5 Low-cal Starbucks drink options.
If you’re anything like my 13 year old daughter, you love the flavored, diabetes in a cup served up at Starbucks. Drinking these calories can really hinder progress if you’re trying to lose weight, or “watch what you eat”.
Here’s a few options that can still get you some flavor and caffeine you crave.
1. Caffè Americano:
– A classic choice that’s simply espresso shots topped with hot water.
– Opt for a sugar-free syrup if you want to add flavor without extra calories.
– Depending on the size and any additional add-ons, a tall (12 oz.) Caffè Americano typically ranges from 5 to 15 calories.
2. Cappuccino:
– Made with espresso, steamed milk, and a light layer of foam.
– For flavor, you can add sugar-free syrups like vanilla or cinnamon dolce.
– A tall (12 oz.) Cappuccino with nonfat milk and no added syrup contains approximately 60 calories.
3. Skinny Vanilla Latte:
– This option features espresso, steamed nonfat milk, and sugar-free vanilla syrup.
– It’s a lower-calorie alternative to the classic Vanilla Latte.
– A tall (12 oz.) Skinny Vanilla Latte contains about 100 calories.
4. Iced Coffee:
– Refreshing and customizable, you can add sugar-free syrups or a splash of milk for flavor.
– Request light or no classic syrup to further reduce calories.
– A tall (12 oz.) Iced Coffee with no classic syrup and a splash of nonfat milk is typically under 30 calories.
5. Cold Brew Coffee:
– Smooth and bold, cold brew is naturally lower in acidity and can be enjoyed black or with a splash of milk.
– Add sugar-free syrups like caramel or hazelnut for flavor without extra calories.
– A tall (12 oz.) Cold Brew with a splash of nonfat milk and no added syrup usually contains around 25 calories.
When ordering, you can customize your drink by choosing nonfat milk or milk alternatives like almond to further reduce calories. Additionally, opting for sugar-free syrups or requesting less syrup can help cut down on added sugars and calories. Remember that the calorie content may vary based on the size and specific customization of your drink.
