Imagine this: the barista just signaled that you can come up to the counter and place your order. You’re panicked. All you ever get at starbucks is tea or a frappuccino, but you’re here with your coworkers so you wanna get a sophisticated coffee, right? Do you get a latte? An americano? And what the heck is a macchiato? GIRL, don’t fret. I’m here to load your brain up with all the BEST fall starbucks drinks you can order. Next time you go in, you’ll jump to the front of the line and everyone will be wondering how you got so cultured (hehe) ;). I’ve been a gold star member since the beginning of high school, so you could say I’ve tried my fair share of the Starbs menu…
Tried and true:
- Skinny vanilla latte with almond milk (my personal fave)
- Cold brew with vanilla sweet cream
- Iced coffee with 2 pumps vanilla and almond milk
- Skinny caramel macchiato with almond milk
Seasonal:
- Pumpkin cold brew
- Skinny cinnamon dolce latte
- Cold brew with salted cream cold foam
- Blonde flat white with almond milk
Splurge (cals or $$$):
- Skinny caramel macchiato + extra shot + COCONUT milk
- PSL (if it’s your thing, go for it. It’s worth the splurge every once in a while→ try it iced some time too!)
- Cocoa cloud macchiato
Teas:
- Citrus Defender (or Medicine Ball) → I LOVE THIS DRINK. It’s not typical of me to pick tea over coffee, but this one is an exception. It’s their Defense White Tea with steamed lemonade and honey, um yeah I’m gonna go get one rn!
- Any of the tea lemonades are amazing in my book
Obviously, I get most of my drinks with almond milk. I’m not dairy-free (never could be), but almond milk saves me just a few calories here and there. If you’re ever trying to cut down on sugar, almost ALL of these drinks can have their syrup pumps cut in half and honestly taste BETTER. When it comes to Starbucks, I tend to get it when I know I’m gonna have a long day or when I want to treat myself, so really the calories don’t matter to me that much because these drinks make me happy 🙂
If you guys try any of these drinks out, post to your story and tag me! I may or may not be doing a giveaway soon that involves some of these drinks *hint hint.
