Since I started cutting alcohol out of my diet, coffee has become my best friend. I used to NEVER go to Starbucks unless I had a serious hangover and needed a Venti green tea. Now I'm finding myself drinking three cups in the morning and my final cup before 5 p.m. Studies show that 4 cups of coffee may be good for your liver and prevent cancer. So the question is, can you drink Starbucks coffee on a diet? Yes, you can! Here are the top Starbucks drinks that are under 200 calories and low in fat starting with my favorite.
1. Skinny Vanilla Latte
Whether you order it hot or cold, this is an excellent choice especially, if you're looking for an after dinner drink. It's made with sugar free syrup and nonfat milk. A 16-ounce size has only 120 calories and 0 grams fat. It's my favorite because it's so satisfying and feels like I'm having dessert.
2. Teavana Shaken Ice Passion Tango Tea
With any of Starbuck's specialty tea's you need to ask for the unsweetened versions stay diet friendly. You can't go wrong with this unsweetened tea as it's only 10 calories for 20 ounces and zero grams of fat.
3. Classic Chai Tea Latte
This isn't one of the better choices when dieting, but if you can't fight the craving for that decadent chai spice go for it occasionally. Chai tea is higher in calories so you must ask for it without the added sweetener. With non fat milk, a tall size chai tea latte is 130 calories.
4. Brewed Coffee
Your number one best choice for coffee on a diet. I like Pike's Place Roast which is only 5 calories black! You can add a splash of nonfat milk and a stevia or two without the guilt. All the other flavors of Starbuck's brewed coffee's are also only 5 calories each.
5. Pineapple Kona Pop Brewed Tea
This zesty tea with brewed-in flavor is an excellent low calorie option that tastes like a treat. It's caffeine free and only 70 calories for a grande.
6. Caffe Americano
My husbands go to is the Caffe Americano as he is a caffeine-aholic in the morning. It's just espresso topped with water to create a layer of Crema. It's probably the richest coffee on the menu and is only 15 calories.
7. Coffee Mini Frappuccino
Same as the Chai Tea Latte, the mini coffee frappucino should be treated as an indulgence when dieting. The mini size is 150 calories made with whole milk, but will tide your sweet tooth over for a while. Even better, order the mini mocha light frappucino which is made with nonfat milk and just 80 calories.
8. Ombré Pink Drink
This is a new drink that's likely to have a permanent stay on the Starbucks menu due to its popularity. It's beautiful looking and includes a combination of creamy coconut milk, the Cool Lime Starbucks Refreshers Beverage, and a splash of Teavana Shaken Iced Passion Tango Tea. It's as healthy as it is gorgeous and boasts only 100 calories for a size grande.
9. Pumpkin Spice Latte
My second favorite Starbucks coffee that I wish wasn't just seasonal is the Pumpkin Spice Latte. A regular grande is a whopping 260 calories making the original a thumbs down for diet. However, if you pass on the whipped cream, and ask for one pump of the syrup and almond milk instead, you'll shave off 100 calories.
10. Peppermint Mocha
Ahhhh the peppermint mocha that reminds me of Christmas is quite the winter treat. However, if you order it as-is you're sure to add inches to your waistline. The original is 410 calories with 54 grams of sugar!! Ask for the skinny version with almond milk, no dark chocolate, no whip cream, and just one pump of flavored syrup. Now you're looking at only 160 calories and 1.5 grams of fat.
