Starbucks coffee drinks have been all the rage for a long time now. There are lattes, frappuccinos, hot brews, cold brews, teas, hot chocolate…You can see why Starbucks can be the place to go when it comes to a morning kick start to your day. Especially, during the holidays they feature specialty drinks that put a fun twist for each season. Pumpkin Spice Latte or Peppermint Mocha ring a bell??? On purpose, they are extremely delicious, high in sugar + calories, bummer. On the other hand, they help ring in the holiday spirit and that’s why we love Starbucks!!
For a while, I’ve been on the hunt for a tasty coffee at Starbucks without all the added calories. I am one of those people that count macros so it’s important that I find drinks + food that can accommodate my lifestyle. It is also key that it tastes good! Yes?? That’s when I started experimenting with a few recipes and trust me they were not all successful the first go around. I love sharing my life so why not share these easy to order recipes and we can all be happy.
