Does anyone know if Chai is allowed in any of the phases on South Beach diet. I know just a regular green tea chai is allowed. But I like the Chail Latte from Starbucks, with skim milk!

I'm not sure. It's my understanding that chai is very high in calories for some reason.
There are websites that recommend: DaVinci Gourmet Sugar Free Spiced Chai

The Starbucks chai has alot of sugar in it....so I can't see how it could possibly be allowed.
Also the green tea latte has even more!
A small green tea latte has 2 scoops of sugar enduced matcha powder and 3 pumps of melon syrup.
Here is a no sugar alternative, that in my opinion tastes even better:
Tea Mistos
You get the actual tea bags (not the pumps of tea concentrate). You can have it with skim milk and they offer both chai and green teas.
Ask the barista.

Oregon Chai makes a sugar free one! It's great and organic! I drink mine with skim milk hot or cold. (even good with soy milk)Plus as a treat once in a while it won't hurt. I'm on the South Beach and I can not get rid of my Chai, so I did not but I'm still loosing weight. My deli carries the sugar free chai. Or I buy it from Krogers.
