Don't drink coffee but would like to go to Starbucks?

I do not really understand the Starbucks craze and the amount of $ people spend on coffee, but both my girls work for Starbucks and they get MEDICAL INSURANCE (thank you Starbucks), so I was there and wanted to drink something but I don't drink coffee.

Diet hot chocolate (Sugar Free) made with Heavy Cream.  Skip the whipped topping because it is all sugar.

DELICIOUS! But not as good as what I make at home!

I kind of distrust the "skinny" claim. There's usually hidden sugar in there somewhere.

My girls have access to the numbers so I believe them.  Plus I don't have any reaction to it and I did react to the whipping cream which has sugar.

That would be the only way I'd trust it. You have to have someone on the inside.  ; )

My body reacts so strongly to sugar when I am low carbing that that is another way I can verify.  But yeah, both girls have checked.  The hot chocolate is sugar free, heavy cream is what it is, and the topping has sugar in it.

I don't drink these often due to the cost.  But it has been COLD down here in the deep (freezer) south!!

Going to walk today though.  The sun is nice and it isn't windy.  Dogs will be so happy.

Excellent idea! It's freezing cold here, I just took a bunch of pictures of the giant snowflakes softly piling on the evergreens outside my window. Homemade protein hot chocolate sounds wonderful!!

I went to a major dog training conference last year (Karen Pryor's Clicker Academy) and was blown away by a competition trained obedience beagle.  Such a WOW of a dog.

I remember years ago a gal who worked at Starbucks just so she could get the DS with their insurance.
