Sooo I was so exhausted/dragging at work that I took a break and went to Starbucks for a large white chocolate iced drink - I bought it and then the vendor mentioned it had 3 shots of espresso and should "do the trick"...
I drank it all...and now I'm wondering if that was bad?
I'm 12wks, 2 days...I don't drink coffee everyday...so I feel like it's okay and I usually don't drink any coffee with espresso so this was a first...
Opinions?!
Re: 3 shots of espresso...
Absolutely not true. A two ounce doppio espresso (that is two shots) is around 150 mg of caffeine. So that is around 75mg per shot. If you had three then that is 225 mg total. Still over the recommended limit, if you are looking to stay at 200 mg and below.
Contrary to popular belief there is actually more caffeine in the average brewed cup of coffee vs. an espresso.

There are 225 mg of caffeine in 3 shots of Starbucks coffee. You'll be fine! I wouldn't make it your regular daily drink but having if you have it occasionally you'll be just peachy!
ETA PP is correct - your iced one has 3 shots [hot venti drinks only have 2 - but it's far too warm for that!]
