8 Better-for-You Drinks on the Starbucks Menu

Let’s be honest, we all hit up Starbucks at least once in a while — some of us every morning — for a fun new latte or sweet Frappucino. The problem is many of the drinks on Starbucks' menu are loaded with sugar and fat, making this coffee run a fairly unhealthy habit. But how do you know what to order to get your caffeine fix without the calories? To help make your order a little healthier (and easier), we've rounded up the healthiest options on the menu so you can make a quick decision without holding up the line.

Thanks to the Starbucks app it's now incredibly easy not only to view the menu ahead of time, and to customize drinks to your nutritional wants and needs. The nutrition facts automatically update as you make tweaks to your beverage of choice. You can even place a mobile order to pick up your healthy coffee quicker.

Craving a cozy blend of espresso and foamy milk? A 16 fluid ounce serving made with reduced fat 2% milk is a very sensible 140 calories; if you need a little sweetness, 1 teaspoon of sugar only adds 15 additional calories.

These shaken fruit drinks are a hot item year-round. The Very Berry flavor (without lemonade) has 70 calories and is the lowest in sugar with only 19 grams per 16 fl oz serving. This drink also contains caffeine (about 1/2 of what you'd find in an 8-ounce cup of coffee), so it'll keep you going all day long.
