Starbucks and I have been good friends for a while now. Everyone thinks all coffee and bakery items are bad for you. However, with a little research, I found a few items that can more then satisfy your quench for healthiness.
With just a couple changes to your drink order, you are able to cut back over 50 calories. For example, their Iced Skinny Flavored Latte is a smooth, rich blend of expresso, chilled nonfat milk, and your choice of a sugar-free flavored syrup, over ice. It has 60 calories, 9 grams of carbs, and 6 grams of protein. By using nonfat milk, getting a tall (12 oz.), and not getting whipped cream, you cut out about 50 of the calories.
The Orange Mango Vivanno Smoothie is made with one whole banana, blended with natural orange mango juice, a generous serving of nonfat milk, whey protein and fiber powder, and ice. Weighing in at 260 calories, 51 grams of carbs, and 15 grams of protein, this smoothie is a healthy, fulfilling choice for any time of day.
As for food, try a Marshmallow Dream bar. This sweet, chewy twist on an old favorite has 210 calories, 43 grams of carbs, and <1>Cheddar cheese triangles, a hard boiled cage-free egg, grapes, a few apple slices, a small whole-wheat bagel, and natural peanut butter blend. 370 calories, 39 grams of carbs, and 17 grams of protein later, you will be refueled and ready for a good day.
Happy Eating!
