    So my suggestion:
    Its okay to have some calories, just limit them.

    Coffee with skim / 2% milk / cinnamon or other powdered flavors is fine. I have 1-2 cups a day cause the added 40 cal per cup is not a big deal.

    Some of their light drinks (frapacinos for example) might also be fine if they fit within your calorie goals-- they'll probably be 100-200 calories. They also likely use splenda instead of sugar (so its up to you, some people are dead set against splenda).

    The refreshers only have 40-60 calories depending on the size. You can order lime or berry hibiscus.

    Black coffee. Also, if you don't drink a lot of caffinated beverages normally, make sure and get decaf, since Starbucks coffee is very caffinated.

    I love the skinny vanilla latte but it comes in around 120 for the small one.

    LOL
    If that's how you feel, then you'd probably go into cardiac arrest if you ever drank European or Australian coffee!!

    Black coffee obviously...but if you want some foamy goodness- ask for a coffee with a skim foam topper. It's 75% coffee, 25% steamed foamy mile on top.

    Similar to a cafe misto(cafe au lait other places) except insted of it being half coffee and half milk, the percentage of coffee is more so cals will end up being less. Regular tall(12 oz) skim cafe misto is 60 cals. It probably end up being only 35-40.

    They have a whole new category of Light Frappuccinos. I LOVE them!! I get a Mocha Frappuccino Light. It's a grande for only 130 cals.

    My go-to drink is a grande non-fat iced latte. 90 cals and none of that syrup stuff.

    I don't like the artificial sweeteners so I get the latte with skim milk (130 for the grande) then add 2 packets of raw sugar (30 calories) and cinnamon. Very yummy!

    Watch out for those B&N cafes. Some of them have actual Starbucks stores. Our's here locally, has the "Proudly Serving Starbucks" logo, but it's not an actual Starbucks. They just use Starbucks coffee.

    Trust me, I love some good strong coffee! But Starbucks does have more caffeine than most coffee in the US: about 22 mg/oz, as compared to 13.2 mg/oz in Dunkin Donuts coffee and 9/1 mg/oz in McDonalds coffee. Here's the link: http://www.energyfiend.com/the-caffeine-database

    Tall Soy cappuccino!! :)

    The soy "milk" at Starbucks is basically sugared water, thats why it tastes so great!!! For low cal, i'd stay far away from it, both because of the sugar content and the soy content!

    FF caramel latte if I'm being good.

    But a White Chocolate salted caramel latte really hits the spot. I might have 2 a year, but my god they are GOOD!
