mcginn0425 48 Posted November 17, 2014 Does anyone have any suggestions on healthier versions of their favorite Starbucks drinks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
par1959 470 Posted November 17, 2014 Sure drink straight coffee no additives. Thats what I do. You will get use to it. I now love straight dark roast. It makes one bark:)and is a great appetite supressant. Also the cheepest no calorie drink on the menu. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jessiquoi 623 Posted November 17, 2014 i was always a fan of their "skinny" lattes, which are non fat and sugar free. my fave was the skinny vanilla Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gruiz27 218 Posted November 17, 2014 Passion tea with lemonade. Sweetened or un sweeten is good I can tolerate both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livvsmum 2,369 Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) Also a fact i learned is that there is a size smaller than a tall; it is a short. I order a short skinny caramel latte when I go there. Low calories, low carbs, low sugar. Edited November 17, 2014 by livvsmum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RenewMe 64 Posted November 17, 2014 "Skinny" options are good, even substituting with soy doesn't bring calorie count up much. I primarily order skinny iced & hot vanilla lattes, soy mistos & Very berry Hibiscus'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimpossible67 608 Posted November 18, 2014 Make your own! Davinci syrups sell every sugar free Syrup there is. I worked in a coffe shop and came up with lots of ideas for low carb options. One in particular I was famous in a small town for, lol. I called it better than sex. It was an iced coffee with heavy cream (you could use skim, almond, etc). I put that and a shot of sugar free chocolate, a packet of sugar free hot chocolate and a tablespoon of Peanut Butter in a blender that crushes ice. Use as much Fluid as necessary to get it to iced coffee texture. I topped it with whip and drizzled it with Sugar Free Chocolate. This was 10 years ago when Atkins was getting big. To this day 8 mths out, I still do my variations of Atkins. I don't worry about fat. I learned when you buy most products that are low or fat free, they often replace the fat with sugar. My body and sugar do not need to be in the same place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forsythia 882 Posted November 19, 2014 Skinny caramel iced coffee (decaf if you prefer) any size. coffee has no calories. Skinny caramel gives you flavor with no calories or fat. You can ask them to add some Creamer, but they add a lot. You have to ask them to go very light, or you can add your own at the condiment table. a TSP of creamer is 35 calories.

Kate M 60 Posted November 19, 2014 I think the Atkins French Vanilla tastes like a vanilla frappacino. Put it in a blender with ice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jess9395 5,449 Posted November 20, 2014 I think the Atkins French Vanilla tastes like a vanilla frappacino. Put it in a blender with ice I use it as a coffee creamer and make my own lattes! You just reminded me I need to buy some more! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LipstickLady 25,682 Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) Skinny hazelnut latte for hot. Skinny caramel iced coffee with skim milk for cold. I also love a skinny cafe americano if I want coffee not espresso or a skinny hazelnut macchiato upside down, hot or cold, if I want something stronger. I love a Starbucks.
