Default Starbucks Breve Latte OK?

Does anyone know if the Breve Latte (made with 1/2&1/2 or whole cream) from Starbucks is ok, particularly during induction?

It is way too much cream for Induction. You are only supposed to have 2-3 ounces of it a day. I miss my Mochas!!

Jeff,

An Americano with room for half+half and a shot of SF Vanilla syrup (or another flavor if they have it) is a better choice.

Lynred's right. Induction restricts cream to around 3 oz per day, so a breve is too high. Once you switch to the Americanos, your palate will adjust and you'll start to enjoy them, too.

Happy quaffing,

Dig

The Breve latte is made with Half-half. You can request that it can be made with heavy cream tho. to cut the carbs. i don't know if would affect you. i remember that you do have to limit yourself in the dairy and cheese dept- while you are on induction.

Default sugar free syrup

I always got sugar free decaf vanilla lattes. I'm sure they're off limits & I'm just starting induction, but does anyone know how many carbs are in a sugar free latte? I looked on the starbucks website but it didn't list sugar free anything in the nutritional values. Thanks

I've noticed that with the half & half and cream I buy the carb count doesn't change at all. For 2 tbsp of half & half its 1g and for 1 tbsp of cream it's 1g. I'd rather go with the half & half cause you get alil more for the carbs. I used it through the beginning weeks of induction and lost just fine. Not to mention half & half is alot cheaper than heavy cream.

Sugar free latte... I make these at work all the time. If you make them in something like heavy cream, you're fine. Likely just 1 or 2 carbs. Half and half... probably more like 4-5 carbs.

I work in a cafe and I'm in the process of creating a low-carb menu for the management. We're gonna do a trial run and if things go well... WOOO!

Yep, you can't make a latte with out a cup and a half usually. That's 473 calories and 16 carbs worth of cream!
