I did a review of the nutritional content for the items that I would order at Starbucks. I analyzed the sugar & caffeine primarily in order to determine whether the items are healthy choices or not.
Also, for desserts I tried to find items that contained fiber in addition to the sugar. This is the only way that sugar should be consumed, that is joining it with fiber. I heard this news from a DVD that I purchased called "Hungry for Change."
So, for my top picks of the items mentioned below I choose:
Coffee Drinks:
Cappuccino at 75mg of caffeine
Espresso Macchiato at 75mg of caffeine
Decaf Pike Place® Roast at 20mg of caffeine
Tea Drinks:
Any except for the lattes, they are too high in sugar.
Desserts:
Blueberry Oat Bar-because it has sugar + fiber. Never eat sugar without fiber.
