I don't do starbucks really at all but a parent of one of my students recently gave me a $15 gift card. I want to use it but I don't want to get something that will destroy me calorie-wise and I don't like plain coffee. Any starbucks lover's ideas?

    I usually get a skinny caramel macchiato (hot or iced) or a skinny latte of some flavour... and if I'm starving I'll get the 'reduced fat' breakfast sandwich or the egg white/feta/spinach wrap.

    try their shaken tazo tea's they are low cal and they are yummy!

    or you can get a sugar free low fat late'

    you don't have to get a venti you can get a tall to treat yourself.

    go to their website and try to get an idea of what you would like. i think they have a way to put in the calories you want and it shows you what you can have

    good luck!

    Maybe get a bag of coffee to make at home...? That way, you can add whatever you're comfortable with to it and are in control of the calorie count. DH got a similar gift card, and I ended up just getting a bag of espresso. I now make my own hot mochas at home with about 97 calories.
