I know this is going to be a controversial admission.. but Starbucks is my favorite coffee.
I know, I know. Trust me. Coffee is great in general, and I try to support local small coffee shops when I can.
But to me.. nothing beats the taste of a Starbucks coffee in my highly caffeinated opinion.
Because my habit has gotten a little out of control, I’ve had to find lower calorie options of some of my favorite drinks, otherwise I think I’d have a bigger problem on my hands.
So.. today I’m sharing some of those favorites so hopefully they inspire your next order.

My Favorite Low Calories Starbucks Iced Drinks Order
Iced Coffee with Almond Milk
On a normal day, like – when I’m not ordering anything “fancy” and I’m just in need of a coffee high, I’ll keep my order simple. My typical order is:
- Grande iced coffee
- With a little bit of almond milk (which also happens to be the lowest calorie milk at Starbucks)
- Add 2 Stevias
If it’s cold outside, I’ll get the same thing only instead of requesting an iced coffee, I just do a hot medium roast,
It has just enough flavor that I feel like I’m treating myself to something special, but it’s not loaded with any extra fat, sugar, or calories.
The only calories you’re getting are from the coffee (which honestly, are going to be like.. less than 5 calories total, and then the calories from the almond milk. But if you’re opting to go lighter with the almond milk you’re also not going to be adding a ton in).
Iced Shaken Espresso
How to order:
- Grande iced shaken espresso
- Almond milk
- 1 packet Stevia in the Raw
- No classic syrup
- 2 pumps Cinnamon Dolce Syrup
My Favorite Fall Inspired Low Calorie Starbucks Drinks (Iced or Hot)
I’m not a big PSL girl. Maybe one.. as long as it’s dairy free. But my jam is really the Peppermint Mocha. I’ll go full-calories every single time that baby hits the stores.
But when I am wanting a taste of fall (except I order this year-round) I’ll go for one of my tried and true favorites:
