I've already learnt something: my cafe late had more calories than the banana and grapefruit juice I had with it! Short blacks from now on.

    Oh, absolutely. Tonight I was debating whether I wanted a beer (not something I get often as a college campus EMS crew chief--can't drink on call!) or a red velvet latte. The beer would have been 150, the latte 180 if I had a small with skim milk.

    I wound up having neither--had a pot of green rooibos tea and some Toblerone instead.

    I still drink my cafe lattes... but I always get a small (tall) with skim milk. It brings the calorie count down, and I can't tell the difference. I also don't use any sugar.

    Periodically I'll treat myself to one of the 'fancy' lattes if I'm shopping and on my feet, but even then I ask them to just use half of the amount of pumped syrup, no whip.

    I'm usually not one for 'altering' my favourite foods to be 'skinny' (ie: using low fat cheese), but lattes weren't something I was willing to give up! :)

    Have you tried genmai cha? Green tea with roasted rice....has a lovely depth of flavour.
