Flavored coffe
 
I love coffe and it is one of the hardest cravings of mine to control on this diet, I went on line and looked up the nutritional info, not sure why the FDA does not require it like evevery thing else but it was easy to fine

It's because there's essentially nothing nutritionally to plain brewed coffee. There are 2-5 calories, and pretty much nothing else. It's essentially the same reason there's no FDA labels on water.

Starbuck's newest ground coffee carmel flavored has corn sugar in it. It is 0 calories and less than one carb. I am thinking this might not be good because of the sugar. I could not find the ingredients for the new starbucks vanilla flavored coffee.

I have a Keurig at home and in my office and I use it constantly! I'll do flavored coffee with vanilla rtd and cinnamon in the afternoon and sometimes chai tea the same way.

They also have a lot of herbal teas - lemon zinger is my favorite!

The regular cups are fine but you will notice they have some that are not compliant like the 1/2 1/2 sweet tea, the chai latte, etc. if you go on Keurig.com and register you're brewer you'll get 2 boxes free with the purchase of 2 and all the flavors have the nutrition facts!

Enjoy that keurig!!!

That's so unfortunate that they have to add sweetener to their coffee grounds - you definitely have to use common sense when looking at these things. If there's no ingredient list or the only thing mentioned is tea leaves or coffee beans, you're good. But as soon as those dextrins show up....bad news.

I haven't looked it up myself, but I did notice they had a "vanilla blonde roast" last week when I was at Starbuck's.

I asked the barista and she said it does contain sugar :(

you have to read the label. some of them have added sugar. I bet they're great with the IP vanilla drink.
