Healthy Starbucks Drinks and Menu Items Story

Starbucks is a super convenient place to buy a quick snack, meal or drink. The good news is, there are a few healthy items at Starbucks that are both nutritious and delicious that you can feel great about eating.

I actually love Starbucks. It’s one of those places that’s just reliable, and I can always find something healthy on their menu when I’m on the go (like fresh fruit and tea). But most of Starbucks’ menu is filled with “fancy” drinks — all of which are packed with sugar

TOP RULES FOR FINDING HEALTHY OPTIONS AT STARBUCKS

-Avoid all sweeteners, syrups and added sugar! -If it sounds “fun”, or if it has a “flavor” it’s probably unhealthy -Look for options under 100 calories -Basic drinks are best -When it comes to food, fresh and plant-based is best

-Regular or decaf black brewed coffee -Espresso shots: Black coffee, basically zero calories! - Brewed teas: Any hot tea or iced tea with no sweeteners added. -Caffe Latte: Get this in a tall, with nonfat milk or unsweetened almond milk

HEALTHY STARBUCKS DRINKS

1. All salads (with no dressing): Just remove any dried fruit added to the salad and croutons, and use salt & pepper to season your greens! 2. All fresh fruit: You can’t really go wrong here! 3. Hearty veggie and brown rice salad bowl
