🍫 7. Skinny blonde vanilla latte
Chocolate lovers, this one’s for you.
A skinny blonde vanilla latte is very popular for those with diets or wanting to consume less sugar. I’m not too sure of the calories or exact amounts of sugar and fat in the beverage, but again, it seems to be very popular.
- Calories: ~100 (grande size)

“Can I have a Blonde vanilla latte with nonfat milk and sugar-free vanilla.”
You’ll still get that sweet fix—minus the extra calories and sugar.

Try it with one pump of sugar-free syrup if you like it sweet.
🧋 9. Iced Chai Tea (Unsweetened, DIY Style)
The standard Chai Latte is packed with sugar—but here’s a lower-calorie version:You can order a lower-calorie chai like this:
“Iced black tea with a splash of almond milk and a pump of sugar-free vanilla syrup + a sprinkle of cinnamon.”
This version has ~30–50 calories and mimics the chai flavor without all the sugar. If you prefer the chai tea, try the tall size to lower the calorei intake, its all about balance!
10. Caffè Misto with Almond or Oat Milk
Half brewed coffee, half steamed milk = light, cozy, and low in calories.
How to Order It:
“Can I get a Caffè Misto with [your preferred milk]?”
You can customize it with:
- Almond, oat, soy, or coconut milk

Fewer if ordered with almond milk or in a smaller size

Love pumpkin spice season, but not the calories?
- Calories: ~90 (modified)
- Order it like this:
“Cold brew with 1 pump of pumpkin sauce, a splash of almond milk, and a pumpkin spice topping.”
Way lighter than the full PSL or Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew.

A fruity refresher without all the sugar.

Final Tips for Ordering Weight Loss-Friendly Drinks at Starbuck
- Skip the classic syrup. It’s loaded with sugar. Ask for sugar-free vanilla, cinnamon dolce, or skip it entirely.
- Choose almond milk or oat milk. Lower in calories and carbs than whole milk or cream.
- Go short or tall. Downsizing your drink helps keep calories in check.
