There’s probably no taste I love more than the combination of coffee, chocolate, sugar, and milk. Hot or cold, lattes or mochachinos, with or without whipped cream on top, I have been a number one fan of the sweet chocolate Starbucks scam to rid me of my money.<\/p>\n
I didn’t specifically look it up, but something tells me the South Beach Diet frowns on mocha lattes. It actually recommends that you cut out coffee altogether or only drink decaf. I figured this cutting out coffee thing was a matter to be looked at in relative terms. You’ve been drinking a cup of coffee a day? Well, try to quit for this diet. You’ve been drinking a pot of coffee a day? Then let’s just try to get that down to two or three cups.<\/p>\n
I cut down to one cup of coffee first thing in the morning. And one more at work. And…um…I really did try to stop there.<\/p>\n
But I kept thinking about mocha lattes, and then I started making these protein shakes for my breakfast, and then I got this idea.<\/p>\n
It goes like this.<\/p>\n
Blend one cup of milk, one cup of coffee, one scoop of sugar free protein powder, one spoon of cocoa, and one spoon of Splenda.<\/p>\n
I probably won’t take any business away from Starbucks, but I enjoyed it, and after drinking that for breakfast, I didn’t feel hungry again until lunch time.<\/p>\n
And so I forge ahead with South Beach by learning how to make the diet fit my food preferences rather than the other way around. It’s a small victory, but I’ll take them where I can get them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
