WooHoo!!!

As we get closer to the holidays your workouts become more beneficial by helping your stress levels, exercise = less stress, less stress = better you! So be sure to get your workouts in no matter if it is tuff boot camps, sessions, gym, or at home.

Had someone asking about caffeine in her latte & being unfamiliar I told her I would take a look & found alot of stuff here is a few popular drinks I am familiar with along with the calorie, sugar, & caffeine count for them. I cannot believe the sugar content in these, we shouldn't consume more than 40g of sugar (this is RDA, keep sugar lower than this & natural) in a day & a vanilla latte is 36g of sugar! Woof! Also keeping caffeine low will help reduce stress levels by not taxing the CNS too much.

Coffee 10cals 260mg caffeine
Decaf 10cals 20mg caffeine
Espresso (doppio—2 shots, 2 oz.) 10cals 130mg caffeine
Caffè Latte, nonfat 160cals 130mg caffeine
Iced Vanilla Latte (or other flavor), nonfat 160cals 29g sugar 130mg caffeine
Vanilla Latte (or other flavor), nonfat 230cals 38g sugar 130mg caffeine
Iced Vanilla Latte (or other flavor), whole 210cals 28g sugar 130mg caffeine
Vanilla Latte (or other flavor), whole 320cals 36g sugar 130mg caffeine
Caffè Latte, whole 260cals 19g sugar 130mg caffeine
Cappuccino, whole 150cals 11g sugar 130mg caffeine

Now you know what & how much is in those little caribou drinks!
