hey Guys,
I was sitting at the drive through window the other day at our local starbucks and watched the staff fill the silver cannisters they use for whipped cream......before they put the heavy cream in there they put at least 6 pumps of simple syrup in.....I had no idea there was sugar in the whip!!

My current fav is the sf peppermint mocha, anyone know how many carbs a grande breve would have??

btw - I made the protein peppermint mocha the other day that someone posted here, using brewed coffee, choc protein powder, sf peppermint and a splash of heavy cream...very yunmy

I just fact checked this with my SIL who has worked for Starbucks for like a bazillion years. She says YES, they put vanilla syrup in the whip!

Yeah...but the whip is whipped ... there are maybe, 2 grams of sugar, and that's if you have a lot of whip. I'm not loosing sleep over it.

Hi Larissa,
I'm not losing sleep over it or getting bent out of shape with 2g's sugar but my point is that it is a "hidden" sugar that I think most if us were not aware was there.

 I never get whipped cream at Starbucks anyway.  I always get a breve, sugar free vanilla latte.  They are so yummy!

All commercial whipped cream has sugar. I make it myself, sans sugar, in the house.
