Healthier Starbucks Drinks
We totally get it: Starbucks is pretty much amazing from their drinks and treats to cute travel mugs. There are dozens of drink options like coffee, tea, and everything in-between. Depending on what you order and how you order it, your treat can really add up in calories and sugar- which is not healthy for anyone. Here are some tips to make healthier choices on your next Starbucks run!
- Go with a smaller size: Whatever you choose, chances are you don’t need a large serving of it. Getting a smaller size will avoid added calories and it will cost less.
- Skip the whipped cream and drizzle: I know it tastes great, but you don’t need the added sugar.
- Get the skim: Choose lower fat milk options. It will cut down on fat and calories.
- Try the teas: Starbucks has a variety of iced/hot tea flavors that are a healthier alternative to regular drinks since they are low in calories, sugar, and fat. They also keep you hydrated at the same time, which is an added bonus!
- The Teavana Shaken Iced Green Tea is full of antioxidants, has fewer calories, and is less expensive than most drinks.
- Love Chai Latte? Try the Cinnamon Chai Tea instead!
