I am one of the many people who have been on a Starbuck's kick lately. I've probably been going about 2-4 times a week and I love it! It gives me a kick of energy and I always love the drinks however it surprises me whenever I see people before me ordering a Venti Java Chip Frappe with extra chocolate, which hey I've been there those things are ahhh-mazing. But did you know that that drink alone is not only 600 calories but it has 88 grams of sugar???? 88 Grams guys! That is insane and will put you in a sugar coma real fast. And then there are people who are wanting to be "healthy" so they decide to try a strawberry smoothie with coconut milk, why not, how bad can it be? Well guys this smoothie is still 300 calories (which isn't too bad) but it is also 41 grams of sugar. Yes that it with coconut milk. If you're not shocked by the amounts of sugar in these drinks go to the Starbucks website and scroll through where you can literally see the nutrition facts for every drink they have there. It's important to know what you're putting in your body guys.

Now to get to what your waiting for, below I will post 7 drinks at Starbucks that are under 100 calories and 10 grams of sugar, check it out to see how you can still enjoy your Starbucks without killing your calorie and sugar intake.


Under 100 Calories and 10 Grams of Sugar

Venti Unsweetened Sugar Free Vanilla Iced Coffee w/ Almond Milk

Calories - 30

Sugar (unsweetened) - 1g

Whenever I get this coffee I add a couple pumps of sugar-free vanilla, that way you can still add a little flavor to compliment the almond milk while still keeping away from that sugar.


Grande Caffe Americano

Calories - 15

Sugar - 0g

Although this may be a little bitter for your taste it'll definetly give you that kick of energy you need, if you want you can add some liquid Stevia to this to sweeten it up a little.


Grande Unsweetened Passion Green Tea Iced Tea

Calories - 0? (whattttt)

Sugar - 0g (double whatttt)

- Definitely going to grab me one of these today. This will be refreshing and like I said for the previous green tea drink will give me a kick of energy.


Grande Flat White w/ Almond Milk (Or a Latte Macchiato w/Almond Milk for the same nutritional facts)

Calories - 100

Sugar - 5g

The steamed almond milk will give this drink a creamy flavor and you'll save 12 grams of sugar than if you were drinking it with whole milk.


Tall Shaken Strawberry Green Tea Infusion

Calories - 30

Sugar - 8g

Note if you do go up in size the sugar's in this drink will obviously increase to over 10, however this is a refreshing and will also give you a kick of energy due to the green tea in it.


Grande Nitro Cold Brew w/ Sweet Cream

Calories - 70

Sugar - 4g

The vanilla sweet cream with give this drink a silky flavor and if you're not as fond of bitter coffee try this one out for a little sweetness.


Grande Passion Fruit Tea Unsweetened (w/ a Splash of Coconut Milk (Optional))

Calories - The tea itself has 0 calories however if you do decide to add coconut milk that'll add a few your way

Sugar - 2g

- This is a replacement for the Strawberry Acai Refresher which I myself loved until now after doing more research into the 20 grams of sugar drink that is mainly a base of high concentrated flavors and processed sugars.
