Feel like drinking a fat bomb?

Hubby loves him some Caramel Frappuccinos, and he used to get them with whipped creme...all that gooey caramel drizzled on top like a lacy sugar blanket. Until I picked up a nutritional brochure and ruined the party. Turns out he's glad I did, tho, because he's watching his cholesterol, and in fact, the Frap ain't even bad if you just get it without the whipped stuff on top!

I was reminded of this when I was reading Back in Skinny Jeans' post about the soaring calorie and fat content of some of Starbucks drinks? Tasty as they may be, and undeniably refreshing on these drippy humid days, they can ruin your diet faster than you can say "Baconator." Some examples, courtesy of BISJ:

The five most caloric drinks at Starbucks*:

Venti White Chocolate Blended Creme Frappuccino (without whipped creme) at 630 calories and 9g of fat. Adding whipped creme brings the total to 760 calories and 21g of fat.

Venti Strawberries & Creme Blended Creme Frappuccino (without whipped creme) at 620 calories and 3g of fat. Adding whipped creme brings the total to 750 calories and 15g of fat.

Venti Double Chocolate Chip Blended Creme Frappuccino (without whipped creme) at 550 calories and 11g of fat. Adding whipped creme brings the total to 670 calories and 22g of fat.

Venti Dulce de Leche Blended Creme Frappuccino (without whipped creme) at 550 calories and 3g of fat. Adding whipped creme brings the total to 680 calories and 15g of fat.

Venti White Chocolate Mocha Hot Beverage with Whole Milk (without whipped creme) at 550 calories and 20g of fat. Adding whipped creme brings the total to 620 calories and 27g of fat.

The three fattiest drinks at Starbucks*:

Venti White Chocolate Mocha Hot Beverage with Whole Milk (without whipped creme) at 20g of fat. Adding whipped creme brings the total to 27g of fat.

Venti Hot Chocolate Hot Beverage with Whole Milk (without whipped creme) at 17g of fat.Adding whipped creme brings the total to 24g of fat.

And a tie between: Venti Caffe Latte Hot Beverage, Venti Cafe Mocha Hot Beverage, and Grande White Chocolate Mocha Hot Beverage all with Whole Milk (without whipped creme) at 15g of fat each. Adding whipped creme brings the total to 22g and 27g of fat to the respective mocha drinks.

lol...You're title makes the post so much more fun. I love it!

That stuff is just pure evil. I always get a venti latte with skim milk and sugar free vanilla. It's boring but satisfying.

I just wish that Starbucks would come out with a sugar free, non-fat chai.

For anyone who's interested I know of a healthy way to make a frappucino-type drink at home. In a blender put some chopped up frozen bananas, soy milk or any other milk, and stong cold coffee or instant coffee crystals. It's pretty good! You can add sugar if you need it, but the bananas add sweetness.

Leslie:
But think of how good they taste! Everything in moderation. I mean, a girl has got to have some decadence in her life! Can you tell that I have absolutely no disciple. Girl, I am trying to learn from you. I am thinking about buying one of those balls you mentioned awhile ago. If I don't use it to exercise like I am always intending to, it would make a nice seat. Your frappucino sound great. I will try that. Hope your summer is going great, Leslie.

Later my friends told me that if I want to play the game better I should go to earn the kal geons, so I was very quickly risen to thirty levels, and then I started to play the game alone.I spend a lot of kal gold to treat myself in this game. However she was also very sad when I was hurt, she was sorry about this to me and I did not complain her at last. I was very happy and we went to earn the kal online geons to equip us to become strong. Today I play the game again and I can get a lot of kal online gold for her, I take her to upgrade and then add her experience. I have a lot of kalonline Geons and I want to give her in the game.
