Besides my new found running, this is another one of my addictions. To Starbucks benefit, this drink has become an almost daily event for me. Through a lot of experimenting I think I have come up with the most perfect latte from Starbucks.
My drink of choice.
Triple - Grande- Nonfat- 1 Splenda - Latte
Triple - 3 shots of espresso
Grande - Medium
Nonfat- Skim Milk
1 Splenda - Have to have Splenda in the cup before the espresso
Latte - my drink of choice.
I think the extra shot of espresso is a must. I like my coffee strong. For lattes Starbucks uses the same number of shots for a Venti (Large) so thus I order the Grande (Medium). Non-fat milk because Im watching my weight. 1 Splenda gives me just enough sweetness without the sugar and doesnt overpower the coffee taste. I stay away from the flavored Latte. Have you tried the sugar-free flavors. Yuch.
Next time you go to Starbucks give this a try. Also for the warmer months. I switch to an Iced version of the same drink.

Hi, nice to meet you. Thanks for stopping by my blog and a HUGE thanks for saving me $30 at the CMM! I found my 10K training group through a local running specialty store, where I also found my awesome Brooks Radius shoes. Also, local running clubs (if there is one in your area) often have them.
For the half, I've been loosely following a personal training plan I printed free from runnersworld.com. I wonder how that differs from Jeff G's. I'm jealous you are up to 8 mi. already. I'm tapering for this 10K, otherwise, this would have been my 8-mile week.
Oh, I'm a tall nonfat decaf caramel latte gal.
I sometimes feel like I am not smart enough to drink coffee from Starbucks... just trying to remember everything in my order... and in the right order. I usually stumble on my words and get corrected everytime.
I just stick with my Caribou if I am in the midwest... Starbucks every where else. :)
Happy traveling... and enjoy the book!
I love Starbucks.
My regular is a dark roast with cream and 2 splenda. I like cream and its one thing I can cut out.
