Are you Missing Those Expensive and Fattening Starbuck's Lattes?

I found a new weakness....but it's okay, it's on plan. I was always a huge fan of coffee...decaf, black, no sugar. However, I haven't had a desire for coffee since going on the high protein, low carb plan.

I have felt like my Kuerig thought it was being punished through no fault of its own. Not wanting it to feel left out of my RNY journey, I thought I would try something out of my norm. I purchased a sample pack of decaf hazelnut coffee pods. This stuff is really good! I found if I add some vanilla Premier Protein and a little sweetener, it tastes like a latte. So good!! So once again my Keurig is happily cranking out happiness for me, now in the form of a skinny healthy latte.

Sounds good. You can add other flavors of protein to coffee as well and blend them up and yum.

Starbucks, no I don't miss them, never really like their products.

I still regularly go to Starbucks. Always have. A tall nonfat latte is 100 calories. I've fixed protein coffee as well. But Starbucks tastes better!

Me too. I usually get a skinny mocha with SF caramel or a Flat White. I gave up coffee for a few months when I first had surgery, but couldn't stay away.

I think that whole coffee thing is a fad, and it's almost run its course.

Shhhhhh...don't tell my Keurig that. It will become depressed again. LOL

If you really miss Starbucks, do this. In the morning before you leave your house, call out your name incorrectly and then burn a 5 dollar bill.

I do a half scoop of Isopure espresso protein powder and a splash of Fairlife milk with my morning coffee, it's pretty good. I used to do a whole scoop of the powder but it does have a slight grainy feel if you don't dilute one scoop with at least 16oz liquid.

My Starbucks alternative is a good matcha green tea latte or frappe more cheaper and great nutritional values
