🤩🧋DIET HACK: LOW CARB STARBUCKS
–
💚 Low Carb Vanilla Coconut Matcha
Before: 190 calories / 26g carbs
After: Just 95 calories / 8g carbs
What to order:
➡️ Iced Matcha Tea Latte
➡️ Ask for coconut milk instead of almond or oat
➡️ Add 3 pumps of sugar-free vanilla syrup
➡️ Say “no classic syrup”
➡️ Optional: Add a splash of heavy cream if you want it extra creamy
Why it works:
Starbucks’ matcha comes sweetened by default, and classic syrup adds even more sugar. Removing it and adding sugar-free vanilla keeps the drink sweet but low in carbs. Coconut milk gives it that smooth, slightly tropical flavor while keeping things dairy-free.✨💚

🤎 Low Carb Caramel Macchiato
Before: ~250+ calories / 37g+ carbs
After: ~80 calories / 11g carbs (depending on drizzle + milk amount)
What to order:
➡️ Iced Grande Caramel Macchiato
➡️ Ask for almond milk instead of 2%
➡️ Add 2 pumps sugar-free vanilla syrup
➡️ Add 1 pump regular caramel syrup (keeps a little real flavor)
➡️ Ask for no classic syrup
➡️ Add 1 packet of stevia for extra sweetness
➡️ Optional: Light caramel drizzle on top or skip to save a few carbs
Why it works:
A regular caramel macchiato is a sugar bomb thanks to multiple pumps of syrup + drizzle. This version swaps in sugar-free vanilla and just one pump of real caramel so you keep that classic flavor with way fewer carbs. Almond milk cuts calories even more, and a little stevia helps balance it out.

🤎 Iced Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso
Before: 150 calories / 25g carbs
After: 80 calories / 9g carbs
What to order:
➡️ Iced Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso (Grande)
➡️ Ask for almond milk instead of oat milk
➡️ Ask for 1 pump brown sugar syrup
➡️ Add 1 pump sugar-free vanilla syrup
➡️ Add 1 packet of stevia
➡️ Ask for blonde espresso if you prefer a smoother taste
Why it works:
The original uses oat milk and 4 pumps of syrup—aka a sugar overload. Swapping to almond milk and cutting the syrups in half (plus using one sugar-free option) gives you all the bold espresso and cozy brown sugar flavor without the carb crash.
–
🤎 Cinnamon Dolce Latte
Before: 340 calories / 40g+ carbs
After: 80 calories / 9g carbs
What to order:
➡️ Grande Cold Brew
➡️ Add 2 pumps sugar-free vanilla syrup
➡️ Add 1 pump cinnamon dolce syrup
➡️ Ask for light cream (¼ inch)
➡️ Optional: Add 1 packet of stevia if you like it sweeter
Why it works:
The OG cinnamon dolce drinks are creamy and delicious… but packed with sugar. This version swaps in sugar-free vanilla for sweetness and keeps just 1 pump of cinnamon dolce for that warm, spiced flavor. A splash of cream adds richness without overdoing it.

NOTES: Here’s the quickest way to cut down on calories and carbs at STBX:
✅ Ask for Almond milk instead of Oatmilk
✅ Want your drink sweeter? Add a 1/2 – 1 packet of stevia…a little goes a long way!
✅ For creamer drinks ask for an additional splash of cream, which is usually half and half at most Starbucks.
