Here's What a Dietitian Orders at Starbucks
You can't go too far these days without running into Starbucks. The chain is so pervasive. But the danger that lies with frequenting any coffee joint is booming. It’s way too easy to fall into a calorie trap provided by sugary beverages. That said, there are plenty of choices on the menu that won’t kill your stay-slim aspirations. Below are 8 picks as selected by dietitian who gets her caffeine fix and satisfies her sweet tooth.
1. Cold Brew Coffee: Starbucks smooth small-batch cold coffee has fewer than 5 calories and 0 grams of sugar. Add a splash of 2% milk (25 calories, 2 grams of sugar) to bring a creamy side.
2. Caffe Americano: This espresso-based drink is one of the lowest calorie items on the Starbucks menu, and packed with 225 mg of caffeine and 15 calories.
3. Iced Coffee: Made with freshly brewed Starbucks Iced Coffee Blend, lightly sweetened over ice is 60 calories and 15 grams of sugar.
