    OK-time to give up my daily Starbuck's habit (trying to save some $$). What is a good low calorie coffee creamer that would compare to a caramel macchiato?

    Have you tried coffee?

    They have coffee in light, medium, and a dark roast. I drink it black ( 5 calories) or add in a splash of half/half which sets you back about 20 - 40 calories. It's only $2 for a cup of coffee at Starbucks. If you're forcing yourself to drink it by adding flavored syrups then perhaps you just don't like coffee. Maybe you never really tried it or explored the various blends?


    ETA: A caramel macchiato isn't exactly coffee. Sure it has coffee in it but it doesn't taste like coffee.

    I bought SB's sugar-free caramel syrup at SB for $10.

    How many calories are in that?

    International Delight has a Caramel Macchiato creamer. I think it's like 35 cal/Tbsp. It is pretty sweet though, so I am generally ok with about a tsp and a little stevia or splenda.

    I have a ton of co-workers who swear by this stuff (it's apparently sugar-free also) when they don't go to Starbucks. And wow! Sorry you've had so many people who can't seem to read your post, lol! Like, you were pretty clear in what you were asking, so not sure where all the Starbucks-hating trolls came from!

    tall cold brew with a pump of caramel sweetner is only 25 calories.

    0, I believe. I'll have to check the bottle when I get home.

    The best option is to not go to Starbucks. The best option is to not consume 500 calorie coffee flavored beverages.

    Not everything there is 500-calories. I get the Venti Cold Brew Blended (5-calories) and add a scoop of protein powder for my morning coffee on the regular. And it isn't that expensive ($3.34)

    Right? I thought it was just me! I guess there are some coffee purists out there who take this stuff very seriously! :D

    I will be picking this stuff up STAT! Thank you! <3
