410 Calories! (Starbucks Egg Nog Latte)

November 19th, 2006

410 Calories. 20% of a normal adult’s daily calories. All sucked down in one festive holiday-red paper cup. I’m talking about the Grande Egg Nog Latte at Starbucks. It’s true, egg nog is a special treat this time of year. (Unless you buy egg nog in those cans available all year round. And that’s just wrong.) Then Starbucks goes and whips it up with my innocent 10 calorie morning coffee. The result? 410 calories. That’s like eating a Quarter Pounder every morning!

It may go with the whole ‘bulking up for the winter hibernation’ theory, but beware the creamalicious, irresistible Egg Nog Latte. Need a healthy alternative? Try the White Chocolate Frappucino — 610 calories with whip available all year round!!
