Dang it Steph!
So after reading yesterday's posts about the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte, I found myself having a little bit of extra time before work this morning and stopped at the drive thru.
I got the decaf pumpkin spice latte and it was sooooooooo good! I think you have contributed to a new obsession of mine. Now I'm just going to have to find out how many carbs are in it before I go crazy with them and end up having to go on insulin b/c my sugar levels are too high!
And now to find a low carb recipe for pumpkin bread!!
Re: Dang it Steph!
You sure you really want to know the nutrional facts?!?
Pumpkin Spice Latte, Nonfat, Tall (16 fl oz) (210 cal/0 g fat/0 g fiber/40 g carbs)
Pumpkin Spice Latte, Nonfat, Grande (16 fl oz) (290 cal/0 g fat/0 g fiber/54 g carbs)
Pumpkin Spice Latte, Nonfat, Venti (20 fl oz) (360 cal/0 g fat/0 g fiber/68 g carbs)
First weight loss goal - 40lbs... DONE! Second weight loss goal - 17lbs...
OMG!!! I had the venti too!!!
I guess no more lattes for me. My endocrinologist would kill me!
They have so many sugar free syrups there (made with Splenda)...I don't see why they haven't made the pumpkin one sugar free yet.
Boo!
I quit drinking them when I found out all that... and that is with NONFAT milk. I moved on to their "skinney" lattes that are like 90 calories but they aren't the same.
This website, while it is painful to read, helps out.... http://www.dwlz.com/Restaurants/starbucks.html . The bold number at the end is how many points the stuff is on weight watchers.

Thanks MegaP, I'll have to try that.
I've never had soy milk before. Does it taste much different from whole or skim milk?
I've never actually had soy milk before, but I have had stuff with soy in it and to me it is gross. It leaves some kind of weird film in my mouth. Blech. I know a lot of people love it, though.
