Starbucks! Anyone Addicted?

I drink Starbucks regularly. The various things I do to insure they are low calorie are:

Never order Venti unless it's an unsweetened iced tea or coffee. I order Tall or Grande.

Order coffee, not a latte, etc. I get the Cafe Misto a lot. It's steamed milk with coffee. Tastes close to a latte, but way less calories and money.

Order a cappuccino. Excellent strong coffee taste withe far fewer calories than a latte. One of my favorite drinks.

If you drink milk, have skim milk versions of your drinks. I have to use soy, but skim is great for those that can handle regular milk.

Never get whipped cream.

Make it a point to check out their website for the low calorie drinks. They are good about posting all their nutrition information.

I used to be a HUGE starbucks fan - but I quit coffee completely while I was pregnant and for the first few months of nursing. Now that I'm back to coffee - I prefer a yummy organic blend made in a french press at home. I'm addicted to the sugar free coffeemate - but I'm no longer a slave to the starbucks empire! Not to mention I HATE their new logo!

French press coffee at home FTW!

I don't go there often since their drinks are so inconsistent. I hate when they just taste burnt. When I do go, I love the skinny cinnamon dolce latte. It's 90 cals for a tall.

Personally, I hate Starbucks... the coffee tastes awful, in my opinion. Their fancier items with tons of sugar and syrup taste good of course, but I just can't get past paying $5 for something that will most definitely put me over my daily calories... it's a lose-lose situation.

Yes. Their coffee tastes like burned assnuggets.

As far as their sugary drinks go, I prefer the McDonald's versions. They taste better and are cheaper. Still high-cal, so they are definitely rare treats.
