Pinterest is a liar!
I left an early morning meeting yesterday and swung by Starbucks. I looked up Keto Starbucks drinks, and opted for a Breve. When I got back to the office an loaded it in Carb Manager - 16 grams!! What?? That's not keto friendly! I love some of the keto recipes I've found on Pinterest, but you really can't trust them all!

Unless it's sugar free, I don't imagine any of Starbucks fancy named beverages are keto friendly. Even sugar free may bring in a bunch of carbs from milk sugar. I normally pick up a tea at the airport Starbucks when travelling, but skipped it this trip because half and half would eat up too many of my carbs, which I try to reserve for veggies.
-
I didn't get any added sugar, no flavors or anything. A breve is just a latte that uses half and half instead of milk. So lower sugars, but I was blown away by how much sugar just from the half and half.
Lesson learned.

I bring my own whipping cream to add when I get a starbucks lol but recently have really tried to be mindful, and started prepping coffee at home. :)

Keelo Starbucks has Heavy Whipping Cream, you just have to ask for it.

Felice Fish Raucci Do they charge extra? I get regular hot tea at Starbucks, not the fancy drinks, even before I started keto. If I can get a couple tbsps HWC for tea as a regular condiment without a big upcharge I'll go back to getting teas there.
-
Moondrake Nope, I go to 3 different Starbucks (not TOO often) but none have charged me any extra for the HWC.

I have also noticed that in the starbucks app. Changing the ingrediants wont change the nutritional facts. Hopefully thats it bc i order breve cappucinos all the time!

-
rachelalexis237560 maybe that's it. I hope so. It sure was tasty!
-

Sometimes the app can be wrong. I’ve had to update public entries because they reflect incorrect info.
