I have recently founf out that there is a drink that Starbucks came out with again in January, 2007. I have been drinking it all week after surgery. It is fabulous. Tell them you want a: Decaf, nonfat, sugar-free Cinnamin Dolce Latte with no whip cream. I get a grande and handle it very well. I hope this helps the other Starbucks fanatics, like me.

i'm scared of starbucks, i feel like i have to learn a whole new language!!!

now if they'd just come out with non-fat, sugar free, mocha frappuccino! I love frap's but they are SO darn high in fat and calories!!!!!! I wonder if I could get them to make it that way...add splenda instead of sugar...skim milk...cocoa powder....OK...I need to STOP!!! lol

Yummy Yummy! I went out and got the non-fat, no whip, sugar free, cinnamon dolce latte after reading this thread. My first starbucks since being banded. I couldn't even finish the tall but boy was it yummy!!

I love the nonfat, sugar free cinnamon dolce , no whipped, iced. Try it cold. You will love it.

Hey, Thanks for the tip. Man I love Starbucks! My mouth is watering thinking about it right now. Is Grande a bit big of a size to drink though? I drink the tall size which is the smallest one. Susannah

Actually, a "short" is the smallest Starbucks size. They don't have it on the menu board...you have to ask for it, but it is an 8 oz serving...just right post-band.

I was a long term "Venti" vanilla latte drinker (that's the 20 oz size), and since being banded I have started ordering a "short" and it find it is more than enough...usually enjoyed over an hour or so.

I have a Starbucks 3-4 times a week as my Breakfast. A grande sugar-free vanilla non-fat latte packs 16 grams of Protein into 160 calories! Not to mention it gives you nearly half the Calcium you need for the day.

Just stay away from the blended frappucino drinks. Belive it or not, I've only had one frappucino in my life! They're packed with calories and sugars so I try and stay away...

I put a teaspoon of instant coffee, my protein shake, fresh and frozen fruit, benefiber, and flax seed oil in a blender. It's not sexy, but it tastes great and gets me going.

i was a big starbuck fan and still like the occasional fraps on hot days, but now i love the new macdonalds coffee. man it is yumm. i like a little cream and im good to go. i get a large everyday.... have you tried it yet.....

Hey Betsy Jane,

I like the idea of making something like your drink and saving some $$. What is the recipe for your drink please?
