I'm struggling! I let sugar back into my diet and I can't get it out! The main culprit is my COFFEE! I'm getting ready to try Chike Coffee and I want it to taste so good I'm terrified to try it! Does that make any sense? Seriously have the packet in my hand as I'm typing! Who has tried it, who's liked it and who has hates it? I LOVE iced coffee so bring on the comments!

I adore good coffee too BUT I mostly drink chai tea ( gallons of it really) for the simple  reason that  metabolism speeding tea vs coffee keeps off an average of 10 more lbs. 

I've spent too much time observing that the people going in and out of starbux are bigger looking than the average population.. hmm.  Maybe not a coincidence considering the 1) addictiveness due to Starbux's drinks mega caffeine contents 2) high calorie content of almost all their beverage offerings . 

Do you have a problem sweetening with sugar free Torani and DaVinci syrups ? How about Truvia a natural calorie free sweetener made from Stevia leaves (  a sweet herb) ?  i love sweet tea ... ad go through a bottle of sf syrup a week.. but I don't end up wearing the results thank God   

It's not just the sugar but I REALLY need to get my protein in. So the coffee shake kinda would accomplish that for me. I used Splenda for years Until my doctor said I was losing to much weight and I switch to real sugar. Big mistake listening to him! Now I'm struggling to get back down to where I was! Have 30 lbs. to go!

I have also been curious about them. People seem to rave about them. Good luck! I am an all or nothing gal, so I had to kick them both to the curb cold turkey. Rough for a couple of days, but, I was ok.

Meeow. I have observed the SAME THING with the starbucks populace.

While I LOVE LOVE LOVE starbucks...they use full fat, full sugar things.  You can make it skinny or skim but there are STILL calories in there.

Dont ever try the flat white. I got a sf carmel flat white. It is heroin good cuz of all the fat.  That was 280 needless calories added to my day and now I am craving that silky milky texture.

Seriously, if one needs starbucks have a skinny carmel cappachino. Save yourself from the calories.

 

Flat white is a new insidious evil!

Better yet - get unsweetened green iced tea.  It is refreshing and 0 calories and 0 fat!!

Go for it! Worst case, you don't like it, you spit it out, and you brush your teeth to get the flavor out :)

Chike rocks... I love it with milk (I do soy or almond or combo**** and chike... I change it up with a T of SF Torani... SF Vanilla or Caramel or whatever... sometimes I do a hunk of frozen banana if I want it more frappe like. 

As tasty as any Bux style drink and better for you.

Here's what the Banana one I make with it looks like... http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2014/07/post- weight-loss-surgery-menus-day-in_9.html

Thanks Eggface! Love your blog by the way! I really like their chocolate but I'm so picky when it comes to coffee! I'm a Starbucks girl! Love the Veranda Blonde (don't think that's what they call it anymore) anyway, I'll just do it! Never know until I try it!
