What's your goto beverage when hitting up Starbucks?
I'm kinda feeling a Carmel macchiato, but curious about the caffeine content.

Re: Starbucks
Decaf anything.
I like the white chocolate mocha (decaf). Probably has 49,000 calories but I don't care, I have them like once a week.
It's been so long I've forgotten! I lost my taste for coffee in the 1st tri and it's never returned. Mocha something??
If you google, you should be able to get the caffeine content.
(read it. you know you want to.)

Not pregnant: soy chai tea [iced or hot depending on weather. Sometimes w a shot of pumpkin]
Caffeinated iced coffee...straight up. gasp. Dr. actually recommended caffeine to slow my Braxton Hicks. Works like a CHARM. Although I do only have one a day, so as the day goes on, BH acts up.
Think I may stop on my way home from work, just didn't want to be kept up all night!

I LOOOOVE Starbucks. If I were rich I'd be there every day. I get decaf or 1/2 caf now.
Iced:
Caramel Macchiato or
Coconut Mocha Latte (when in season - no whip, NOT the frappachino)
Hot:
Pumpkin Spice Latte when in season
Caramel Macchiato
Caramel Brule Latte
Generally, a full caff iced coffee in the summer, pregnant or not. I have curbed my tendency to get a grande or venti in favor of a "baby-friendly" tall. In the cooler months, plain unsweetened hot coffee w/ milk.
Sometimes in the dead of winter I'll have the occasional peppermint mocha. In the summer, if i'm feeling thirsty, I'll opt for an unsweetened passion tea lemonade. Yum.
I COULD KISS YOU.
Starbucks' website has the caffeine content of each drink. For some reason, I feel like each shot of espresso was 100mg or less.
A tall has 1 shot, a grande and venti each have 2.
Whoops. My mistake 165mg in the grande iced coffee, no milk.
If you have a Caribou coffee near you (they may only be midwest), they already have their pumpkin drinks out! At Starbucks I usually get an iced venti green tea latte. Once it gets cold I switch to a grande soy cinnamon dolce or caramel brulee latte. I wish they'd come out with a spicy mocha!!
Oh there are so many wonderful things I order on a regular basis... You can easily google for caffeine content (though honestly, if you're just having one cup, it's probably just fine). Anyway, my faves:
Iced Caramel Macchiato
Skinny Vanilla Latte
Pumpkin Spice Latte (clearly the tops, but not available yet... sigh)
Raspberry White Mocha
Peppermint White Mocha
Iced Sweetened Passion Tea
Those are my standards! Now if you just want something yummy, get a flavored steamer. Just milk + your favorite flavoring! YUM!

Me and the Starbucks guy are tight. 9/9 is accurate! SO SOON!

Caramel Macchiato- you can get it in decaf- I have!
Vanilla Bean Frap is also good. Also, I sometimes just the the shaken iced tea lemonade when I want a cool refreshing drink!
I was just about to post something similar! I was drinking a tall, until I double checked the caffeine content and was thrilled to see that I could upsize to a Grande! That was one of the best days of this pregnancy!
I'm another Pumpkin Spice girl.
Also love the Cinnamon Dolce and passion iced tea if it's hot.
Lately coffee has been giving me too much heartburn, so I've gotten steamed milk with a flavour shot of something. I think I did hazelnut recently and it was goood.
Also, not a drink but... Petit Vanilla Bean Scone!!!! if you need a little nibbly
I only go to Starbucks once in a blue moon. When I go, I always get the caramel apple spice. So delicious.
This. I get the White Chocolate Mocha, usually Venti, half-caff (I don't know how much caffiene is in decaf espresso, so I assume that's a 75-100mg caffeine drink).
Like a pp said, it has a gazillion calories...but YUM!

It depends on the time of day and the temperature outside. If it's in the morning then I usually get a cinnamon dulce latte or an americano with cream and sugar. If its during the day then I get an iced coffee, iced caramel macchiato or one of the new lime refreshers.
MMM, I already had starbucks today, but now I really want an iced caramel macchiato....
A venti iced vanilla breve latte, light ice.
I've cut back to talls or grandes since being pregnant. I miss that gigantic 20 oz. goodness, though.
