Whats the best thing to get at starbucks?
Well, tea.
Not as though I would ever order anything less than a triple-shot espresso though :P
americanos! just shots of coffee and hot water, I like em black but a teaspoon of milk and a dash of cinnamon is not too bad in them either. 8 oz skinny lattes (the cinnamon one is really tasty), I also drink a ton of tea, green or earl grey mostly, the tazo brands are good.
but mostly I try to not buy starbucks because the coffee. It isn't as good as some of the smaller cafes with better quailty beans, of course I live in Seattle so it's easy to find these places! I was just talking to a local coffee roaster and he told me that they add coffee flavor to the beans and over roast (burn) them on purpose. I guess somehow they think this makes the coffee more addictive although I don't know how...
Starbucks also has some diet-friendly and healthy sandwiches and hot breakfast items like a Spinach, Egg, & Feta wrap, a Turkey Bacon English Muffin (With egg whites and low-fat cheese), and a Low-fat Chicken Bruchetta sandwich. All of which are very good, I might add. x)
I was asking a local manager if we would ever get the breakfast sandwiches at our location and he said that all Starbucks' are getting rid of their sandwiches in an attempt to "bring it all back to coffee". So enjoy those while they last!
Recommendations: tall skinny lattes or mochas (90 cals), coffee with sweetener, Americanos, tea, Iced Tea (a tall is slightly sweetened and ~60 cals).
Freshly brewed iced tea, or their regular coffee.
I can't believe that there are people out there who spend $4 on a drink on a daily basis. And there are very few healthy options on the menu. To me, Starbucks is a treat.
Then again, I keep a big mug at my desk and a wide variety of tea bags so I can brew my own tea any time. And a whole box of 20 tea bags costs less than a single drink at Starbucks.
That caramel frappucini light is heaven!!! And for only 130 cals.... I would've guessed 300+ cals! Sooo delicious.
Same here. Even though Starbucks is good and has some tasty healthier drinks and sanwiches, it's overpriced honetly. If you can just make your own at home, I just don't see why people feel the need to go out for coffee every morning.
