural peanutbutter (80 calories), a hard boiled peeled egg, 2 triangles of cheese, grapes, apples and a small pita (I think whole wheat). I think 240 calories total. Maybe 340. I can check on myfitness pal or on the box the next time I see one.

Here are the questions I was wondering others opinions...

Are they high in sodium?

Would once a week be too often to have one?

How would you spread out the portion size as the most you would eat?(all in one meal, a meal and a snack, 2 meals)

What is the worst thing about them?

Would you chose a difft bistro box over this one? Why?

...If you are totally against Starbucks, that's different, I mean for people who are open to Starbucks.

Try it. Everyone is different. It might be more than 1 meal for me.

Everything is ok as long as it isn't in excess.

I agree with post above ... And frequently get the Protein box. I usually don't eat the eggs, cuz I only eat hard boiled eggs from home, but the rest is pretty good and I split it up into lunch and a small snack about 3-4 hours later. They're a little pricey, but good on the go!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
