What do you get at starbucks?

[kjhack 3]

Hey all! I am 4 wks post op and doing well. My office goes on a starbucks run every Friday afternoon. I havent participated since before surgery, because I don't know what to get. Any ideas? I love chocolate.... Thanks in advance.:w00t::drool:

I used to get a grande frappuccino with an add shot and no whipped cream.

Now, I get nothing. :w00t:

Sorry, I am of no help but here's where you can look up the nutrition/calories stuff. :drool:

they have skinny lattes that contain Protein. my favorite is the cinnamon dolce.

I was getting a Skinny Venti French vanilla Latte with an extra shot of coffee. If you are lacking in the Protein side you can ask for a shot of Protein which is the whey powder.

Every Friday I get a Starbucks double-shot on ice with a shot of energy.

Lol, nothing. Sweet coffees like that is a habit I dont need. Actually Starbucks havent done well in Australia, I think they're actually closing down. I like a lot more European style coffee, like a flat white or a real latte - which is just a little glass with 1/3 espresso and 2/3 steamed milk - not sweet at all. Luckily that's mostly what coffee is here - its really only Starbucks and Gloria Jeans that do the more American style stuff so I havent found it too hard to resist. I've just been raised to not drink calories so I avoid stuff like that and soda etc without a second thought - its a life habit.

Still fit plenty of bad calories in in more solid form though!

I guess as long as you realise its as many calories as a MEAL and you account for it though you can indulge yourself. Surely you can find the nutritional info for all the products online?

well,,, if i have starbucks...which is once every couple weeks (now i want one ) i get a grande iced nonfat chai latte with a shot of enery extra chai...im so baddd

[ckelly37 1]

non fat skinny latte!! no whip

[jmegirl 2]

i've always just gotten the chai tea. gosh i love that stuff. but now i think i'll try that cinnamon dolce skinny latte thing you're talkin about! :drool: gonna go compare calories...

EDIT: when you say skinny, do you mean nonfat milk? also, do you ask for sugar-free Syrup? it says a tall cinnamon dolce latte with nonfat milk and sugar-free syrup is only 90 calories!!!

Well, my Starbucks pre-op fave was a white mocha nonfat no whip. However, post op, I don't like the taste of it any more. I didn't realize my taste buds would change with the surgery, but they have.

Don't do Starbucks runs much these days (weaning off caffeine) but when I do it's a grande non-fat half-caf latte. That's pre-op. Post-op, if I go, I'll probaby do the same, but make it "short" instead. Only 68 calories in a short vs. 136 in a grande.

I usually get a tall non-fat, no-whip mocha. 170 calories, and 10 grams of Protein. I have that for Breakfast once or twice a week.

Well I try to stay away from chocolate, but a really good healthy latte that you can get almost anywhere is a sugar free caramel skim milk latte- SO GOOD! They do actually have Sugar Free Chocolate too. The syrups are just made with splenda. But as long as you don't get too many lattes a day, it is pretty good... its mostly the calories in the skim milk that you have to pay attention to. Skim milk- 90 calories for 1 cup. Also when it gets warm again, a "light frappuncino" is good... again they use spenda in the mix and there is no whip cream. Can you tell I used to work for a coffee shop?
