    ugh!!! i can never say no to starbucks! fortunately though, i like the iced sugar free vanilla coffees and i add skim milk and splenda to it - so it only sets me back about 50-70 calories! it's so worth it... even if i really do want to get an iced white chocolate mocha!

    mmmmmmmm i'm going today!

    mint mocha chip frap.

    instead of giving myself a "cheat day" I go out for coffee once a week and get whatever I want. It helps me stave off cravings and keeps me 'on the wagon' so to say. :laugh:

    Wow it is scary how many of us love, truly love, Starbucks....I am with the others on the sugar free syrup, that is why I go, I can get splenda with plain cofee at home, but sugar free syrup, skim milk and espresso in a grande all for about 200 cal...yum, plus I need to get my dairy in somehow.

    well this may not help much depending on what you like but the lite frappachino's (tall) w/o whip are only 180cal. which is a lot for just a drink (but not too much for your sanity!) I can be a little :devil: if I don't have my coffee.

    Hmm. I got a tall skinny chai latte at 150 calories.

    I didn't even feel guilty!

    A lot of people have recommended "tall/skinny" drinks and I second that rec. I absolutely couldn't live without my mocha fix so I went from my regular grande cafe mocha (200+ calories) to a tall skinny mocha (90.) Its every bit as scrumptious as the original.

    A tip when ordering: specify that you'd like your coffee without whip - sometimes well-meaning baristas will include it even in skinny drinks. I ordered an iced version the other day and got lots of attention when I spun around and dumped this mountain of whipped cream into the garbage. Worth it to keep the calories down, though.

    How are the calories on those? Are they pretty slimmed down?

    I used to work and Starbucks and many of their drinks can pack a punch to your calories for the day. It is about selecting the right kind of drink. I can't go without a starbucks at least 4 times a week. So, what I do is preplan by going to www.starbucks.com. If you look under the nutritional tab you can "design" you drink. i.e. type of milk, size, etc. Also, always go with non-fat milk, it really cuts the calories down. Fraps are already made with skim milk, but try to get only a small or a grande sans whip.

    P.S. Don't get their pastries. If people knew how much calories and fat were in them...... they would think twice about purchasing.

    Tall nonfat latte for me, one a day.

    Starbucks offers mistos and brewed coffee in an 8-oz size now! Hooray for the return of the 8-oz coffee! Maybe this means that 6-oz (the original serving size for coffee) will be back, too!

    If you want Starbucks to offer other drinks in 8-oz sizes, write to them about it! They will offer it if you will buy it ... Just be prepared for it to cost more per ounce. I'm willing to accept that.

    A lot of markets are selling the syrups that Starbuck's uses. I usually go to some place like World's Market and get any flavor in sugar free and just make my own drinks at home. This makes it easier to measure the amount of coffee/espresso, syrup, milk/h&h/cream, and sugar.

    I miss my Starbucks! Its been 5 months since I had coffee from their. Are their tea's good for you?

    For a good black tea I get their Awake hot tea. Add your own cream or sugar or honey :smile:
    Their China Green is really good green tea. And my favorite summer drink is their Grande iced black tea - two pumps (about 40 calories) Yummmm :flowerforyou:

    Not sure about Starbucks, but after Afghanistan, I really like Chai!

    I would get the 12 oz Vanilla Chai Latte with Double Expresso!!!

    LOVED It! I am worried how many calories were actually in the Latte... but hey! I only had one or two a day!
