Lousy w/o my Latte...

[lattae]

I've got the addiction of having a sugar free hazelnut lattae with skim milk daily.. it seems to control my hunger and is filling to me. I figure the skim milk helps with my daily calcium intake,, I've thought of trying the lattae with soy milk sometime too. Our local McDonalds has a coffee cafe menu now and I was surprised how flavorful the S/F vanilla lattae was...

I never warmed up to Latte and the like. This may be due to the 5, okay, 6, okay actually 8 teaspoons of sugar and a cup of whole milk that I dump into my morning 32 ounce container of very strong Taster's Choice "Gourmet" instant coffee.

Well it would have to be, wouldn't it

Yum. I drink 2 cups of coffee before my 4 minute commute every moring. I use soy creamer, and I love it!

I would second that there is not really that much of a problem with getting a few calories from milk or soy milk! Calcium is so important!

I'll "third" the idea of a latte being a good source of calcium / vit d. I rarely drink milk alone, and when I do, it's usually b/c I'm having something rich and chocolately! So a Non Fat Latte is a good thing for me. The caffeine, well that's just icing! The bigger worry for me is the cost of buying them daily. I've cut it back to 2-3x week for only that reason.
