Looking for a low calorie Starbucks drink that doesn't break the calorie bank? Grabbing a coffee from Starbucks is one of those little things that brings a lot of joy lol am i right? but the one drawback is the exceedingly high calorie count that seems to plague their menu and if you're anything like me, you still want the option to treat yourself to a coffee without having to sacrifice a million calories at the same time. Although their menu defintiely does not cater to offering numerous low calorie, low sugar or honeslty just 'better for you' options, there are ways you can modify the classics into something that doesnt break the calorie bank.
This post is all about the best low calorie Starbucks drinks, how to order them in person and on the app plus their price points!

All drinks are a rough estimate based on general knowledge of calories s and may not be exact, but they are very close.
Low Calorie Iced Caramel Macchiato
It felt only fitting to start with the classic caramel macchiato, a definite favorite across the board and for good reason! This one is an easy one to order too.
Calorie Count: 110 Calories
Ordering in Person:
- Grande iced caramel macchiato
- Sub almond milk
- No vanilla syrup-
- 3 pumps Sugar free vanilla syrup
- 1 stevia packet
and that's it! easy enough-if you don't want the caramel drizzle, you can also request that however at that point it would essentially be a vanilla latte so I always vote yes to the caramel drizzle!
