ORIGINAL: angelikaJ Some places have "skinny" or no sugar options... . A couple of things with the "skinny" options: 1) The lower the fat content of milk, the higher the carb count. So, you're worried about blood sugar, lattes made with nonfat milk are worse for you. 2) Every time I've gotten a drink with sugar free syrup, they've tried to put whipped cream on top. Whipped cream contains sugar and Starbucks is even worse since they use the vanilla syrup to make theirs. It contains a lot more sugar than normal whipped cream. To address the OP: Sugar free syrups are the best best and a little bit of heavy cream goes a long way. It creates a feeling of luxury. (Do not use non-dairy creamers, they're full of crap and sugar) One of my favorites: Cold strong coffee, unsweetened Almond milk, chocolate protein powder, splenda and ice in a blender.
