    I've been ordering nothing but triple tall Americanos for... years, long before I cared about calories. I like the flavour of coffee, dislike things that doctor coffee up. Reliable, not that expensive. Low cal even with a dash of half and half.

    My drink of choice has always been an iced coffee with a splash of nonfat milk. My husband thinks it tastes gross, but I think it's a cup of pure bliss.

    Americano. Or expresso. Although I usually just get black coffee because I'm cheap about such things.

    I like black iced coffee too or occasionally with nonfat milk (milk has sugar if you care about that, I do not).

    I just like iced black coffee with sweet'n'low and there is a shaker of I don't know what that is delicious at that little self-service station, it says vanilla on it but it has little white specs with black in the middle and it's amazing (I don't know if it has calories or anything, though), and a little half and half!

    My go to Starbucks drink is a double tall "skinny" vanilla latte. Their "skinny" mocha is also pretty good. I also just like to have a big iced coffee with sugar free hazelnut and cream. Oh and on hot and thirsty moments a vent passion iced tea with no added sweetener... its a tart tea that tastes great with nothing, to me :)

    I don't. I care about calories, though, and don't find that adding full fat milk tastes better.

    I'm having a similar issue with some fullfat cottage cheese I bought--it doesn't taste any better or satisfy me more than my usual 1 or 2%, but it's much harder to fit into my morning without going over the calories I'd like to keep to, and thus low fat works better, especially since it contributes a good amount of protein without many calories.

    I find that I prefer to use my extra fat/calories on cheese or ribeye or pork shoulder, rather than on higher fat yogurt or cottage cheese (or milk, although I almost never have milk anyway).

    I like the skinny vanilla lattes or I get a tall skinny caramel frappucino (100 calories).

    Skinny Vanilla Iced Latte. You can get a venti for 110 calories. I add a couple packets of Splenda just for some sweetness.

    Grande Non-fat Caramel Macchiato, no whip = 190 cals. Google "Low Cal Starbucks Drinks" and you'll find a list... that's where I found this one. I used to drink the ones that were like 400 cals or more (Yikes!) and this is a nice low cal substitute...very yummy!

    Black, but not the Pike. Too burnt tasting.

    If it's hot I'll get iced coffee with some splenda.

    I LOVE the iced passion tea and agree it's good unsweetened or with a bit of splenda if you want it sweeter (a little goes a long way). I didn't know you could get it blended, though. Thanks for the awesome idea! :smile:

    Whole milk cappuccino or a flat white. No syrups.

    The only sweetened beverage I care for is the white chocolate mocha and I only have one a couple times a years.

    Tall, non-fat caramel macchiato (sp). It is a splurge, but it's not going to break me.

    On days when I'm going strictly for the caffeine, I'll get a grande blonde roast and request it with "light" vanilla. Makes it hard to track, as everyone's definition of "light" is different, but once again, the splurge wouldn't break my day, even if they put a full serving in.

    I really like the caramel light frappuccino or any of the hot lattes made with skim milk and no whip cream. Cuts the calories/fat significantly!

    I like a venti cafe americano (iced or hot) with a tbsp of heavy whipping cream and 2 pumps of sugar free caramel or hazelnut syrup. Cheap, sweet and creamy. I figure 60 cals for the hwc, 15 for the espresso/water mix, and 0 for the syrups. It's my only indulgence there, and if you ask nicely they'll give you the carton of hwc so you can really control how much is in your drink. I don't like half and half as an indulgence, but you could sub that and knock off about 15 calories(2tbsp of half and half is about 35 cals).

    I LOVE Starbuck's Dark Espresso. Make my own Café Lattes (Hot and Iced) with a bag that I have them grind, a little cinnamon, a little Fat Free Half and Half and (my bad) Sweet n Low.

    Iced coffee with two pumps sugar free mocha! I try to stay away from artificial sweeteners but this is my treat! Yummy and for close to nothing, calorie wise. No milk!
