Starbucks; What to eat?

I’m a Starbucks junkie, so I have to look for ‘decent’ things to consume there.
Before, it was the 8 grain muffin…a horrible 70 carbs of crap! I must admit, ‘Sbux’ has stepped it up lately.
This meal below will work for vegetarians as well. In my opinion, it’s a very balanced breakfast or even post workout meal option.
1. Spinach & Feta Wrap (which includes an egg white)
240 cals, 10g Fat, 29g Carbs, 13g Protein
2. Venti Iced Water with 2 scoops of their ‘protein powder’
60 cals, 2g Carbs, 12g Protein
Total: 300 Calories, 10g of fat, 31g Carbs, 25g of Protein. Plus, 24 oz of water.
Remember, this is a MEAL…not a snack.

Thanks! Are there any healthy pastries? Or at least not too bad?

Unfortunately, no… The biscotti is the closest you can get without completely wrecking your diet.

What about the Perfect Oatmeal mike? Alone its only 140 cals, 3g Fat, 25 carbs, and 5 protein. It comes with 3 side toppings; mixed fruit (100 cals), mixed nuts (100 cals) and brown sugar (50 cals). You just have to be careful because adding all 3 brings this meal close to 400 cals. But the packets of dried fruit and mixed nuts are good for mid day snacking later and since its whole grain, the oatmeal with a banana keeps you pretty full all morning.
NATALIE!!! Hello! Thanks for posting. And of course…you are correcto. But, you stll have to do something with those side packets…and I usually end up eating them.
Im not saying ive ever done it before or anything…but you could also bring in your own oatmeal and ask for a couple scoops of protein in hot water…and mix it all in. Now that oatmeal has 17grams of protein and about a third of the cost… Im jusssayin…. You are right about the oatmeal tho.
Im glad we got a post out of ya! Stick around and help us with some more of your veggie tips!
Thanks,
Mike
