I'm really obsessed with Starbucks, but hardly ever have the money it extra calories to enjoy it. Does anyone have any healthier recipes inspired by Starbucks coffee/food?

    We always buy Starbucks beans and make our coffee our self

    Mine is one espresso with almond milk ( this is a regular every evening)

    than we have the variations of cooked and wiped up foamy milk
    Cream on top yum
    and 2 tsp of Hensley chocolate syrup in it to make it a Mocha.

    Or Cinnamon for me i love that.
    Or Vanilla extract.
    Hazelnut syrup ( sugar free) etc etc I have a range of extracts to flavor the coffee up if i want to

    But i enjoy the simple espresso the most and with just (almond) milk

    All up to you.
    ****************

    We do weeks with one pound of Starbucks beans which is around 5 dollars ( with coupon on sale by Smith's sometimes)
    Much cheaper than buying it at Starbucks. Which we still do from time to time.
    But i love to go to Pinterest look up Starbucks recipes and make them my own...we love coffee in general.

    I am not a regular coffee drinker, but I like frou frou drinks that hardly taste like coffee. No idea if that appeals to you or not, but if so, my favorite was a pumpkin spice "latte" which I made in the blender with instant decaf coffee. Like you can taste the coffee after you add the pumpkin, milk, and honey!

    Iced coffee from Starbucks is a vice of mine. I make it at home using Starbucks Classic Syrup that they sell at Target for 10 bucks I think (2 pumps is 40 cal) and 2 tablespoons of half and half (40 cal).

    I've never been to Starbucks as I'm not a coffee drinker, but I did stumble across a recipe a couple weeks ago on the Skinnytaste website that is a lightened up version of Starbucks' Cranberry Bliss Bars. Original bar is 340 calories with 19 grams of fat; this version is just 149 calories with 5 grams of fat.

    Here is their recipe site...

    Maybe you can make them lower calorie by substituting some of the ingredients.

    I think that you can buy their low calorie syrups online at their web site.

    Do you have a HomeGoods store near you? I was in one in Birmingham, AL today and I found a whole bunch of low-to-no calorie/sugar free syrups for coffee drinks! Just like the syrups they use, but a whole bottle of syrup costs about the same as one cup of Starbucks coffee made by them! Obviously you need recipes to use them with, but thats a good place to start!

    Today I tried the syrup, and I came up with a recipe for it!
    10oz plain coffee
    1/2 cup original silk light
    1oz Sebastiano's salted caramel sugar-free syrup
    5 packets of splenda (add splenda or real sugar to taste, I just wanted it to be a bit sweeter so I added some splenda)
    The whole drink came out to be only 38 calories! And it was delicious! :smile:
