AmandaRaeLeo 2,146 Posted May 11, 2013 I was actually looking into trying their coffee drinks and was looking for sugar free flavors. I decided to peruse through their menu and came across a tasty, Protein high, reasonable carbs, and portion friendly Breakfast. It took me about an hour to finish it. And it was yum! I don't plan to make it a daily or even weekly event. But it's nice to know a decent Breakfast on the fly isn't limited to a Protein bar!

newat52 1,613 Posted May 11, 2013 Yes, whodda thunk it? Some of the places you would think would be post op suicide can actually be some of our best friends! Starbucks for example, they have a egg white, spinach and feta breakfast wrap. Un wrap it from the tortilla and you have Protein nirvana! Yummy too! McDonalds, grilled chicken ceasar salad, same exact salad, every time, every place down to the 4, yes exactly 4 cherry tomatoes. Great lunch, I eat the chicken and .5 oz of shredded parm, the 4, exactly 4 tomatoes and I am good to go. Did I mention, they have 4, exactly 4 of those little cherry tomatoes in every grilled chicken ceasar salad, every day in every McDonalds? I think I want the job of Tomato quality inspector for them. I can count to 4! I guess it goes to show if we look just a little, healthy stuff have been among us for sometime. 6 ProudGrammy, AmandaRaeLeo, kimbernada and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luvlvnlyfe5 48 Posted May 13, 2013 Feta and goat cheese are my favorite!!!! I love the spinach wrap at Starbucks can't wait to have it again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmandaRaeLeo 2,146 Posted May 13, 2013 I made my own version of Dunkin Donuts' wrap this morning. Mine had 50 or 60 more calories but more than double the Protein and about half the carbs. It was yummy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Next weigh in is this coming Saturday. I need to get measured ago too. Down from a 28 jeans to a 24, sometimes a snug 22. 1 Wags reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only thing it lacked was feta. 1 Fiddleman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NurseGrace 509 Posted June 11, 2013 Yep. People like to demonize one place over others or whatever but the reality is you can get something reasonable almost anywhere, we just don't. 1 AmandaRaeLeo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
