Starbucks recognizes diabetics

Friday, July 27th, 2007

An article in Diabetes Health magazine indicates some alternatives for diabetics (or the the health conscious).

Called “Iced ‘Spresso,” they’re sweetened with Splenda and have only 90 calories, 2.5 grams of fat, and 11 grams of carbs in a 9.5 ounce bottle. That’s quite a drop from the 200 calories in Starbucks’ offerings of the same size, and they even carry the same caffeine punch as a standard cup of coffee.

We’ve personally tried all four of their flavors (Mocha Mudslide, American Vanilla, Ultra Lite Espresso Latte, and Caramel Dulce De Leche), and every one of them is downright delicious. They’re kind of pricey at $19.99 for a pack of twelve, but not bad compared to what you’d spend at the coffee shop.
