5 Low Calorie Drinks to Order in Winter 2022
If I have learned anything about helping Millennials lose weight it is that we love our Starbucks and we have to know how to navigate that menu instead of just avoiding it! The thing about weight loss is that you don’t have to deny yourself of every treat that you love, you just need to pick the ones that you really love and sacrifice on the rest. I’ve picked out some low calorie options for you to try right now!
Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso

This seasonal drink is only 120 calories, which makes for a high-volume drink to help you enjoy the nice coffee flavor a little bit longer. Oatmilk is a recent discovery that mimics the consistency of regular milk as opposed to thinner alternatives, like almond milk. This drink is finished off with a sprinkle of cinnamon for a flavor kick without any calories!

Light Pistachio Latte

Order: Pistachio Latte with skim milk, 2 pumps of pistachio syrup, 1 pump sugar free vanilla
So this one you’re going to have to change up a little bit from the original order, but you can still enjoy the flavors of this seasonal drink without feeling like you’ve just used up all of your fun calories for the day. Lattes are actually a great choice in the morning because milk is a high protein choice. This combined with one of their breakfast sandwiches would be a solid start to your day!

Pistachio Coffee
Order: Blonde Coffee, half and half, 2 pumps pistachio syrup, 1 pump sugar free vanilla
So this is another one that you’ll have to order, but I want to make sure that you’re getting all of the goodness of the pistachio flavor without the high calorie drinks they offer! This option is a little lower on the calories compared to the latte version, so if you’re eating to save some calories for later on in the day, this would be the option for you!

Salted Caramel Cream Cold Brew
Now this drink is a little higher on the calories, but still not as bad as some others that Starbucks sells. All of these cold foam drinks are a little on the lighter side because they’re more of a coffee than a latte so they use water as a base instead of milk. For those of you that like your cold drinks all year round, opt for this tasty drink!

I know, I know, we’re past Christmas. But this drink is so so good, I think we need to honor it a little bit longer! It’s one of the lowest-calorie iced coffee options on the list and I personally think it tastes really good! The fact that it’s a coffee drink with almond milk makes it another high volume-low calorie drink so if you’re looking for something that will stretch out through a couple of hours in the morning to sip while you work, this may be for you!
