Starbucks Skinny Mocha..tried it?

They don't have sugar free in the peppermint do they?! I tried the Gingerbread recently and didn't care for the after taste. So for non-fat, sugar free, you just say "skinny" now? I didn't know that. I always feel so pretentious with my big long order. I just want a yummy coffee/latte without a lot of calories. - lol

 

Yeah apparently saying "I want a nonfat sugar free vanilla latte" was too much trouble... so we just say Skinny now.. lol. I thought the gingerbread was weird too at first but it grew on me. Tried SF caramel today it was pretty good. I really wish they had SF peppermint.. maybe next year!

That funny, I ordered a skinny latte today at lunch (my first). I drank it so fast it came back up. I'm a Starbuck addict. Prior to becoming a bandster,my favorite was extra carmel, extra vanilla, carmel mocha. Today was my first day back to Starbucks. I will probably treat myself to a skinny latte once a week.

Awesome! I didn't know this! I don't go there for 3 days and they roll out a new name for drinks? So instead of saying "Grande No-Whip Sugar Free Cinnamon Dolce Nonfat Latte" I can just say "Grande Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Latte"???? OMG, that eliminated, like, FOUR words! (Read that sentence again, in your best valley girl accent!) (Insert facetious grin here)

Yeah totally, isn't that funny?  Haha

I tried it yesterday, and was disappointed. I thought maybe it wasn't made correctly because it didn't taste the least *****ocolatey. It just tasted like they had put artificial sweetner in my latte. I just don't understand why I can buy Hershey's sugar free chocolate syrup at the grocery store which tastes halfway decent, and Starbuck's can't have a similar tasting product. I think I'm back to the nonfat, no-whip, grande iced latte. If I want to treat myself, I'll go for the "real" mocha syrup once in awhile. Good idea to ask for one pump instead of two.

I tried it last night also, I was thinking it needed another pump or two of the chocolate, to me it was not sweet enough or chocolatey enough!!!! 

Hey Ubergirl, I love your doggie picture...Is she a malamute? I have a Siberian Husky...

I havent tried the skinny Latte. I love coffee but I steer clear of Starbucks. It seems addictive and I dont need any more bad habits. Also, my daugher starts her new manager job there monday. We are excited about that.

 

 

Yeah he's a Malamute, wooly and giant. :)  Starbucks seems like a decent company to work for, I hope your daughter enjoys her new job!

When I go, and it is usually once a week in the winter, I order mine regular..no skinny..no skipping the whip. I love the Peppermint Mocha Latte.  I get the tall (which is small) and it is a perfect amt.  I usually order it decaf, but not always.
