GTKY: What's your Starbucks order?

[belle0720]

BTW, did I already share our pregnancy 'announcement' with you guys? It incorporated Starbucks There was a Pumpkin Spice Latte in my cup, yummm

[bendherova]

Grande Unsweetened English Breakfast Tea Latte.  


I don't do coffee.  

[jessila]

Pregnant (due to disheartening coffee aversion): grande non fat Chai latte

Not pregnant: grande solo non fat white peppermint mocha--whipped or no whipped depending on the day.

Summer time: venti unsweetened black iced tea lemonade.

[bookninja]

Trenta ice tea/lemonade, black tea, unsweetened, add fizz! Just a bit of caffeine, lemony, bubbly goodness! Now I want one....

[mnp48]

mrsmonogrammed, OMG, they have a chai tea latte frappe? I must try that!

Since I usually get something sweet to munch on, I usually get my ice coffee black (gotta balance the calories somehow!). However, since being pregnant and craving sugar all time, I love their green tea latte frappe. Yum!

[theBeeMama]

I live in what I like to call "mini Portland" so if I'm seen with a Starbucks cup in my neighborhood I might get cut by some hipster. But really no matter where I go, I'm a regular latte kind of girl.

(This app is driving me nuts... What's up with all the double posts lately?? Anyway... Edited to fix a repeat post!)

[pghtruelove]

Iced Venti Unsweet Green Tea or Grande Soy Chai Extra Foam
I love love love soy foam!!

[PurpleIris]

Grande decaf flat white. New fav.

Venti decaf iced americano with a splash of milk when it's warm out (on that note, eff you Boston and your snow this morning).

Can't do caffeine, makes me jittery and sweaty, but I love my decaf.

[leenziepops]

Don't disown me but I don't drink Starbucks. Last time I had it was possibly a decade ago...

[wifedeangel]

Coffee anything is gross to me. So if I have to go to Starbucks I usually get a hot chocolate, and in season it's the salted caramel hot chocolate.

[ladysif]

Not pregnant: grande non-fat with whip two pump white mocha.
Pregnant: short decaf white mocha with whip. (ETA: short is as much as GD allows.)

Always with whip.

[carolyngrace]

Tea, because I think Starbucks coffee is awful.

I'm one of those annoying coffee snobs (though not as bad as many people I know). Most days I grind my own locally bought (and ethically sourced, of course ) beans, and brew them in a Chemex or French Press... If I do go out for coffee it's at one of the many amazing local shops in Pittsburgh!

[gigi3126]

Mmm...I used to be a total Starbucks junkie. Grande nonfat chai with an extra shot.
I gave up caffeine during first tri, and after I decided that if I could only have 200mg that I wanted as much coffee as possible, so I switched to iced cookie dough from Dunkin. The upside is that it's way cheaper too, which make MH happy. Lol!

[tiffbot]

I don't live in the city or anywhere that has a Starbucks/Tim Hortons nearby, so when I do decide to stop in there it's a treat and I choose whatever looks good for my mood that day haha. Today I had an appt in the city and ended up by a Starbucks so I got a maple macchiato.

[Bluedaisy]

Can I ask the ultimate in SS questions (it is Starbucks related at least)? I've heard that some herbal teas are bad during pregnancy...what about the passion tea from Starbucks? I've heard that rosehips can cause contractions and I'm pretty sure the passion tea is made with hibiscus and has rosehips but I could be totally off base.

[lulukittie]

I'm not a coffee person, but I do love me some chai lattes. Iced when it's warm out and regular when it's cooler. These days I usually go for a grande nonfat iced Oprah chai. It feels really weird ordering something with Oprah in the name though.

I've heard this, and I've also heard from people who used to work at Starbucks that it barely has any hibiscus in it. My Doctor gave me the all clear to have it, but I only drink it once in a while and I get a small amount. I guess hibiscus is a concern in the first trimester because of possible miscarriage but I've heard its less of a concern later on. I never get a clear answer though. Meh. I've never had contractions after drinking it though. 

Favorite Drink:
For the hot days:Very Berry Refresher (not pregnant I get the trente)
For cold days: Grande Cinnamon Dolche Latte. If its fall its always pumpkin spice while it lasts.

Thanks! I've been desperately craving a passion iced tea lemonade but have been scared to have one.

[amber311]

I like a caramel Brule latte with whole milk in the winter otherwise I LOVE Colectivos regular coffee black...so good!

[sgarmand]

I type this as my grande upside down caramel macchiato sits next to me. I go back and forth between hot and iced. I used to be a cinnamon dolce latte girl, but I have a strange aversion to them since pregnancy.

[mrsmonogrammed]

So many non coffee drinkers here, I love it!! Everyone always looks at me like I'm crazy when I say I don't really like it. And I especially love all the comments about how "that'll change after the baby gets here"
-__-

[seannemairi]

Non pregnant I'm a venti skinny vanilla latte girl. Sometimes (let's face it, a lot of the time) I'll make it a triple venti. I work loooooooong hours haha.

Now I've been keeping it to a Grande pike with 2 pumps of hazelnut or a black iced tea lemonade sweetened.

[redlipz]

Caramel frap, no whip, extra caramel.

[ombradellarosa]

+1 to not drinking coffee. Salted caramel hot chocolate from Starbucks is one of my Favourite Things. If I want to be really decadent I get it breve in a to-stay cup and snuggle up in the cushiest chair with a good book. When it's not cold I get the iced and blended version (although they don't carry the salt out of season so I just ask them to get it as close as they can, and it's pretty great.) At home, I like rooibos vanilla chai latte.

[Deleted]

I haven't been into the taste of coffee while pregnant so lately these are my choices:
Double chocolate frap. With whip cream!!!
Strawberry smoothie
Passion fruit iced tea no sweetner

Yeah, because birthing my third child will suddenly make me like drinking bitter crap... Nope, I'll take my caffeine as black tea or Dr Pepper, thanks!

I worked in commercial construction right out of college--- they all swore that my 6:30am start time (after a 75min drive) would get me drinking coffee. Not then, not after DS1. I can't imagine that happening this time.

Tea and diet coke for me pls!

[disney815]

Venti decaf nonfat no whip white chocolate mocha with vanilla, hot

[Girlymama79]

Vanilla steamer..because I'm a special snowflake and am allergic to caffeine.

[honeybunches101]

I don't like coffee unless it tastes like a milkshake, so I get the double shot cans or mocha frappachino. I usually stick to diet coke for caffeine though. I did have a delicious blueberry muffin from Starbucks a couple days ago, mmm.
