Hey there! As I am sure many of you already know – fall Starbucks drinks are here! Meaning the infamous Pumpkin Spice Latte is officially back at Starbucks – and many other popular coffee chains! Fall is definitely my favorite season, and these delicious, fall-inspired drinks are the perfect way to get in the spirit of the season! So, for today’s post, I decided to pull together my top, “healthified” Starbucks drink recipes that are all low-calorie, macro-friendly, and, for the most part, dairy-free! These drinks not only taste great, but they will save you so many grams of calories and sugar! With that, let’s get into the top 6 healthy Starbucks drinks that taste amazing and are MUCH healthier, the fall edition!
But first, a little disclaimer… 🤗
I do want to mention that although these drinks contain way fewer calories, I wouldn’t exactly describe them as “healthy” BUT they are healthier than the original drinks sold at Starbucks. And although these drinks do contain artificial sweeteners, you are saving hundreds of calories, and tons of sugar, by opting for these “healthier” drinks instead!
For example, a regular Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks is 14 grams of fat, 52 grams of carbs, and 50 grams of sugar!! The healthier alternative that I mention below contains only 3.5 grams of fat, 14 grams of carbs, and 13 grams of sugar! Saving you almost 40 grams of sugar from one drink!! These drinks simply allow you to enjoy your favorite fall drinks (balance!) while cutting down on the unnecessary calories and sugar! Remember, moderation and balance are the keys to a sustainable and long-lasting healthy lifestyle! 🤗
