Healthy Habits: Keeping it Light at Starbucks

I don't know too many people that don't love Starbucks. However, nothing irks me more than watching someone work their butt off in Boot Camp only to ruin it with a full-fat mocha topped with whipped cream! Here's some tips to keep your morning cup of joe reasonable and still delicious: 

  1. If you take milk in your coffee, make it skim! If you don't need milk, try a Caffe Americano with sugar-free syrup. Yummy taste but very low in calories! 
  2. Try to order a "skinny" latte or mocha, which contains skim milk and sugar-free syrup. 
  3. DO NOT order whipped cream. Seriously. It can add an additional 90 calories per serving! 
  4. Avoid at all costs the case full of pastries. Nothing in that entire display is healthy. Don't believe me? Examine the evidence. 

Starbucks has several drink options under 200 calories. Take a look and find the best and healthiest option for you!
