Starbucks “Holiday Drinks” and “Holiday Treats” Pack in the Calories
It’s cold and you want to warm up … you see a Starbucks looming on the corner (almost every corner in NYC!). Or perhaps you want to take a break from holiday shopping and Starbucks is calling your name. Often times in NYC, I see city girls walking down the street drinking from Starbucks coffee cups. I wonder what drink is in those cups. If it’s one of the new holiday drinks, regular consumption may soon lead to muffin tops (no- I’m not talking about the food!). These new holiday drinks are loaded with 
calories - many over 400 calories. And if you choose a “holiday snack” to go with your “holiday drink”, you can pack in over 800 calories! This is over half of the calories that the average women needs to maintain her weight.
Ordering nonfat milk and skipping the whipped cream can help save calories and fat … however I still wouldn’t call them “dietetic”. Bottom line, make these drinks a special treat!
