    I used to get pumpkin spice lattes or caramel macchiatos. I don't do that very often anymore. I prefer to eat my calories :smile:

    I'm the opposite! I love good drinks! I'll save calories or work out extra just for a yummy coffee or tea! lol

    Right now I'm having a small banana and a tall 2% latte with sugar free vanilla as my homework snack. I find it pretty manageable to fit in if I want it.

    If you know what to order, coffee drinks are easy to budget for. Tall nonfat milk caramel macchiato from Starbucks is only 180 calories, and has a decent amount of protein!

    Venti nonfat caramel machiato. Only 270 cals, can't give it up. My dog is named after this beverage. If I get it, I often make it my snack for the day, as its high in protein for a drink.

    Why in the world would one give up coffee? I mean, I get why you'd question those liquid dessert drinks, but coffee?

    I don't even consider that a guilty pleasure.

    I've always had Starbucks as just an occasional treat mostly because I'm cheap. :stuck_out_tongue:

    Current splurge is a Pumpkin Spice Latte "as skinny as you can make it". But darn it's hard limiting myself to a Grande when a Venti is just a few cents more.

    I love Starbucks! And I adore chai tea lattes. I also just love a plain coffee latte and make them at home as well. Using skim milk and splenda, of course.

    I go between three, skinny cinnamon dolce, skinny caramel macchiato, or skinny vanilla latte. usually grande, less than 200 each for ventis.

    Anybody try the peppermint mocha? Is it good? I wonder if they'll make it white mocha... hmm... :smirk:

    I used to feel good about getting a venti Toffee Nut Latte with skimmed milk and no whipped cream for 230 calories, but then I realised the sugar count was 39 grams. And even for the tall, it's around 24 grams. I don't have the willpower to cut Starbucks out altogether, so I only have flavoured lattes once in a while now. It's all about making tweaks to fit in what you love into your diet.

    I had one on Thursday. It made my taste buds a little sad actually. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it wasn't everything I was hoping it would be.

    Yes you can ask for 2 pumps of white mocha and 2 pumps of peppermint.


    I've been getting Pumpkin Spice Lattes the last few times just to enjoy it while I can. I used to work at Starbucks so I have quite a few things I like.

    Salted Caramel Mocha
    Caramel Brulée Latte
    Caramel Apple Spice
    Chai Latte (no water)
    Blended Strawberry Lemonade
    Green Tea Lemonade

    And a "secret menu" item for those times when you REALLY need a pick-me-up ... The Undertow. Our store floated the milk on top of the espresso shots to keep from burning your throat (a couple of quad undertows helped me to my shift record of 18 shots of espresso).

    Triple grande skinny hazelnut latte. Drinking one right now, actually...only 120 calories so I don't feel like it's an "indulgence".
    Looking forward to the return of the peppermint mocha; it's the only time of year I can get sugar free peppermint syrup in my latte. =)
