Frappuccino® blended beverage: Lighten the icy-cold coffee favorite
- Request nonfat milk
- Choose the ‘light’ option for at least 33 percent fewer calories
- Select a sugar-free syrup for great flavor without added calories or sugar
- Ask for less whip or no whip to save anywhere from 80-110 calories depending on the size and type of drink
Skinny Latte
Smoothly steamed non-fat milk meets rich espresso and is topped off with a creamy layer of foam and any sugar-free syrup. A Tall (12. fl. oz.) Skinny Latte also meets 30% of your daily calcium needs.
- Choose a size that matches your calorie budget; remember the short size option (8 fl. oz)
- Ask for fewer or no pumps of classic syrup, which maintains the great flavor with fewer calories
- Pick your espresso intensity by adding an extra shot or try decaf
- Choose your milk: 2% milk is standard but nonfat, whole and soy can be requested
Barista Pick: Tall (12 fl. oz.) Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Latte
Sweet and buttery sugar-free cinnamon dolce syrup, nonfat steamed milk and a foam topping lightly sprinkled with cinnamon for a 100-calorie beverage that may be one of Starbucks best kept skinny-secrets. Bonus: 9g protein!
Starbucks® Iced Coffee & Tea
Quick, easy, and on the rocks!
- Ask for it unsweetened: hold the classic syrup for a calorie-free tea or 5 calories iced coffee for any size!
- Try a sweetener substitute: request Sweet & Low®, Equal®, or Splenda® as you make your order
