    Starbucks best kept secret -- you can get a regular brewed coffee (under $2 for a tall) and just add nonfat milk and sweetener yourself. It's better coffee than Dunkin Donuts, too. The cheapest and lowest cal thing you can get. I get one every day, either hot or iced while I watch my students spend $5 for 500 calorie drinks.

    If you're limiting carbs, do not use their coconut milk, it has additional cane sugar added to it.

    Regular coffee, 2T of Half and Half. 40 cal, and delicious.

    But, then, I find sweetened beverages to be gross in general, so your mileage may vary.

    I am addicted to Starbuck but, I brew my own (had the beans espresso grounded at Starbuck)

    Starbucks - Espresso Roast Coffee, 1 cup 5 1 0 0 0 0
    Spice - Ground Cinnamon, 1 tsp 5 1 0 0 1 1
    Lactaid 2 % Lowfat Milk - Milk, 0.5 cup 65 7 3 4 0 63
    Truvia - Nature's Calorie-free Sweetener, 1 packet (3.5g) 0 3 0 0 0 0 Ice

    Total: 75 12 3 4 1 64
    Per Serving: 75 12 3 4 1 64

    I think it's pretty yummy. (I add the cinnamon to the hot coffee to mix it then add the ice and milk. If you add it to cold drink it will never mix well)

    i do this too
    besides from buying regular a (skinny) cappuccino. Depends on my left over calories.


    But what i do also is make with the Starbucks coffee really strong coffee. Really strong
    And freeze this as ice cubes. And make from those ice cubes a iced coffee ( with or without milk and a flavor all depends on what my little heart desires at that moment lol)

    Oh , such a great idea! My little friend, I can always count on you for great recipes and ideas. You always make sure it's healthy AND yummy!!

    Give this a try: Grande iced coffee with two pumps of sugar free mocha. I used to ALWAYS need milk in my coffee but the sugar free mocha is kind of creamy anyway. Or at least I convince myself it is. I have everyone in my office subbing out their high calorie lattes for this and it's delicious! I try and consume as few artificial sweeteners as possible but this is my (semi) guilty pleasure. Yum!

    Coffee with skim milk and sugar free syrup (hazlenut, caramel, some others, I think). If you don't put a ton of milk in it (like 2 Tbsp or less), you could get away with less than 20 cals.

    You can try 2 scoops of matcha in ice water from starbucks. Very low calorie and I don't think any carbs. Tastes just like tea and it gives you a lot of energy throughout the day.

    25 calories per scoop, all of which are from carbs and most of which are from sugar. Sugar is just full of energy. :)

    I get unsweetened iced red passion tea. It's mostly hibiscus / jamaica, which is relatively sweet-tasting.

    If you're limiting your carbs I've found that the Grande Sugar Free Cinnamon Dolce Latte with Heavy Whipping Cream instead of milk works wonders for me. I asked for an additional espresso shot since I like a strong coffee flavor and it's sugar free and since you switch the milk to heavy cream you loose all the carbs too. I believe overall it's like 2grams vs 17g or 19 g on the normal skinny version.

    Why would they ruin perfectly good coconut milk that way?

    I guess it's not likely they have heavy cream, then. :/

    You can get most Frappuccino's made with nonfat milk and no whip for under 200 calories, some as low as 100. I do that when I want a treat.

    Coffee + heavy cream and their Sugar Free syrups - you can get it iced or hot

    Anything made with milk at starbucks - I substitute for skimmed milk. It cuts a good amount of calories and still tastes more or less the same as the 'whole fat version' :)

    Hibiscus Refresher- grande 70 calories- sooo good! It's made with green coffee beans, so it doesn't taste like coffee at all, but I prefer it.

    I like this and I buy the tazo passion tea bags for at home (not from starbucks). It's tasty and doesn't need added sugar and it's great iced too.

    Coffee, my first 16oz of the day get 1tbsp heavy cream, generally black after that.

    Anyone know of any drinks at starbucks that is low in calories and carbs? The lowest I found was the Iced Skinny Mocha 100 cal and 12 carbs for a grande (medium). Any suggestions?

    I'm doing low carb and I found I get a venti iced coffee with sugar free vanilla and instead of milk heavy whipping cream..2 grams of carbs. I add a packet of Splenda so I say 3 net carbs and it's delish!!!!

    If you're doing low carb high fat, my most amazing treat during those times was a triple short breve latte. Tiny cup, three shots, and ended up being about 1/2 a cup of half and half. Not low calorie, but during my LCHF days I needed the calorie bump due to zero appetite.

    I get a venti americano (hot or iced) with sugar free syrup and heavy cream.

    Comes out to 2 carbs, about 150 calories.

    I tried something I've never had before. I had a venti skinny cinnamon dolche iced coffee. Made with nonfat milk and sugar free cinnamon dolche syrup. It's not as sweet as a frappucino but it's still really really good! 17 carbs and 110 calories! I should try it u guys! And thank for all ur feedback!

    I'm going for this next time I'm there! I'm burnt on Americanos

    It's a good idea to tell them "no classic". The iced coffee comes pre-sweetened :/

    I get a Venti iced americano 365 day a year. 1 Splenda and 1 tbsp of cream. Keeps me satisfied from 7:30 to 11:30 am since I'm a slow sipper. 45 calories, so I get to save almost of my calories for food!
