    Since it was the holidays, peppermint mocha. Other than that I like the caramel macchiato or caramel frappuccino during the summer.

    This is why I was taking a break from Starbucks up until they brought the holiday drinks back.

    I usually get the mocha frapppuccino light, or some sort of nonfat drink with no whip. :) I love my Starbucks, so it's a treat I refuse to deprive myself of.

    Grande Black Coffee (sometimes decaf if it is later in the day).

    I very occasionally get a tall vanilla latte, but if I am planning on drinking 200 calories, I usually prefer it be a mix of gin and tonic.

    I've been concerned with calories for as long as I've been drinking coffee, so I never gorged on the calorie-loaded drinks. When I was in high school, I had a lot of light frappuccinos (Java Chip was my favorite), but as I got more into coffee, I gave those up and switched to skinny lattes and macchiatos (and I loved them all).

    I've recently given up artificial sweeteners because my boyfriend and I are trying to eat more clean, whole foods. In the last few months, I've had Starbucks only as a treat. I drink them hot or iced, depending on the season, and always with soy milk due to a milk allergy. I usually opt for a tall caramel or hazelnut macchiato because they're slightly lower in calories than most others. I feel like it's too much money to get not get a delicious flavor, but now that I'm trying to cut down on sugar for health reasons, I might try some without syrup.

    I have an espresso maker at home, so most days, I just have a shot or two of espresso with unsweetened (vanilla) almond milk, either hot or cold.

    1. Nonfat no whip 2 pump cinnamon dolce latte (175 cals, if I'm feeling fancy).
    2. Iced/hot Americano with about 2 tbsp 1/2 & 1/2 (about 65 cals)

    So I've been seeing lots of posts on here like wahhhh my coffee was 700 calories and I had no idea, did you really have no Idea, whole milk? caramel, chocolate, extra sugar, cream, etc.

    Anyways, I feel like coffee drinks get such a bad rep like everyone is like you can NEVER have anything but a black coffee from a coffee chain or you'll die, or you need to get the smallest size and consider it a treat. I disagree, I know some people are against artificial sweetners, but I don't care, I love starbucks, and I always get the same thing: skinny vanilla (or skinny caramel) latte with soy, yes soy adds more calories than the regular skinny latte but i prefer the taste, it tastes rich and thick instead of watery. Anyways, a venti (so 24 ounces) with the soy milk is really just the same as drinking soy milk and coffee because the sugar free vanilla or caramel has no calories. So...it ends up being about 100 calories for a grande (iced) and 160 for a venti, and when I get a venti it's usually as a snack, so it's very filling because all the liquid and the soy milk is just regular soy milk (sometimes vanilla flavored but usually unsweetened) And so yeah, if i have it with breakfast I usually just have fruit or 100 calories of greek yogurt, so I don't see the big deal with them.


    TL;DR: What did you used to get, and what do you get now?? (I used to get the white chocolate peppermint latte)

    I used to get a variety of very high calorie things. Now I get a variety of very high calorie things much less often.
