Starbuck's Fit Life PSA

I know a lot of us on here watch our macros, including keeping sugar to a limited amount. If you're anything like me and LOVE your Starbuck's coffee, the Sugar-Free Flavors were a serious must-have in your morning java fix. Well, in addition to upping the price of almost all of their beverages, they are now discontinuing ALL Sugar-Free Flavors with the exception of Vanilla and Cinnamon Dolce. If you're anything like me, you're uber disappointed about this. Thinking about ditching the Bucks, and saving some at that, but I really do look forward to a Starbuck's coffee fix 3 x week. Guess we'll have to settle for Vanilla.

    I kept trying to figure out why you were upset. I kept misreading discontinuing as discounting.

    I'm looking forward to my one pumpkin spice misto a year, but other than that, I've given up on Starbucks. I've made friends with my french press, and sweetener only. SO GOOD!

    I very rarely stop at Starbucks, but their Cinnamon Dolce k-cups are my most very favorite flavored coffee fix.

    That's disappointing.

    I'm not a regular, but every now and again I do like a tall skinny caramel macchiato.

    Ah, well. Good thing I recently found a source for extra spicy chai tea and have my trusty Nespresso at home.

    Black Cold Brew is the bomb! However I like adding the sugar-free flavors for some sweetness. Have you tried adding Vanilla protein powder as well? Protein coffee is my ultimate favorite

    Hahaha, if they were discounting it I would be one happy camper! I actually have never had a Misto or Frapp from there, but I love getting the Cold Brew "blended" so that it is in Frapp form, adding the sugar-free flavors and my protein powder for a macro-meeting "Frapp"

    I'll have to try Cinammon Dolce. There must be a reason they're keeping that flavor!

    I've never tried the cinnamon dolce, but I'm looking forward to the pumpkin spice lattes and pumpkin spice muffins!

    Cinnamon Dolce is by far my favorite Starshmuck's flavor. So good, in fact, I buy the sugar-free syrups from them to have at home.

    "Skinny" PSL (non-fat milk and no whip) is my go-to treat drink when I end up with leftover sugar macros within a day. SOOOO GOOD

    You're still good to go. The syrup in a caramel machiatto is vanilla. So in a skinny, it would be sugar free vanilla.

    I can't drink the sugar-free flavors; but I'm a recovering long time Starbucks-aholic. For a while, I was going through the drive-thru every single day. Bad for my waistline and wallet! I had to get an Iced coffee with1 pump of vanilla and a piece of pumpkin bread.
    Now I make a coffee with my nespresso and add a little maple syrup and almond milk.

    Just tried the cinnamon dulce sugar free flavor and man-oh-man, I understand why they're keeping it now! What an underrated flavor. Should definitely be more popular.

    Right? It's the only sweet coffee drink I can stand, pretty much. I drink black coffee as a rule but once in a while I get a skinny cinnamon dolce latte and they are SO GOOD. The only dessert-coffee thing worth having at Starbucks IMO.

    Interesting! I always thought it was caramel - I just checked my app and sure enough vanilla. This is one of my favorite drinks so that makes me happy to know I don't have to give it up!
