Maple Scone Reality
One of the best parts of doing our regular saturday morning bike ride is to stop at Starbucks after for a coffee and scone. All was well in the world until Starbucks posted the government mandated calorie counts for the Maple scone. Now I’m depressed. Here I thought I was going for the “healthier” of the pastry items that Starbucks has to offer. I mean its a maple OAT NUT scone. How bad can it be if it has oats and nuts. Turns out pretty bad. I strolled into Starbucks one day last week for a coffee and saw the bad news. Turns out the stupid apple fritter is a better calorie choice!
