Today on the blog I’m talking about the love of my life and no I don’t mean Randy or Sophia. I’m talking about Starbucks ☕️!! Since I’ve renamed my blog Styled by Coffee I figured I’d share with y ‘all a couple of my go-to orders for Starbucks or really any café! I also promised Sophia that she could help so I will include what drink she loves from Starbucks too! To her, it’s a treat that she enjoys after school or on the weekends.
I try not to get drinks that are high in calories just because if I’m going to have 200 calories every morning, I’d rather eat my calories than drink them. 😂
I really have to thank my friend Gabriela [who worked at SB in college] for introducing me to new drinks. She’s always giving me tips or tricks to make my coffee more delicious. I literally have a note in my phone with how to order some of my favorite drinks. 😂
Comment down below what your favorite Starbucks order is!
ICED COFFEE
The first one is very basic it’s an iced coffee with white mocha depending on what size I usually try to lessen it via a pump or two just because the white mocha does have a lot of calories but then I add a little bit of cream AND sometimes with a sweeten low (it depends) and it’s delicious! So, for example, a tall I would only get one pump of white mocha light cream and sweet n low and two pumps of white mocha for a grande. Unfortunately, Starbucks stopped making their skinny mocha sauce because that was my ultimate go-to!
How to Order Iced Coffee with White Mocha
- Tall Iced Coffee
- No Classic
- 1 pump of white mocha (or regular mocha)
- Light cream
- 1 sweet n low (you can have them add it or do it yourself)
ICED AMERICANO
The second drink I love to get is an iced Americano, either grande or a Venti; if I get a grande I ask for it in a venti cup so I can get extra ice! The Americano is hot and when they pour it over the ice, the ice melts quickly so I want it to stay cold longer! I usually add white mocha and again I only get a couple of pumps because of the calories I again add light cream and you can’t go wrong with adding a sweet n low
How to Order Iced Americano
- Grande Iced Americano in a venti cup
- With Extra ice
- 2 pump of white mocha
- 1 sweet n low (you can have them add it or do it yourself)
ICED MATCHA GREEN TEA LATTE
My next go-to is an Iced Matcha Green Tea Latte, I don’t add/change anything besides substituting almond milk for 2% which you don’t necessarily have to do. I love Matcha Lattes, they do have higher calories but are great for a treat!
How to order an Iced Match Green Tea Latte
- Size!
- Iced Green Tea Latte
- Sub Almond Milk for 2%
Iced Shaken Espresso
I actually again love this drink whether it’s cold out or not, I think what I like about it the most is that it isn’t sweet like the other drinks above. It’s more of a nutty flavor, I also add oat milk instead of 2% because the cow milk just does not like my stomach! I’ve been adding a couple of pumps of pumpkin sauce just because it adds a little bit of fall to it! So here is how I order it
- A grande iced shaken espresso
- add oat milk instead of 2%
- No classic – add 2 pumps of pumpkin
- you could also add sugar-free vanilla if you wanted
SOPHIA’S FAVORITE STARBUCKS DRINKS
Sophia loves getting Starbucks, like I said earlier she thinks it’s a treat! Obviously, she’s not allowed to get coffee drinks so she always gets a frap (cream-based) or a refresher! Her favorite right now that she wanted to share was 1). Chocolate Cookie Crumble Creme Frap, Pumpkin Spice Creme Frap OR the Dragon Drink! I don’t order these any special way, I usually just order a tall because she never drinks it all 🙂
Lastly, my favorite holiday/seasonal drinks are of course a Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew (LOVE THESE RIGHT NOW!!) and for winter you can’t go wrong with a peppermint mocha! I know these have a lot of calories and I don’t have a trick to make them less so I try and limit myself on the number of times I have them! Usually like once a week….if I’m good 🙂
