Ack! Only Starbucks for the weekend

[WorkinOnMe 597]

I usually drink Dunks ... but there are NONE around where we are staying. What's your go-to Starbucks drink?? Preferably hot & caffeine is ok.

tall redeye (dark roast) is my standard. For a treat, tall skinny vanilla latte, tall nonfat flat white or tall nonfat latte macchiato.

[Babbs 14,681]

Tall sugar free almond milk caramel latte.

I'm on the skinny vanilla latte train. Haven't had Starbucks since surgery, though, because I'm supposed to only be on Decaf, and I don't think that's an option for anything but straight up coffee. ::sad trombone::

@@DaisyAmy I voluntarily gave up coffee before surgery but once every two weeks or so I get a Decaf skinny mocha

[Mzdiggs 169]

Decaf skinny macchiato which is new since surgery.

Hot dark roast (Italian or Komodo Dragon). Venti size. 5 splenda packs & cream on the side.

I freaking love this.....pre or post gym time.

I buy the Komodo Dragon whole Beans and grind & brew them at home, too.

I was always a Dunkin coffee guy until I had my first Starbucks dark roast. I'll never go back to Dunkin again.

Venti, Decaf Americana, 2 pumps sugar free vanilla, 2 splenda, and steamed non fat milk.

I was wondering if they had sugar free Syrup. I've been craving their hot chocolate, but didn't to ruin my progress. I will be going soon!

Double tall nonfat dry cappuccino!

@@jess9395, excuse my ignorance, I don't go to Starbucks often & when I do I always order the same thing (tall skinny half caf white chocolate mocha, no whip) definitely a rare treat.

But my question is, what does it mean when you say "dry" & what is a "double tall"? Trying to increase my Starbucks vocabulary/knowledge, lol.

Tall = smallest size cup (actually there's also a short but it's not on the menu). Normally they put one shot of espresso in drinks made for a size tall/small. If you ask for a double tall it's two shots of espresso in a tall/small. A Cappuccino is espresso with mostly foamed milk and a little bit of steamed milk. A latte is espresso with steamed milk and a bit of foamed milk on top. A "dry" espresso is just the foamed milk no steamed milk.

So basically what I order is two shots of espresso in a size small cup with just a little bit of foamed milk on top. The espresso is calorie free and the nonfat steamed milk is about 50 calories no fat and about 5g Protein and 8g carbs from the milk

I get a double tall skinny mocha with 2 pumps of each-sugar free mocha, and add 2 sugar free hazelnut, 2 sugar free vanilla. I also get a tall Americano(which has two shots of espresso and only 10 calories) with some sort of sugar free syrup(I change it up every day)and then add nonfat milk. Play with sugar free syrups-there's 6 main sugar free flavors always on tap and then seasonal flavors as well.

FYI, there ARE 5 calories in each shot of espresso as well as 75mg of caffeine. It's minuscule, but they are in there...

[jess9395 5,450]

I stand corrected on the calories in espresso! But I'm jealous of your Starbucks! Ours only has sugar free vanilla, hazelnut and mocha. No other SF syrups!
