Best Food of the Week: Lean Pockets 4 cheese
Why: tasty and neat, like a little pizza burrito, only 300 calories and 7 grams of fat, less than a buck apiece, microwave cookable, and now with a handy take along "On-the-Go" crisping sleeve (yes, that last is from their website) but they have the right idea. The breakfast ones can go with you in the car without making too much mess, and my hat is off to whomever created the term "crisping sleeve." I'm a believer! There are gobs of different flavors with similar fat content and I will be trying them. Get yours today!
WORST WORST WORST Drink of the Week: Starbucks Skinny Mocha with sugar free mocha syrup
Why: this was so bitter and saccharine-y I didn't even finish it. To quote Roman, who had a little sip, "It tastes like gas!" If you say this fast, it's even funnier. Anyway, worst $3.84 I have spent in recent memory. Now I'm looking at the on-line literature, and the real mocha with nonfat milk is 2.5 grams of fat/220 calories compared to the skinny mocha, 0 grams of fat/130 calories. I will sooooo be ordering the original mocha and walking the stairs like 6 extra times. Maybe the skinny latte is better, but considering that the menu picture shows it with a piece of marble coffee cake (24 fat grams/490 calories) what are they really trying to sell us? So here's my suggestion: just order your drink with nonfat milk/regular syrup, no cake, and take the stairs?!?!? Your tastebuds and glutes will thank you. Tee hee!

Lolo- Try the "skinny" cinnamon dulce latte. I love it and don't think it tastes like (g)as. But then again, I dated a smoker recently and for the first time ever thought it was fine, so maybe I can't recognize (g)as anymore? Or maybe he was HOT and I was just getting dizzy?
Skinny Starbucks sucks!
OR just have whatever drink you want and have the Lean Pocket for breakfast rather than Sbucks pastry. It's a treat to utilize a crisping sleeve!
