So my boss asked me if I wanted anything from starbucks. He was buying so I said sure and ordered my old favorite -White chocolate Mocha-

I drink most of it and for laughs I googled starbucks nutritional info to see what my Breakfast cost me....

Holy Crap!

For the Smallest serving of White Chocolate Mocha---

They didn't list the carbs but I bet they are not pretty.

Yah Starbucks is deceiving how bad the "fancy" drinks can be.

White chocolate mocha, non fat, with whip, grande are my fav - but they are 420cals and 13g of fat... even without the whip they are 350 cals and 6g of fat

So now if I want a treat I try to go for the Caramel Macchiato - grande non fat is only 190cals and 1g fat

I try and stay away as well. Imagine all of the food you could have eaten with all those calories and fat!

They have a new shake . I think its mango banana. It has 21 or 23 grams of protein and only 2 grams of fat I believe. Its 230 calories. I was hungry the other day and ordered one. Pretty good. I typically like the Venti Green Tea Frapp but I think it is around 500-600 calories!

Guess what! Starbucks has a new drink for all of us lapbanders! It's called a Vivanno. It's a smoothie. There are two different kinds. There is a chocolate banana and an orange mango. They have 270 calories, 21 grams of protein, 5 grams of fiber, and only 5 grams of fat. These are great (I've had one already) replacements for your usual, mediocre protein bar.

Wow - the chocolate one has a lot more protein. The orange mango only has 16 grams.

Orange Mango Banana Blend

The Orange Mango has 47 g of carbs of which 32 grams are of sugar! That's more carbs than I'm supposed to eat all day!

I think I'll pass.
