    Chai Latte - skinny. I would only get one every 2 months so I dont care about the calorie/fat content though

    I like a Skinny Vanilla Latte or an Iced Carmel Macchiato...I don't get them often, just as treats!

    Ditto!!

    I think black coffee might be your only option. =\

    I'd try to stay away! If possible politely ask for gift cards to somewhere else like Trader Joes or Whole Foods!

    Iced grande non-fat no whip 2 pump mocha(or pumpkin spice latte during the holidays). Using half the syrup, non-fat milk and no whip cream really cuts down on the calories. Using sugar free syrup would cut down a lot too but I don't like it so if I'm gonna go, I'm gonna get the good stuff.

    Lately I have been getting a grande iced carmel macchiato skinny. I get one Starbucks drink a week and that is when I go grocery shopping and I am by myself. That way I don't have to share with the kids or spend an arm and a leg for each of them to have their own drinks. Call me selfish or cheap. I don't care. it is my vice and I deserve it. Then I take my own groceries out to my vehicle and lug them all up the stairs by myself to try and work it off.

    Every morning I get a grande bold roast coffee with soy milk. I depend on Starbucks for morning coffee since I cannot have cows milk.

    Little "tricks" I’ve learned for those occasional afternoon pick-me-ups: order it "unsweetened" (sweetened is sugar water) so you control how much you put in and "skinny" (sugar-free syrup).

    My all time favorite treat is a Skinny Peppermint Mocha Cappuccino (with soy) in the winter and Skinny Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino (with soy) in the summer. Yummy! I still swear they put crack in their coffee - that's why it's SO addictive.

    hot or iced blonde roast with a shot of sugar free vanilla. no cream or milk, the vanilla adds just enough flavor. i've slowly learned to give up my beloved amaretto creamer :)

    I take my own cup with my sugar free creamer pre-measured and just get the new blonde roast. It is not as strong as the regular Pikes blend. Plus if you bring your own cup and have them fill it up, you get $.10 off your order. Bonus!
    I did not know they gave you a discount for using your own cup. Thanks for the info. Also I love your profile pic. I remember seeing my husband in his Dress Blues. They always look great. If only I fit into mine. I will some day.

    A venti or grande nonfat latte. (I don't add sugar. The coffee is naturally sweet.) I prefer the taste of espresso with steamed milk to coffee and regular skim milk, although lately, I've been having coffee with low fat milk at home.

    On days when I'm not watching my calories, I'll have a lemon pound cake slice or a banana bread. Those are killers on my current regime. At least they list the calories.

    Rarely, a mocha frappucino with whipped cream. On a hot day, cool and delicious.


    Go to a nice Starbucks with plenty of open tables on a day when you want to relax for a bit or do some paperwork that is portable.

    I never order anything but a Grande Skinny French Vanilla Latte, although I might have them iced in the summer when it gets really hot out...
    120 cals, 0 grams fat, 12 grams protein...and 1 bajillion grams of deliciousness :laugh:

    Tall bold pick of the day in a grande cup.

    I add skim, cocoa powder and/or vanilla powder.

    If I'm feeling really decadent I add 1/2 sugar in the raw

    I always get a tall americano 10 cals and bring my own light 5% cream.
    If I dont have an americano just a pike or bold and also bring my own cream.

    I get an array of things but my regular choices tend to be:

    Blonde roast with nonfat milk

    Tall nonfat sugarfree hazelnut Tazo chai latte

    Grande nonfat sugarfree iced hazelnut Tazo chai latte (I get a bigger size because half the cup is ice...)

    Coffee. Hot. Black. No sugar.

    Very few calories, and a little potassium which you need if you're working out, plus a little caffeine which is an excellent appetite suppressant.

    You get to use the gift cards and carry around the trendy Starbucks cup (or use some of your gift card money to buy a nice travel mug!) without any significant caloric intake, and some actual health benefits.

    iced grande nonfat caramel machaitto with caramel drizzle on the inside :) yum!

    I think you can get it 'skinny' as well (nonfat syrup), but I never have.
