any suggestions - my fav. drink is sugar free - skim - vanilla latte

however i know this has milk (grande size) must have a the least a cup of milk in it or more... any suggestions on what type of milk is the best, they have all kinds - soy, organic etc

need help - i want a starbucks coffee this afternoon. and do not like to drink the regular cup of coffee nor do i want to use up all my carbs in one coffee drink - 2 1/2 weeks now and staying at 20 -25 carbs at the most.

Get an Americano. It's just a few shots of espresso with hot water. Add cream and it tastes exactly like a latte.

I like flavored coffee, and last Xmas my downfall was Starbucks' peppermint drinks. I ended up going off Atkins for a few months - couldn't stay away. Imagine my delight when I found peppermint flavored coffee at Wal Mart! I put it in the freezer and make iced peppermint coffee. (I also use chocolate almond and raspberry cream.) They're so sweet I won't crave chocolate or other goodies.

So many people advocate quitting coffee entirely, but it hasn't stalled me, and I couldn't do this WOE without it.

Get a tall latte breve (half and half) with a dash of sugar free vanilla. I have had this before and it is so rich that the tall size is enough. I have even had it and not been knocked out of ketosis!

Sugar free vanilla americano - and use the half and half as your lightener. Or if you want it a bit more rich, ask the barista if you can have a little of the liquid heavy cream they have behind the counter...

ok - let me get this correct
get the americano (expresso / water)
add sugar free vanilla syrup - half & half

i'll try that today - thanks for the help!

Or go to Tully's and get a tall breve - they have more suger free syrup flavors.

I do the americano with cream, sf vanilla and I add my own pkt of splenda. Yummy. I used to love the caramel frappiccino's but this is a pretty good substitute.

any idea of carb count ?

Here is a site someone gave me before with a break down

Thanks I am an americano fan myself

Great thread! I used to be a "tall, nonfat mocha" die-hard, but have since converted to the iced americano. Good idea to add some SF vanilla syrup--I'm going to try that next time I go!

Cappuccino has a lot more foam -- and therefore a lot less milk -- than a latte.

I love the latte breve. I add Splenda and it's great!

Today, I went to "The Buck", as we call it.

I had a Grande Iced Decaf Sumatra, with half & half and Sweet & Low.

Next time, will definitely bring my own Splenda and ask the barista for the heavy cream -- but man -- it was a beautiful thing.. and if anything, i'm deeper in ketosis today.

It had little to do with the coffee except psychosomatically ;-)
