[quote=Anonymous][quote]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.

230 calories is a wee bit shy of a snickers bar which also has 4 grams of protein. That is a lot for a single beverage.

Still not bad for a snack, and a lot less fat than a candy bar, and no trans fat, and ingredients you can recognize and pronounce. Nutrition is more than just calories. [/quote]
Really?  The woman who is advocating getting "two pumps of flavor" is also getting on her high horse about "ingredients you can recognize and pronounce?"  Lady, you have lost your damn mind.  I agree having a treat isn't a bad thing, but don't delude yourself into thinking you're channeling Michael Pollan when your enjoying your "pumps of flavor."  [/quote]
