Starbucks..what do you order??



Recommended Posts

Jachut- That is such an interesting perspective! I notice lots more people taking their drinks to go. In NY the Starbucks' cup is almost a form of fashion accessory, with everybody schelping one around (myself included).You can tell the season by the type of cup in everyones hand. I even noticed that they started to make a reusable form of their clear plastic cup made out of durable plastic and are selling it for $14.

I don't usually do Starbucks, but the other day I got an iced coffee (black coffee on ice) and it was $2.79. Robbery.

By the way, Jachut, I agree on both the gum chewing and the slurping from a huge paper cup.

Not a coffee drinker, but I am quite fond of my venti low-fat green tea frappucino, no whip!

Somone did you wrong!! I don't even pay for the for my double shot over ice - think maybe 1.89 which is still robbery.

This is my favorite and I only have it about twice a month: Venti iced house coffee with 5 pumps of white chocolate mocha.

Venti not grande

I love green tea frappacinos but they are really fattening.

I saw someone get one of those the other day - it was frozen. I'm so tempted but I heard they are high in everything - fat, calories, and sugar.

Okay, I had to throw in my two cents here....I love the frapps at starbucks...My favorite is strawberries in cream...But when the make it I ask them to make it light, and I always get a tall size (small). Not all starbucks will do it...But the one at my college hooks me up!! I don't do it everyday, but maybe once a month or every two months. Also for a warm drink I like the sugar free skinny latte with carmel and vanilla shots...MMmmm so yummy!

My favorite is a tall non-fat carmel machiatto. I don't really care for the sugar free Syrup. I only go to Starbucks once or month if that often.

When I go, it's the Venti Skinny (nonfat, sugar free, no whipped cream) Mocha, iced, Decaf. 120 cals + I get my milk.

It makes a decent-enough Breakfast in a hurry because you get 10 grams Protein without all the other crap. The only sugars and carbs are from the milk. It's not substantial enough for every day, but it's better thank skipping altogether. And because I get decaf, my hunger isn't goaded into reappearing later.

I heard that they are discontinuing the already-short-lived SF Mocha, so I bought a bottle and have it behind their counter with my name on it. :(

Two other options I like are brewed coffee, either black or with a little nonfat milk, or iced green tea, unsweetened.

I am a Starbucks Junkie!! I use to go every day and at my highest point I was having two venti iced drinks a day. I really like the Skinny latte's either hot or cold. My new craving is the Black Shaken Iced tea with sweet-n-low. I had 3 of them yesterday.....

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
