Starbucks Coffee

I cannot stand their mocha's, something about the chocolate, but if you have a non-fat latte (which is basically made up of espresso, steamed water and milk) you should have no problem in the sugar arena unless you add that yourself. If you do, try splenda as a substitute, works great. -------------- Bettia.... You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. -Mark Twain ravenbeauty@freetrainers.com

My fiance loves the white chocolate mocha which equals sugar, cream, sugar, and expresso, oh ya and sugar. If you just want the caffeine for the jolt, then stick with regular black coffee.
