No matter your caffeine preferences, Starbucks visits are probably part of your regular routine. Although the occasional indulgence won’t hurt as much as an occasional visit can add extra calories, these extra visits could wreak havoc with any attempts at healthy dieting you might be undertaking. Luckily there are ways you can make starbucks iced coffee healthier without compromising taste or flavor!

It’s essential that you’re getting a balanced beverage. To cut back on sugar, try adding protein powder or switching out your syrup for low-calorie options; to reduce fat, switch from whole milk to nonfat and avoid whip. And to stay away from artificial sweeteners altogether, opt for low-calorie options (many plant-based milks still contain added sugars).

One of the simplest and most accessible ways to make your Starbucks iced coffee healthier is to make it yourself at home. To reduce calories, mix unsweetened almond milk with vanilla protein powder and liquid stevia or honey; this combination not only saves calories but provides valuable protein sources and other vital vitamins and minerals.

An effective way to make iced coffee healthier is to order a small-batch cold brew, which involves longer brewing times with nitrogen being added after pouring to give a velvety finish and only 70 calories for grande size servings – or for even lower sugar options try ordering one with vanilla syrup and no milk as an exciting low-sugar treat!

If you’re craving some fruity treats, berry refreshers are a tasty choice. Made from a blend of natural fruit juices, blackberries, green coffee extract and lemonade – each serving only has about 100 calories! To further lower sugar consumption you can customize this beverage with less syrup or whipped cream pumps and use less pumps of syrup/whipped cream!

Make any handcrafted drink more nutritious by ordering it “light or skinny.” This means it is made with nonfat milk, less syrup pumps and no whipped cream (saving about 80 calories for tall size drinks). Or create delicious and refreshing iced tea yourself at home by steeping some green tea bags in hot water before whisking in some unsweetened almond milk and topping it off with some frosted flakes or mini chocolate chips for the finishing touch! Enjoy!
