    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.

    Cheapest, best for you, black coffee.... Or save a ton of money... Stay home and brew your own.

    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.

    Water

    Ice

    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.
