Your favorite Starbucks drinks in 150 calories or less

By: 7 years ago

I don’t frequent Starbucks, but whenever I do, I always order the same thing: White Chocolate Mocha modified to 200 calories. But since it’s a new year, I’m trading my usual for something with fewer calories. Frappuccinos are nice, but the 400-calorie drinks won’t give you anything except sugar crash (and bad skin). This 2018, forego the coffee chain’s popular drinks and revert to these more forgiving classics.

Note: These drinks are based on the Starbucks Tall size (12 ounces).

Caffè Latte; espresso with steamed milk and a light layer of foam: 150 calories (two percent milk)

Cappuccino; espresso with a thick layer of foam: 90 calories (two percent milk)
