The WORST shopping drink (and the BEST)

Did you know a simple shopping trip could turn out to be a secret NIGHTMARE for
your health mission?

Ok, I’m not gonna spoil your lovely christmas shopping days out at the stores getting excited to
buy gifts for loved ones (or yourself if you’re anything like me)

I’m a huge Starbucks fan and it’s lovely going into a coffee shop,
putting your feet up and having a rest with a hot drink and a chat, but as you may be
tempted by some of the seasonal goodies coming out, thought I’d just share my top tips.

Yes…there are drinks out there you DEFO want to avoid

Take the White Choca Mocha at up to 613kCals or the
Ginger Bread Latte at up to 394 kCals as examples.

These plus a
‘Ooh…a slice of Christmas Carrot Cake won’t hurt’ (616kCal),
you’re looking at over half your days calories. Never mind weeks worth of sugar!

YIKES

No wonder it’s so easy to add to the pounds you already don’t want.

HOWEVER

You can still call in, enjoy and leave without any worries of guilt.

Now for me, I never choose anything else.

Americano all the way (11kCals). I like my coffee just like that and a little splash of milk,
you’re only looking at 40-50 kCals.

Now some of you may rather a cappuccino (Tall, Semi 97 kCals. 8.2g Sugar)
or a Latte (Tall, Semi 143 kClas 12.8g Sugar)

For me I’d rather save the calories PLUS I always find that buy the time I’ve
spooned all the frothy milk out, I only have half a drink and I feel disappointed.

If you’re a tea drinke any breakfast or herbal will be absolutely fine.

Be careful of Chai Tea Latte (179kCals) or the
Green Tea Latte (181 kCals)

^^ Both delish.

Of course you can still enjoy having some of these as a treat – that’s what life is all about!

Just be mindful of what else you’ve had during your day.

…and those SKINNY muffins…on the menu they’re all over 400kCals.
Maybe consider the ‘sharing is caring’ moto and have half with whoever you’re with.

Always nice to have a little taste.

Hope those little coffee shop tips help and make you think a little.

Just a little bit of research I did on the menu today to encourage you to
enjoy, but enjoy responsibly.
