Buy Coffee Not Sugar

I’m not picking on Starbucks, all the other coffee cafes are just as guilty but the original post is from the USA so Starbucks has to get slammed. Check out the link below if you think you need to see more.

Starbucks Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha with Whipped Cream (venti, 20 fl oz)

660 calories
22 g fat (15 g saturated)
95 g sugars

Sugar Equivalent: 8½ scoops Edy’s Slow Churned Rich and Creamy Coffee Ice Cream

Hopefully this will dispel any lingering fragments of the “health halo” that still exists in coffee shops—that misguided belief that espresso-based beverages can’t do much damage. In this 20-ounce cup, Starbucks manages to pack in more calories and saturated fat than two slices of deep-dish sausage and pepperoni pizza from Domino’s.

That makes it the equivalent of dinner and dessert disguised as a cup of coffee. If you want a treat, look to Starbucks’ supply of sugar-free syrups; if you want a caffeine buzz, stick to the regular joe, an Americano, or a cappuccino.

Drink This Instead!

Cinnamon Dolce Latte with Sugar-Free Syrup (grande, 16 fl oz)

6 g fat (4 g saturated)
38 g sugars

For even more shocking sugar drinks check out this blog or the next time you drop by your local coffee bar ask them how many calories is in the drink. In Canada they have to tell you it’s the law.

Yes I go to coffee shops all week long and do meeting but I always get a peppermint tea. It lasts longer it tastes great and you get free refills of hot water. Not a bad deal at Starbucks for $1.80 compared tot he ripoffs at other coffee houses that chanrge $2.50.
