I tried the cafe au lait at my fave shop and even made with high quality espresso beans in their $12K single cup brewer, I thought it tasted mostly like milk and not coffee, so I'm back to my skinny caps if hot and skinny lattes if iced.

The strange thing is, it has less milk, not more. Maybe the shop you go to uses more milk than mine does. It doesn't taste any milkier to me than a latte. But on the other hand, if someone wants a milky coffee drink, this might be the one to try.

I guess. that's why I avoid lattes in general though in favor of cappacino's and get extra shots at those places that only put in 1 shot per 12 oz. The place I like usually puts in 3 shots for less than starbuck's 1 shot prices and they steam their milk properly so it is creamy smooth, not just whipped air on top of hot milk. But to each their own!

Alright...I'm kinda confused. I love my skinny vanilla latte hot OR cold. It is made with sugar free vanilla syrup and skim milk..so I thought it would be okay to have during phase one. BUT I was just on the starbucks website and the nutritional info has scared me.

Hot- sugar free syrup(vanilla, cinnamon, mocha, caramel), non fat latte
(Tall) has 12g of sugar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Iced- sugar free syrup(vanilla, cinnamon, mocha, caramel), non fat latte
(Tall) has 8g of sugar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Am I cheating on my diet???? or is it okay???

Amber..

Dairy has natural sugars, and those will be noted in the nutritional info. We just go for no-sugar-added in these types of things.

A cup of milk has 12 gms of carbs, all from sugars. 2 cups of dairy are encouraged in P1. enjoy!
