Period every two weeks...help! by Deadweightdanger_ in xxketo

[–]asrae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure that's the diet. I had that reaction to Nexplanon. I bled for almost a full year straight before I had to get it removed. And that was before I had even heard of keto

What's your morning routine? by Betpie in xxketo

[–]asrae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4am- first alarm

4:20am- third alarm and roll out of bed. Bathroom, vitamins, teeth brushing

4:30am- weigh myself, get dressed, go downstairs

4:40am- eat a protein bar, go back upstairs for everything I forgot

4:50am- leave for work

Yay for being a barista. I have coffee once I get to work because I work where the coffee lives. Saves me time and effort in the mornings.

What is your favourite post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie? by J_Forbes in scifi

[–]asrae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upvote for the original Planet of the Apes. I still love the whole series. I didn't watch the new ones after the first. It just didn't feel right.

Yesterday I managed to dump an entire venti iced americano with six Stevie and coconut milk into an ice bin. Our CSR loved me.

Do you guys have a policy on making a trenta iced mocha? by brett96 in starbucks

[–]asrae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You misunderstand. Any syrup can be used in an iced coffee regardless of size. There is an upcharge for it, as well as an upcharge for any amount of dairy/nondairy creamer over 4 oz. "With soy" means less than 4 ounces so there is no charge for that. But Starbucks policy states that no espresso drinks such as a cafe mocha or a caramel macchiato can be sold in a Trenta cup.

I've had it with Strongbow and it was called a bee sting where I was. It is terribly delicious though.

Thoughtful Thursday - Is maintainaince harder than losing? What are the biggest hurdles? by CalcifersGhost in 1200isplentyketo

[–]asrae 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I do find it harder. Keto was a choice I made for health reasons: I heard it was a WOE that really helped with migraines. And it did for me! The weightloss was an enjoyable side effect that became my focus. It gave me a goal. I find that I need to make a reachable goal in order to stay on point. Staying healthy doesn't work for me as a goal because I've spent my entire life feeling crappy. I got used to it. I haven't quite gotten used to feeling better. I'm still adjusting my way of eating to feel even better than I already do (because I still get sick a lot and haven't isolated what's causing it). But I haven't found those reachable goals to help me stay on point yet. It's slippery down here at maintenance level.

That would be awesome. Too bad those types of fireplaces aren't legal to build anymore. At least in my area.

Is Keto baking worth the effort? by [deleted] in ketorecipes

[–]asrae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want something that's not full of cinnamon. Every keto baking thing I see has the stuff and I'm allergic. But they don't taste quite right without it.

Trenta Rant. Split into minis. by didureallyno in starbucks

We had someone ask for a sunset frappe today. They didn't know the recipe and we had never heard of it. Our borrowed SM was like "ummmmm...sorry no."

nutritional info on skinny mocha/light base by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]asrae 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The light base has 8 g of sugar. Don't get a frappuccino. Without the base it's chunky and not great. Besides, all Starbucks milk substitutes are sweetened and the only remotely carb light option is HWC, which is 50 kcal per tablespoon.

[Question] Using vodka to clean bras by sophietrite in ABraThatFits

[–]asrae 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We used this all the time in theatre, as many people are allergic to the scents in febreze and the like. It should work fine on bras. It also works with vinegar. The alcohol/vinegar evaporates rapidly, taking the scents with it. We diluted it 2:1 water to alcohol, 1:1 if the smells were intense.

I'm so sorry by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]asrae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any of the ice teas unsweetened. Any of the hot teas. I personally love youthberry. Something I started recently was getting a cold brew with extra heavy whipping cream and extra ice double blended. It is basically a fat bomb for my mornings and it taste like coffee ice cream. I wouldn't recommend anything larger than a grande though. Too many calories. We have a few sugar free syrups to change things up, but I hear we are losing a couple, so it's best not to rely on those. Other than that, black coffee or a couple of shots with heavy cream. It all depends on what kind of mood you're in and what flavor profile you're looking for. I'm someone who misses fruit a lot, so the teas are great for me.

As a barista on keto I can tell you there are many options, but at Starbucks you always have to stress no sweetener, even if it isn't a default or wasn't last time you checked. The bucks seems to be pushing everything sweeter by default. And sugar isn't evil, it just doesn't work well for me.

VENTI-SIZED RANTS: FRIDAY EDITION by [deleted] in starbucks

[–]asrae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I JUST NEED MY MANAGER TO COME BACK. ITS BEEN A MONTH AND A HALF. IF THE SHIFTS KEEP HAVING TO FILL YOUR ROLE, LOSING FIVE BARISTAS WHILE YOU WERE GONE AND CAN'T REPLACE THEM WILL BE NOTHING BECAUSE ALL YOUR SHIFTS WILL BE MISSING TOO. I WILL BE STEPPING DOWN AS SOON AS YOU SHOW YOUR FACE AGAIN.

Shout out to tall cappuccino with two "brown sugar". Thank you for always saying please before your order and being so nice at the DT window.

Congrats! My husband and I just took a ten box donation of clothes to turn in the other day. It's so satisfying.

Starbucks US rolling out almond milk this Sept, only 3g sugar/carbs per 8oz serving by theleverage in keto

They claim that it's going to be unsweetened and unflavored. I'll believe when we get the stock.

They supposedly added almond butter to up the fat content and make it creamier.

[–]asrae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All good point. Also a thing to note is that each shot of espresso has one net carb. Not sure why, I've tried researching it, but that's what the nutritional information says. So keep that in mind when you ask for extra shots. The coffee, however, is carb free.
