Starbucks Salted Caramel Mocha

I am not one to stop at Starbucks often.  I hate drinking my calories. What a waste! I would usually rather have the food and the $4 that I would spend on the coffee. But, I have heard so much about the Salted Caramel Mocha that I absolutely had to give it a  try. I think eating right is important but I am not the food police. I like a splurge just as much as anyone does.

For me, this splurge was well worth it!!! I had the grande with skim milk.  And I am totally ok with the 290 calories that I sipped slowly so I could enjoy every bit of it.  I would define this splurge as the perfect treat for a cool crisp fall morning.  It is worth the extra hour that I am going to have to walk this week and I accept that. So if you are tempted just like I am to enjoy a yummy dessert-like fall coffee treat, enjoy it! Just be sure to commit to adding the extra exercise or skipping something else to make up for those calories.

PS.  The same rule applies to the Pumpkin Spice Latte!
