I recently started craving Starbucks coffee, thanks to the rampant 'Bucks drinkers at work, and Timmy's is just no longer cutting it. I bought myself my first regular coffee from Starbucks today, and was faced with a vexing problem that I hope you can help me with
For those of you who drink your coffee with cream or half and half in it...When you put the white stuff in your coffee, how do you make sure that you're only getting the equivalent of one creamer? Today I used no-fat milk, and it just wasn't the same as the usual one cream that I get at Timmy's.
I say don't worry about it. A tablespoon of cream has about 20 calories, and you are not likely to put in more than one or two unless you really pour it in. It's just not enough calories to make or break your day. Think about it - the calories in a piece of fruit varies every time. You just can't control every last calorie.
But.... you could measure it once and try to remember the color. Or remember the taste. And then pour very, very slowly....
Oooh, I love me some Starbucks! Mine's a tall, nonfat, extra-hot latte for 100 calories, 2 points. It feels like having a treat every time, and it's filling.
ETA: Sorry, that's not much help to the OP but I got all excited when I read "Starbucks..."
Starbuck drinkers, help please...
