Paleo cheat date

We recently took the boys to Starbucks for a fun night out. They enjoyed their yummy treats in tiny repurposed espresso cups.
What we used to get:
-A grande Iced Carmel Machiatto with Whole milk
-1-2 Petite Vanilla Bean Scones
What we got:
-I got the same thing (heck if I'm gonna cheat I'm gonna cheat, right)
-Mark got an Iced Carmel Machiatto with... Wait for it... HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM (ask me and ill explain why that's healthier for you). It was a staff first for that location.
-we brought our own almond flour shortbread cookies (only 3G of sugar per amazing cookie!)

What we used to get our kids:
-organic choc milk for each of them
-scone for Oliver
-rice crispy treat for Finn
What we got them this time:
-1 chic milk cut with milk to split
-almond flour shortbread cookies

Everyone was happy and healthier than we used to be. See, even some treat cheats are pretty acceptable on a rare occasion.
