Lousy w/o my Latte...

[lph]

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.

Good Call on the soda being totally nutrional-less. Thanks for that reminder.

I'm sipping on a 12oz. skim latte with a bit of cinnamon sprinkled on top right now!! It's delightful.

Thanks for all of the suggestions everyone!

Yay! For variety, don't forget to try a dusting of cocoa sometimes.

My favorite coffee house has a note posted on their menu board that reads: "give me coffee, and no one gets hurt".

For me, chewing peoples' a**es and heads off would be more problematic than the calories in the coffee creation.

I'm not a syrup flavor kinda coffee gal, but I agree on the skim milk thing being ok. If I don't get my fav "whatever", all I do is lust after it... so might as well have at least a little of it and be happy. Sometimes I will try to do just half of whatever it is. That way you get "the fix", but without all the calories.

Fwiw...

Coffee Cheers to you.

I actually like cafe au lait..which to my understanding, has lots more milk than a latte.

I rarely have lattes or cafe au laits and if I do, I keep it to 1 large regular. I seem to get diaherra...if more.

I do like strong, deep coffee with..only milk. I have not had sugar in coffees nor teas for past few decades. (but of course, I do have desserts).

Syrups for coffees just turn me off.

Good thing I don't want sugar in coffee or tea...I seem to imbibe 2-3 cups of coffee daily...at places where I've worked, it's been free for past few years.

At home it's, just tea and milk. It's cheaper. On top of coffee at work (or from Starbuck's), will have 2 c. of tea at home.

No I don't like any pop, diet or whatever. Seem to drink a Sprite or Mountain Dew...uh..maybe 2-3 times annually. Instead it's natural fruit juices. (not juice cocktail..)
