Death by Starbucks!

do skinny vanilla latte (tall size) or a skinny chi latte ... I think there is around 70 cals in each.

My manager is insisting on buying me something at our Starbucks cafe for helping her out so much... I've tried nicely declining, but she's insisting. I'm not a coffee drinker, or tea... I do like the vanilla bean frap, but I'd rather just not have those added calories in one beverage. HELP! lol I'm so non-confrontational, and she really wants to do this for me... even tho what I've been doing is just part of my job. Do I just go with the smallest size, non-fat milk, no whip and then run all the more this afternoon? Aw, peas! lol

My FAVORITE Starbucks drink is a Venti Shaken Black Iced Tea Lemonaid with splenda! 70 Cals and its DELICIOUS!

They have all sorts of herbal teas and snacks from a yogurt parfait to sandwiches and many non-food items. Maybe go in and get a gift item, like an insulated travel cup?Or one of the CDs? They have a lot of non-food items.

Tazo® Shaken Iced Passion Tea made “skinny” with one serving of sugar-free sweetener* – 0 calories, 0g fat, 0g sugar, 0g protein.
Tazo® Awake™ Tea Latte made “skinny” with one serving of sugar-free sweetener* – 80 calories, 0g fat, 11g sugar (from milk), 8g protein.

Try the passion iced tea with no classic, add 3 splendas :P YUMMMM 0 calories.

I request gift cards when they offer... If I have a day where I can afford the calories - awesome, if not - I give them away...

The office thinks they've been awesome to you and you don't have to confront lol
The gift card will cost exactly the same too... So no extra out of pocket

That's my suggestion anyway

get thelight version of vanilla bean frap in tall size...it would be 100 cals top with very low fat and sugar!!

do skinny vanilla latte (tall size) or a skinny chi latte ... I think there is around 70 cals in each.

the skinny chai is DELICIOUS! you could even order a tall and only drink half of it, if you can resist

Try the Skinny Vanilla Latte

No one should make you eat what you don't. However, my take is that they/he/she are being nice by offering the Starbucks. You can say, "Thanks so much - it's so kind. I generally don't eat/drink that stuff, so maybe we can do something else" (if they're trying to be nice/sociable) or "maybe we can put it towards a group party" (if they're just trying to reward) or even as someone said, "maybe we can just do a gift card" (but I personally would be reactive to that if I were giving something to someone).

Would I use a free something-from-Starbucks? Sure. But I'm not you. If someone offered me a treat at Carvels, I'd have to turn it down because I just don't care for ice cream. Someone offered me an Izzie pop on Friday as a "treat." I picked one, reluctantly, because they offered it, and made them feel good for offering it. I took it home and then offered it to my family. I'm not against sugared pop. It's not poison, just sugary. I just don't care for it. I truly prefer my food calories from something I really LIKE versus something someone's just giving me.

Some of them offer food - you could have her buy you breakfast (check calories first) I thought I saw something about an eggwhite feta spinach something or other and I believe they have oatmeal too. They also sell small packets of almonds I think. Worst case scenario, they sell bottled water! Good luck!
