UHH, YUM!
With two new sandwiches and plenty of delicious options (vegetarian or meat lover), you are sure to find the perfect one to start your day. A hearty mix of [lean] protein, fat and [whole grain] carbohydrates will be sure to keep you "stick-to-your-ribs" full til lunch time!
My favorite? Turkey Bacon, Egg Whites, Low Fat Cheddar on English Muffie! At only 320 calories, what's not to love about this satisfying breakfast?

Liquid Motivation

Man, have I been drowning when it comes to finishing my article. If you don't recall, I am a huge Starbucks Junky who has a research article problem! ; )

Well, seriously...I am currently researching nutrition labeling laws and the implementation of nutrition programs in non-chain restaurants [as I have previously mentioned] and need SOMETHING to motivate me to write!! So, my professor and I have made a personal deadline for final edits before submitting to a journal, set for May 1st! Hello, that came fast!

Do you ever find that getting out of your house or office and finding a "remote location" gives you more motivation to work?

Well, my thought was get up, go to Starbucks and what better motivation than liquid motivation; consisting of a Grande Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Latte? um, sinless, tasteful treat in a cup : )

The Skinny: 16 fl oz sticks you with only 130 calories, 0 gm fat, 12 gm protein and a generous 40% helping of calcium...hiiiyo!

It even held me over for lunch so I could wait until I got home. Double whammy!

My banana and Kashi TLC bar will hang in the bag for another working day.

So I fulfill my Starbucks needs and get underway on my article while watching my waist line and well, only hurting my wallet ; )
