8 Crazy Delicious Low-Calorie Starbucks Drinks (Under 100 Calories)
Feel the Starbucks run, but counting calories? You’re not alone. Whether you’re counting macros, watching your weight, or simply trying to stay healthy, the good news is that you don’t have to give up your favorite cocktails.
Let’s break down some of the best low-calorie Starbucks drinks that taste like a treat, without sabotaging your goals.
Iced Passion Tango Tea (Unsweetened) – 0 Calories
Bright, refreshing, and fruity — this iced herbal tea is completely calorie-free when ordered unsweetened.
It’s also caffeine-free, so it’s ideal for a midday pick-me-up.
Pro Tip: Like it a little stronger? Add a shot of lemonade (or a packet of Stevia or other natural sweetener you prefer).
Cold Brew Coffee – 5 Calories
Starbucks’ cold brew is rich, smooth and naturally lower in acidity. And at only 5 calories, it’s the ideal building block of a healthy coffee drink.
Customization: Spritz with a splash of almond milk or one pump of sugar-free vanilla syrup for a minimal dose of syrup and fewer than 20 calories.
Espresso Shot – 5 Calories
With only 5 calories, if you enjoy it strong, then a straight espresso shot is your poison. Heck, you can even upgrade to a double shot (10 calories!) for a stronger kick.
Extra Idea: Order it over ice with a little sprinkle of cinnamon or sugar-free flavor.
Iced Caffè Americano – 10 Calories
A combination of dark espresso and cold water, so not much has to be added to this to get it served up. It’s something of a go-to for anyone looking for something both classic and powerful.
Flavor Twist: Splash in a bit of nonfat milk or sugar-free syrup — it’s still under 30 calories!
Cappuccino with Almond Milk – 70 calories (Tall)
Light, frothy and comforting, a tall almond milk cappuccino weighs in at a mere 70 calories, so it’s the perfect way to warm up this fall, without any guilt.
Why almond milk? It’s one of the lower-calorie milk alternatives Starbucks has.
Nitro Cold Brew – 5 Calories
This is not your ordinary iced coffee. Nitro cold brew is made creamy and sweet with the help of nitrogen and sans a lick of cream or sugar. It tastes like a snack, but it’s only 5 calories!
Bonus: It’s naturally sweet in the end, so most people don’t have to add anything.
Iced Blonde Vanilla Latte with Almond Milk – 80 Calories (Tall)
For a lighter take on a classic, try the vanilla latte (hot or iced) with Starbucks Blonde Espresso and almond milk — it’s 80 calories for a tall.
Sweet, but make it smart: Request a single pump of sugar-free vanilla to add an extra dash of flavor.
Matcha Tea (Modified) – 90 Calories (Tall, Nonfat Milk, 1 Scoop Matcha)
Starbucks’ matcha drinks can be high in sugar, but if you customize it, you can enjoy the earthy, creamy flavor for under 100 calories.
How to order: “Tall hot matcha tea latte with nonfat milk, only 1 scoop of matcha.”
