HEALTH

 

Everyone loves Starbucks (even our girl Bethany Mota!), but it’s not always the best idea to order a venti Frappuccino with extra whip. Here are a few of the healthier alternatives to guide you through the difficult decision-making so you can stay hyrdated, healthy *and* happy.

 

Caramel Light Frappuccino: With nonfat milk and no whip, this all-time favorite clocks in at 140 calories and 29 grams of sugar for a 16 oz. grande. It tastes just as yummy as the regular caramel frappuccino, but your tummy will thank you later.

 

Skinny Vanilla Latte (iced or hot): A vanilla latte at Starbucks is a classic; ask for nonfat milk and you’ll only be consuming 150 calories, 27 grams of sugar, and 9 grams of protein—does this mean we can have a SVL (skinny vanilla latte) for brekkie??? 

 

Teavana Iced Passion Tango Tea: This vibrant tea is not only a beautiful hue of red, but is also a refreshing upgrade to your water bottle. For a grande Iced Passion Tango Tea, it is only 45 calories and 11 grams of sugar! 

 

Mocha Light Frappuccino: This delish combo of mocha sauce, coffee and nonfat milk will surely put a smile on your face. For only 110 calories and 21 grams of sugar for a tall, why not?! 

 

Iced coffee: Without milk or sugar, this drink comes to <5 calories, but even if you add a splash of both, this cool drink will remain under 100 calories (depending upon how much you add).

 

Caffé Americano (iced or hot): It sounds fancy, but this drink contains shots of espresso combined with water, adding up to only 10 calories and absolutely no sugar (if you choose to drink it ‘black’).
