    Anything "skinny" - but my favorites: Skinny Vanilla Latte, Skinny Caramel Machiatto, or Iced Coffee w/nonfat milk (least calories of the 3),

    I generally get my drinks iced.

    Nothing- to expensive to order a black coffee that tastes like *kitten*.

    When I am in the mood for a "splurge" at Starbucks, I order a Mocha Light Frappuccino (Grande, 16 ounces): 140 calories, 1 g fat, 0 g saturated fat, 29 g sugar, 190 mg sodium. Otherwise, it is venti Passion Fruit tea, unsweetened or a latte with skim milk and 3 equals.

    I go with the light Fraps...have them add scoops of protein to it (4 = 24g, 120 cals, additional) and then it just becomes a tasty meal replacement drink for me.

    I love love love Starbucks, for me this this was one of those things that was very important to keep in my diet because I do love it so much. I have learned how to fit it in my calories for the day. Options that work great for me include Venti Iced Coffee with sugar free vanilla, and I add half and half total about 80 calories. Venti Iced Green Tea with 4pumps Raspberry 80calories. Pretty much any of the coffee based light fraps Grande are all under 200 calories. I switched from getting Venti to tall drinks that alone saved a ton of calories for me, and I go with the sugar free options and either nonfat or coconut milk. A tall coconut milk latte is 140 calories. Again for me, these calories are worth it, Starbucks is one of those things I could not see myself giving up, so by figuring out how to fit it in, I do not feel deprived. A really yummy treat for me when I don't want coffee but want something warm on a cold morning is a tall steamed coconut milk with sugar free vanilla, it tastes so good, and again only 140 calories. I have Starbucks at least 3 times a week, and I have lost over 50 pounds and maintained that loss for over 2 years now.

    If I'm looking for no cal options i'll either get a quad shot straight up, or bended with ice or an unsweetened iced passion tea. The tea has 0 and the espresso has under 10. I don't do the skinny/fat free/sugar free. I'll either get the calorie dense awesomeness or one of those options.

    Grande Americano black (15). I do a lot of coffee meetings so I will get this decaf so I have something to drink but the cals are negligible.

    Grande nonfat latte (130)

    Grande cappucino. (120)

    I usually get the small soy chai latte, which is around 120 calories. You can get whatever you want really, as long as you keep the cup small (and it's not one of those coffee milkshakes).

    In my first year of university, I used to bribe myself to come into the library and revise with a caramel macchiato from our on-campus fake Starbucks.

    Then I looked up the nutritionals. :-(

    Now I just get a small skinny cappuccino.

    I don't like skim milk in coffee...

    I get either the big latte 2% milk with 1-2 packets of raw sugar (lots of calories but oh so nice)

    or

    Iced coffee, little bit of 2% milk and half of whatever is the regular amount of sweetener, because even though I like iced coffee sweet, I can't stand it as sweet as their standard-issue "sweetened".

    if I really can't have calories, or don't want coffee:

    Iced green tea unsweetened is delicious.
