Does anyone have any suggestions on healthier versions of their favorite Starbucks drinks?

I have decaf, non fat peppermint Mocha

The only treat I have or had in 6 months

Ok what's a macchiato upside down? Sounds like something I would like LOL

No idea. It's good, though.

Lotta help you are! Guess I will just go in guns blazing and order one as if I know what I'm talking about!

Former barista here, let me help. A macchiato is a layered drink. A caramel macchiato has vanilla syrup, milk, shots on top of the foam, then a caramel drizzle on top. If you get it upside down, it's not layered anymore. It's basically a vanilla latte with caramel drizzle. (Or hazelnut drizzle, if you ask for an upside down hazelnut macchiato)

Well, there you go!

Thanks!

On another forum, someone said you can order unflavored protein to go in the milk and then be streamed into a latte! I haven't tried it yet, but a couple of others have and said it was excellent!

This is my treat once a week. Lurrrveee Starbucks! But i don't like sugar. Fat I'm ok with because when i have one of these drinks (once a week) i am so full that i don't eat anything until supper. The fat keeps me full all day. Be sure to order it Breve' this is steamed half and half and takes away the bitterness that starbucks sometimes has. Makes it sooo creamy too. Ok write this down lol Tall Sugarfree Hazlenut Breve latte with An extra shot of sugarfree syrup

Heaven! And lower carb so your blood sugar wont spike.
