How Many Calories ... in a Blueberry Scone?

I'll admit it: I'm a bit addicted to Starbucks. It's just so darn convenient. There's one near my house, my office -- heck, there's even one in my grocery store. Since coffee is definitely a staple of my diet, I end up in the Starbucks line-up fairly often.

And I usually do stick to coffee, except on a rare occasion when I've either forgotten to pack a healthy snack or was in too much of a hurry to grab a healthy meal. In such an event, the baked goods call out my name from their home behind the glass window, and, with stomach grumbling uncomfortably, I am powerless to resist.

I'm not a fan of super sweet cakes and donuts, so I tend to stick to things like muffins and scones. But are they any healthier than the sweet stuff?

The answer is 460 calories, 18 g of fat, and 20 g of sugar. Ay ay ay - so much for less sugar. These scones are not exactly healthy and there are much better choices for quick hunger fixes out there, so make sure they're only a rare indulgence. And once the new Starbucks breakfast menu takes effect, there should be no trouble finding something delicious and more nutritious when hunger strikes.
