Hm. I am trying to get more soy in my diet, so for Starbucks, I am a fan of a soy latte, with lots of foam. The foam they do at the store is much, much better than the foam I can do at home.

IMHO, I would think about your motivation about getting a drink after exercise. Is it for reward? For energy? Are you trying to lose weight with your basketball or are you just enjoying the exercise with 'the boys?'

If you are trying to be "healthy," then something lower calorie, and with more nutritional value, is better. Best to ask the barista what a good low-cal beverage is.

If you just want something to enjoy, then go with the flavors you like. For Starbucks, for me, that is something chai, with mocha. If I am being good I have an Italian soda with light syrup, so it is low calorie, but has sparkle to it but also has flabvor. If I am doing soy, I do a short soymilk, foamed up to the hilt. That way I get a lot of foam but I also get less calories per serving.

Just some thoughts. YMMV. Whatever you get, enjoy it and do not feel guilty!

Starbucks' Strawberries and Cream Frappacino. I love this stuff, but I'm only allowed to have it in airports

Jamba Light Strawberry Nirvana. Only 180 calories? This is light? I like it but 180 calories is not light. That's more than a Coke.
