[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Starbucks pumped flavors are 20 calories a pop.  The white chocolate syrup is 60 calories a pump.

So if you get four pumps of flavor in a drink, you are taking in between 80 and 240 calories, just for the flavoring.  That's a candy bar.

Not really. I'm the OP, I ask for two shots of flavor, four is way too sweet. A grande non fat chai with two pumps of flavor is between 200-230 calories, and has a lot of calcium and a bit of protein. Better than a candy bar, and more satistying as it takes a while to bring. Also getting some benefits from the chai tea.

Either way, it's figured into my daily calories. I typically get it as a midmorning or midafternoon snack to go along with fruit, and I don't get it every day. I'm at a healthy weight, eat healthy, and am active. Really, it's good to be aware of these things but most responsible adults will be okay. [/quote]

I tried that today OP and I LOVED IT!!! I told the guy at Starbucks that someone had tried that by accident and said it was really good... he told me that with "dulce de lech" is really good too.

Anyway, I ordered a small, skinny chai latte with two pumps of pumpkin flavor... What was the calories of that? I ALWAYS order skinny iced vanilla late. I don't even know what is a chai latte actually, but it was very good today![/quote]

Glad you liked it! If you are ordering a tall skinny chai with just two pumps you are well under 200 calories. [/quote]
