Starbucks addicts!

[BunnyD]

If you're still gutsy enough to go, what do you usually order? I was an iced mocha or (gasp!) frappuccino gal before. I doubt I'll be going back for awhile, even if I find an Atkins friendly drink I like. I still miss my sugary caffeinated goodness a little too much I think.

I don't know of an Atkins friendly drink from Starbucks but if you think that it might trigger some cravings stay away, in my opinion. Anyway Starbucks is super expensive, go buy some shoes or something with your extra money, haha!

I used to frequent Starbucks for their espresso shots (normally got a doppio). I wised up and got my own espresso maker at home and started making my own instead.

Re: Starbucks addicts!

ok, I have two new atkins friendly addictions.

1. iced venti UNSWEETENED passion tea. just add liquid sweetner of your choice, and enjoy.

2. this one is more complicated. I get a decaf triple espresso, and an iced tall cup full of ice. sweeten the espresso as you see fit (I put in 1 packet of xylitol and about 8 drops of vanilla stevia). pour over the ice slowly, swirling the ice cup as you pour. there should be enough room for a couple of ounces of cream. you can get unwhipped whipping cream from the barista if you ask. the locations in canada offer coffee cream on the stand, which is between half and half and whipping cream, fatwise. this is SO good, I almost struggle to not slug it back in two or three big sips.

3. decaf 2/3 full americano. the full amount of water is just too weak for me. I add about the same amount of sweetner as the above drink (when I get a grande americano, that is). I just add cream and am on my way.
