    Cafe Vanilla Light Frappuccino 173 calories. Its listed on their website and it is really good! It's my guilty pleasure.

    I'm big on having a cappuccino or cafe misto (aka cafe au lait) for a low calorie drink from SB. Also, consider only getting a Tall size, if you don't already.

    I love skinny mochas, but I only buy them occasionally (on cold days after long workouts). My summertime go to is the iced americano. I add half-and-half (mmmm!) without feeling guilty because it has only a fraction of the calories of a mocha.

    Thanks everyone! When I got there I ended up just getting a Venti unsweetened iced green tea, haha. After all that!!

    I have developed a serious latte habit lately. It's my favorite sweet treat and not completely nutritionally void. Always loved them and here in Seattle, they are much too easy to find! However, I'm not in love with how much I was spending on them. :)

    A great alternative is to get the Starbucks Via and dissolve it straight into a glass of milk. I add about 1/2 tsp of sugar because I like it a little sweet. Voila- homemade iced "latte"!

    The Via packets are more expensive than other companies' versions but honestly, I tried another brand and it was vile. It's worth it to pay for the Via- look for them at Costco. Still cheaper than buying coffee out. I found the new flavored version to be too sweet and no need to get the ones especially marked for "iced" coffee because the regular ones dissolve just fine in cold liquids.

    Now I want another homemade latte.....

    i'm not much a fan of their green tea.. i usually drink Celestial Seasonings green tea. i do, however, LOVE a Venti unsweetened passion tea, with some splenda. SO refreshing, zero-calories!

    Topped up my Red card today (donates to an AIDS campaign each time you use it) but skipped the coffee for a bottle of Naked Blue Machine Superfood juice drink. It was about 250 calories but shouldn't muck up my iron absorption. I do go for coffee sometimes still though.

    Loads of these sound DIVINE its a shame that the Starbucks near me in the UK (Blackburn) is typically british - you get 4of5 different coffees, normal, expresso, cappuchino, latte and maybe one ive missed, Tea (earl grey, english breakfast i.e a few Twinings ranges) Frappachino's coffee or vanilla and a strawberries & cream or vanilla & cream

    THAT IS IT

    It seems so lame in comparison to all these lovely sounding flavours...
