Whats in a skinny caramel macchiato from starbucks

Starbucks skinny drinks are low-calorie versions of the company’s popular coffee and tea beverages made with non-fat milk and sugar-free syrups. Skinny drinks are usually ordered without toppings like whipped cream.

They have grown in popularity over the past 3 years amongst people who are trying to eat a healthier diet.

How to Order a Skinny Drink at Starbuck?

To order a skinny drink at Starbucks, simply ask the barista for your favorite drink but remember to say skinny! For example, you could say “I’d like a Skinny Latte please.”

You can also plainly ask for a coffee made with non-fat milk and sugar-free syrups. You can customize it further with whipped cream or lower-calorie sweeteners.

So you can’t get through the morning without your morning joe. Or, you can’t even think about getting out of bed without the help your neighborhood Starbucks. But you have started to notice that your vice has come with a small problem, your pants don’t seem to fit like they used to. It could be from the double caramel frappuccino that is doing the damage to your figure.

For the new year, I have decided to cut out sugar, (or at least try to slowly cut it back,) I’m just being realistic.

I am dedicating this post to the hubs because he has been trying to be good diet (avoid these 4 diet mistakes) wise, and cut out sweets to try to drop some lbs. However, lately he has picked up a little coffee habit almost every afternoon. There happens to be a Starbucks right next to his office and he just stops by for that afternoon pick-me-up. However, he isn’t choosing the best option, a blended caramel frappuccino with extra caramel and extra whip cream. I’ve had this drink, and it is cray cray delicious, but it has around 500 – 600 calories! That is a lot of calories for a drink.

I told him that if he is trying to be better with his diet (avoid these 4 diet mistakes), he doesn’t want to waste all those calories on a sugar filled coffee.  I wanted to put together a list to give him some great coffee options that taste great, but doesn’t ruin all he is trying to do with a few sips.

Here is a list of some fantastic drinks (hot and cold) that you can order at Starbucks that won’t expand your waistline:

– Brewed Tazo Tea – 0 calories

– Brewed coffee – 5 calories

– Caffe Americano – 10 calories

– Nonfat Cappuccino – 60 calories

– Iced Skinny Latte – 60 calories

– Iced Brewed Coffee (with classic syrup) – 60 calories

– Skinny vanilla Latte – 90 calories

– Caramel Frappuccino Light Blended Coffee – 90 calories

– Tazo Shaken Iced Tea Lemondade – 100 calories

– Nonfat Caramel Macchiato – 140 calories

– Iced Vanilla Latte – 140 calories

– Nonfat Iced Caramel Macchiato – 140 calories

– Caffe Latte – 150 calories

– Nonfat Vanilla Crème- No Whip – 150 calories

– Nonfat Caffe mocha – No Whip – 170 calories

– Coffee Frappuccino Blended Coffee – 180 calories

My personal favorite, Skinny Caramel Macchiato. It is the best ‘skinny’ drink in my opinion and it is only 105 calories in a tall, or 140 calories in a Venti, for the days I really need a delish pick-me-up. Skim milk, sugar free vanilla syrup, no whip, topped with creamy foam and drizzled with a little caramel. Oh my gosh, it is truly heaven!

But that’s what I got. So here we are then. Together, on the internet. Maybe you have your own coffee right now. Or perhaps you’re on or near a toilet, but thinking of getting some coffee.

Here are some words about this coffee.

I could tell right away that the color was wrong. This was not my typical Skinny Iced Mocha. It was much too creamy. This has happened before, but sometimes it’s just that they put my label on the wrong drink, or mine is still coming.

I spent a moment awkwardly staring at the barista dude and then I shouted “Thank you!” and took the drink.

Some people might have chosen to be stupid and rude at this point, but I’m always game for random coffee adventures.

My theory is that they saw the word “Moch” on this label, and that it looked an awful lot like the abbreviation “Mach.”

Which it does.

Kind of seems like Starbucks should change these abbreviations, huh?

The Iced Skinny Macchiato is an Iced Caramel Macchiato, but with less fun. It’s pleasant-tasting, and very smooth, with only a hint of bitter coffee and some pleasant caramel notes.

But that’s about it. There’s nothing remarkable here. It’s like a fake coffee consumed by a character in the background of a television show.

It’s neither as good as the regular, more sugary and fatty Caramel Macchiato, nor as scrumptious as the somehow-less-caloric Iced Coconut Mocha Macchiato.

The Iced CocoMoMac is probably the One True Choice in the world of Macchiatos.

Now I’m imagining a fantasy setting called “The World of Macchiatos.”

It’s better than the drink I ordered on my mobile app, and also twice as caloric. But it’s okay. I’ll just have to type extra hard for the rest of the day in order to make up for it.

Guys the N key on my keyboard is sticking. I’ve already complained about it on Twitter, and now this sticky scourge is worming its way into the end of this article as well. I have a 2016 MacBook, and it has those “magical” new Butterfly switches.

I actually really like the Butterfly Switches(tm)…but if even the tiniest bit of dust gets stuck under them, they freak the f out and decide not to show up to work.

There are only two solutions to this problem:

1. Use a can of air to blast the keys until the offending particle flies out. Since I’m at a coffee shop, all I have is this computer and some Audio-Technica wireless headphones. I guess I could run over and grab some coffee from the counter and dump that in the keyboard, but that’d suck on a number of levels.
2. Keep typing and smashing on the key until the offending particle flies out. Come on little guy you can do it.

Anyway the Iced Skinny Caramel Macchiato is fine. It’s the most fine coffee I’ve ever had here. It’s mostly gone now, and it tastes kind of like nothing.

I should have just ordered that coconut one.

And now for the Weird Thing I Do Sometimes where I take a picture that shows the article you’re reading right now. Please scroll down past this picture and read the part where I ask shamelessly for a like. Thank you.
