Hi all,

I wasn't sure where to share this (which board) so I'm putting it here for now, knowing it will probably be moved to a more appropriate board by a moderator.

Anyway, I was really dying for a Starbucks fix and knowing that the majority of their drinks are off limits, I got a bit creative and thought I'd share.

I took a tall travel tumbler with me and asked them to fill it to the very top with ice. Then I ordered the medium sized decaf brewed coffee that they were offering today. They normally have only the 1/2 & 1/2 out, but I asked about heavy cream and sure enough they had it in their fridge. So I doctored my hot coffee up with the HC and a few Splenda packets I keep in my purse, got it tasting just right for me, and then dumped it over the ice (I love iced coffee drinks). It was immediately very cold and about half the ice was remaining. Now I know it's not the same as a Frap or Mocha, but it was still AWESOME!

The carb content would depend on how much cream and Splenda you used and since I like mine light, it turned about to be about 5 grams. But then again, I had about 2 grams at breakfast, so I figured I could justify this.

Thought I'd share.
