What can I drink at Starbucks?

elldel · November 2015

I'm obsessed with that place and the thought of not being able to enjoy it for the next nine months makes me so sad! I read online that under 200 mg of caffeine a day is okay; do any of you other mamas drink Starbucks? If so, what do you normally get?

I found this list:

I was ordering decaf lattes at first but now I'm going with the odd mocha (when I can stomach coffee, that is).

Meh, I get what I want. Get decaf if you are concerned. I personally wouldn't function with a one year old if not for Starbucks or Tim Hortons coffee.

Anything, coffee is fine in moderation

I get what I want. This is my third baby so maybe I'm more relaxed. I eat and drink what I want.

Rory Gilmore GIF for the win!

Thanks, @juliagulia38

#lurker ...You can drink most anything at Starbucks. If you are concerned ask for half-decaf. Honestly, it is a lot of work to get to 200 mg.

***lurking from june***

Grande iced coffee (I fill to top of a venti cup with milk for protein &calcium)

Grande lattes or holiday drinks (they have 2 shots of espresso which are 75mg each)

Iced tea

Iced passion tango tea- no caffeine or calories (if unsweetened) and the bitterness seriously helps my MS!

Hot coffee - not exactly sure of caffeine amount

Everything can be found on Starbucks website... I live by it!!

Yep. Anything you want within the 200mg limit. Just be prepared to get the stink eye from whoever is making your coffee and others in line later on. Also, if you ask for green tea, you're going to get the stink eye but order what you want to.

I'd be careful of size though... I figured a regular size Dunkin would be fine and it's like 350-400 mg of caffeine!!! You can google caffeine counts, not sure it's posted in their websites

I like the vanilla steamed milk

katiebartton · November 2015

I usually order my preferred drink as half decaf

Apple cider steamer is amazing and no caffeine!
Also steamed eggnog with nutmeg is the perfect holiday drink.
Any of their drinks can be made as a "short" which is the size smaller than "tall". A short is 8oz which is the recommended serving size for most drinks- tall is a serving and a half, grande is 2 servings.

I just found this list of herbal teas to avoid during pregnancy while I was desperately trying to convince myself that I can have peppermint tea to ease my nausea...might help!

So is eggnog safe as long as it has been steamed or heated up?

My favorite is the passion iced tea. My last pregnancy the barista making my tea told me how it was bad for the baby and didn't want to give me my drink. Needless to say I left with my drink and talked with my OB about it. Him & the midwives said it was fine in small amounts. I drank that tea almost every other day during pregnancy & everything turned out great. I also had raspberry leaf tea the last 4-6 weeks of pregnancy.

I go for decaf lattes - especially now that the holidays are here. I just ask that they only put half the amount of syrup that they normally use when ordering a specialty one.

decoycandy · November 2015

Most eggnog that is commercially made are pasteurized, it's the homemade stuff I think you need to worry about, but ask your doctor to be sure.

cpocks · November 2015

I'm having the steamed egg nog with nutmeg this morning and it is delicious! Thanks for the idea!!!

nopegoat · November 2015

I am with @juliagulia38. I pretty much eat and drink whatever. Moderation and common sense are key.

katyburgan · November 2015

Decaf peppermint mocha! Yum!

Pull up the Starbucks app and look at the nutritional facts while you're in the drive through line. I haven't had to change my order at all, although I like more of the sugary drinks than straight up coffee.
