Being diabetic does not mean that one must only take boring drinks. Here are some delicious beverages that anyone, including diabetics, can enjoy: 1. Unsweetened iced tea can be tasty, especially if infused with herbs, fruit peels, etc. 2. Coffee with no sugar can be an acquired taste, but try adding artificial sweeteners in moderation. 3.

TIL that I have no sense of self-restraint when Trader Joe’s extra spicy ginger beer is involved—I drank an entire 25 oz bottle this evening. Why am I like this? *shakes head at self*

Flavors of the Underground

So this is the second drink for today and its a good one.

The mystery drink this time is a Raspberry Kiwi Italian Soda. Its just really nice and refreshing. Thats all I really have to say about it.

Today’s mystery drink is part one of two as right now, its just cold enough to want a hot drink, like coffee or chocolate but sunny and warm enough that Im going to want something cold later.

Anyways, the drink: carmel apple hazelnut latte with whip cream and carmel drizzle

Thoughts: I had a rather similar drink to this a little while ago, which was just carmel apple but I have to say that I definitely prefer it with the hazelnut because Im not the world’s biggest fan of carmel and the hazelnut definitely counters a bit of the carmel flavor and brings out the apple a little better which is nice.

Im back in the Coffee House!

Todays mystery drink: Carmel Apple Latte

Thoughts: I like it. Its what i would have expected a candied apple to taste like when i was younger, where neither the caramel flavor or the apple overpowers the other.
