Well as you may or may not know I love Starbucks!! It is my favourite place when I go shopping and have been known to go to Norwich and just sit in one of them for hours!
Anyway I always have Americano coffee (7 calories!) with a squirt of sugar free hazelnut, and then usually have one of their healthy snacks!
So usually I have a bit of skinny carrot cake or a skinny lemon muffin!
Anyway (this is a long story lol), I was wondering what calories are actually in them as skinny means low fat and not low calorie.
So I asked!! The people in the shop didn't know
So I E-Mailed head office and they came back yesterday!!
Product Name

192
Fat (g)
2.5
Saturated Fat (g)
0.6
Carbohydrates (g)

So not too bad!! Not much fat in the grand scheme of things (90 grams a day recommended) and less than 200 calories so not bad BUT THEN!!
Product Name:
Skinny Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin
Calories (Kcal)
390
Full Fat (g)
5.2
of which Saturated Fat (g)
1.4
Carbohydrates (g)
82.7
400 CALORIES!!! Just goes to show you that because something is sold as healthy it can be laden with calories!
If you were to have a large skinny latte and a skinny muffin then it would be over 600 calories. 600 calories when it sounds like you are being really good and having everything skinny and being an angel!!
I still love Starbies but I shall be sticking to carrot cake unless I really fancy the muffin

P.S. If you have a large whole milk white mocha with whip then just the drink is 628 calories!! That's a third of a girls intake for the day!!
