    The old man in me wants to say over-priced coffee is what I get at Starbucks. But mocha is my treat coffee.

    I used to have one everyday. Now it tastes like chemicals to me. Kinda weird. So I save 6 bucks a day now.

    I used to get Iced Caramel Macchiato all the time, however, I now better understand that drinking your calories can be destructive to goals, so I've cut out starbucks personally.

    If I want a "treat" there I usually get the skinny vanilla latte or a coffee frappuccino.
    Or an Americano and a cake pop.

    Once a week I get a grande iced skinny caramel latte. Only 80 calories so I don’t feel bad about it.

    I just get a regular coffee and put a little cream and half a packet of sweetener in when I want a treat. My daily coffee is black.

    I order their skinny hot chocolate. For me it tastes better than their normal version, that tends to upset my stomach. It's still a treat though, I think a tall is 110 and a grande is 150 calories. For a food treat I get the Bantam bagel bites. There are two of them in an order and it is a great way to get a bagel and cream cheese fix....two is 200 calories.

    I get a grande iced vanilla coffee with 2% milk. It’s about 120 cals and it reminds me of the white mocha if the white mocha had less sugar and more coffee flavor. Then I get a chocolate cake pop for 140. So 260 cals total.

    Most of the time my treat is a flavored latte (usually still with skim milk unless it's cinnamon dolce) or a caramel macchiato.

    I either get a trenta iced coffee with milk, sub sugar free vanilla and one pump of regular syrup(sometimes hazelnut, sometimes toffeenut or something else). I also like the venti Starbucks double shot on ice, also sub sugar free vanilla and one pump regular syrup of another flavor. Their cold brew is also good. Sweet cream cold brew with sugar free vanilla is more calories, but a nice change. For a real treat, I might get mocha syrup or whip cream on top!

    I get the peach tranquility hot tea. I don't like coffee ;) I will very occassionally get a steamed milk with hazelnut flavour added but I have to be in the mood.

    I worked at Starbucks for years so have burnt out on their drinks. Back in the day though, I recall liking a tall latte with 1 pump white mocha and 1 pump cinnamon dolce. For fraps, I liked java chip with 1 scoop vanilla bean powder. Neither of these are low calorie! ;) The latte is slightly lower calorie than it would normally be bc a tall comes with 3 syrup pumps (grande 4, venti 5). I'd always get one fewer pumps or half the amount bc the full amount was too sweet for me.

    Most often, back then I'd have an Americano with heavy cream or half and half and that's still what I usually get now on my rare visits. Sometimes I'll throw in 1 pump of syrup, usually white chocolate mocha or, during the holidays, gingerbread or pumpkin spice. I just remembered that I'd also often drink iced coffee with pumps of vanilla and caramel; haven't had that one in years. Iced coffee/Americano with pumps of both regular and white chocolate mocha plus vanilla was also really good.

    While working there, for lunch I'd often have a chocolate smoothie with extra whey and an espresso shot.

    Tall nonfat latte (100 cal) and a vanilla bean scone (so yummy) at 120 cal. So 220 cal total for a super satisfying treat

    I like the peach iced green tea in the summer, or the salted caramel in the winter. But for the most part, it's too much for me to spend on a drink.

    I get 2 shots of espresso over ice in a venti cup and add a container of Premier Protein shake to it. Faves are caramel, vanilla and chocolate :) I have one every morning!

    I get a venti iced black tea with two stevia ... or a grande skinny iced caramel machiatto. The latter I have to plan for accordingly.

    I've found Alex, @themacrobarista on Instagram. My life is changed. De-freaking-icious low carb, low cal, low sugar options to try. It's nice to have this laid out so that on the rare occasions I do crave something sweet, I'm covered!

    If I'm in the mood for hot, I'll go with a skinny vanilla latte. If I want something cold, either a skinny iced caramel macchiato or a light coffee frapp with sugar free vanilla in it. :)

    I used to get lattes out the wazoo, but I really want to try their nitro cold brew. I hear it's amazing. And it has only 5 calories in a grande. I'm hoping that could be my new treat.

    I used to really like taking the brown sugar packet(from the oatmeal, not sugar in the raw), melting it in espresso, and pouring it over ice with a little half and half and whip cream...mmm
