Starbucks..what do you order??



Recommended Posts

Jachut- That is such an interesting perspective! I notice lots more people taking their drinks to go. In NY the Starbucks' cup is almost a form of fashion accessory, with everybody schelping one around (myself included).You can tell the season by the type of cup in everyones hand. I even noticed that they started to make a reusable form of their clear plastic cup made out of durable plastic and are selling it for $14.

I don't usually do Starbucks, but the other day I got an iced coffee (black coffee on ice) and it was $2.79. Robbery.

By the way, Jachut, I agree on both the gum chewing and the slurping from a huge paper cup.

Not a coffee drinker, but I am quite fond of my venti low-fat green tea frappucino, no whip!

Somone did you wrong!! I don't even pay for the for my double shot over ice - think maybe 1.89 which is still robbery.

This is my favorite and I only have it about twice a month: Venti iced house coffee with 5 pumps of white chocolate mocha.

Venti not grande

I love green tea frappacinos but they are really fattening.

I saw someone get one of those the other day - it was frozen. I'm so tempted but I heard they are high in everything - fat, calories, and sugar.

Okay, I had to throw in my two cents here....I love the frapps at starbucks...My favorite is strawberries in cream...But when the make it I ask them to make it light, and I always get a tall size (small). Not all starbucks will do it...But the one at my college hooks me up!! I don't do it everyday, but maybe once a month or every two months. Also for a warm drink I like the sugar free skinny latte with carmel and vanilla shots...MMmmm so yummy!

My favorite is a tall non-fat carmel machiatto. I don't really care for the sugar free Syrup. I only go to Starbucks once or month if that often.

When I go, it's the Venti Skinny (nonfat, sugar free, no whipped cream) Mocha, iced, Decaf. 120 cals + I get my milk.

It makes a decent-enough Breakfast in a hurry because you get 10 grams Protein without all the other crap. The only sugars and carbs are from the milk. It's not substantial enough for every day, but it's better thank skipping altogether. And because I get decaf, my hunger isn't goaded into reappearing later.

I heard that they are discontinuing the already-short-lived SF Mocha, so I bought a bottle and have it behind their counter with my name on it. :(

Two other options I like are brewed coffee, either black or with a little nonfat milk, or iced green tea, unsweetened.

I am a Starbucks Junkie!! I use to go every day and at my highest point I was having two venti iced drinks a day. I really like the Skinny latte's either hot or cold. My new craving is the Black Shaken Iced tea with sweet-n-low. I had 3 of them yesterday.....

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
