    I was gonna give a smart *kitten* answer, but someone beat me to it.....

    So I will say, Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Latte

    For me, my usual is a Mocha, non fat, no whip, with sugar free caramel syrup.......or the one I listed above on occasion.

    I pretty much survive my classes on skinny hazelnut lattes. I get a grande and the main nutrition facts are:

    Calories: 120
    Fat: 0 g
    Protein: 12g
    Carbs: 19g
    Sodium: 170mg
    Calcium: 40%

    Plus they taste absolutely delicious :) or if you get them iced it's obviously less and also just as tasty!

    I second Jenni - the skinny peppermint mocha - 12 oz is only 100 calories and worth every drop

    I really don't like going half-assed at starbucks. The coconut mocha frappuchino is to die for, as well as the vanilla bean frap. I'm not a huge fan of the hot stuff but their caramel machiattos are pretty good.

    I kind of want to taste it once to see what the fuzz is all about. It's way to expensive to buy on a regular basis.

    I always get a Caramel Macchiato. It's not overbearingly sweet like some of the drinks.

    Can't actually recommend as I've never been keen on anything from there, but can empathise on the whats the fuss thing? I tried my damn hardest to love Krispy Kreme when it opened near me :sick:

    Get the Amazon Local coupon that gets your a free kids' sized hot chocolate with the purchase of an adult espresso! Beyond that, I guess order an espresso and enjoy a hot chocolate with it.

    Guys, I got really excited about this <150 cal peppermint mocha, buut on the Starbucks site the skinny 12oz is 220? Is there something else that makes it "skinnier" besides skim milk and holding the whip? (http://www.starbucks.com/menu/drinks/espresso/peppermint-mocha#size=179560&milk=61&whip=NA)

    I usually go with a skinny vanilla latte when I need a coffee boost. 100cals for the tall. Here are some other low-cal ones recommended on their website: http://www.starbucks.com/menu/nutrition/20-under-200

    Tall (small) White Chocolate Mocha with nonfat milk & no whipped cream... tons of sugar but only 270 calories, I think. Starbucks has a nutritional calculator on their website that lets you customize your drink and see all of the nutrition facts.

    I like the white chocolate mochas and the pumpkin spice latte when they are selling it. I don't really worry about the calorie counts at starbucks because I might go 4 times a year or less. Too expensive when I can brew some coffee at home that's just as good and drink it black with a packet of stevia powder for essentially zero calories.

    I like coffee though.

    Skinny peppermint mocha - 1/2 as many pumps of peppermint - or a skinny vanilla latte! Mmmmm.

    Skinny drinks are lowest in calories (sugar-free syrup, no whipped cream, and skim milk), but I treat myself to the regular ones (with soy milk because I can't have dairy) only occasionally because I try to avoid artificial sweeteners. To cut calories, I usually get a double tall. It has an extra shot of espresso, so there is less room for milk. I suppose a double short (the smallest size) would be even better.

    My starbucks standard is a grande vanilla soy latte. Nothing too fancy, but its more calories than I like in my coffee.

    so mostly I just brew at home and drink it black.

    I'm lucky enough to really enjoy filter (especially starbucks), and don't like the fancy stuff

    5kcal a cup and I'm happy :D

    I used to buy Starbucks all the time. Now I can't really reason spending the money when I have coffee carts.

    But my trick (taught to me by a friend who is recovering from an ED but the trick's still valid) is to get an iced coffee and ask for a sugar-free flavor shot (peppermint, vanilla, hazelnut, etc). Then you can add skim milk and sweetener if you like.

    Half the price of a skinny drink and pretty damn tasty!

    I love to get earl grey tea latte. Their online calculator shows it to be about 160 calories with 2% milk.
