GTL (Green Tea Lemonade)

I just left starbucks with a GTL and as soon as I got back to work my boss said 'OMG WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO YOUR BABY!!!' I know Green Tea has some caffeine but is it really that bad? This will be my only caffeine intake for the day probably.

Your boss needs to STFU and mind her own business. You are totally fine to have caffeine. 

AngelSmitty: This reminds me of something my college Human Sexuality professor used to say in class. "Sex is between the legs. Gender is between the ears."

The only problem with Green Tea is that if you drink it around the same time as you take your PNV, it can mess with the Folic Acid being absorbed in your body adequately.

It's not really that big of an issue, though. The caffeine is minimal. I'm a huge green tea person, and I've definitely had my share of it (and things with WAY more caffeine.)

GTL is really not bad, even the trenta size doesn't have enough caffeine to be cause for concern! If you get it sweetened there's a lot of sugar in it but even still... it's not that big of a deal to have one!

I have a Carmel Mocchiatto every day. You can have 200 ml of caffine a day.  My coffee has 75.  You are more than ok.  Just another person who assumes they know what they are talking about.

You're fine!  You can definitely have some caffeine and I'd think that a green tea lemonade is probably not as high as many other drinks.  If you like that - you should try Panera's green tea.  It's amazing.  I've enjoyed many this pregnancy and that's straight up caffeine :)
