12 Starbucks Low-Calorie Drink Recommendations

Heads up, friends: Starbucks has cut most of their sugar-free syrups and only kept the vanilla for now. They might bring back some of the good stuff (fingers crossed), but we found some low-calorie gems you can sip on.

And if we find new syrup hits the scene? You’ll be the first to know.

1.  Starbucks Iced Energy

Remember when Starbucks unveiled those new Iced Energy drinks?

They don’t really hit you with the crazy jolt like other energy drinks (which is great if you don’t want the jitters) and they are light, low cal, and sugar-free!

The Melon Burst and Tropical Citrus are the two flavors on offer and they’re a good pick if you want a milder lift and don’t want the heft of regular energy drinks.

2. Keto Pink Drink

The Keto Pink Drink is like a swap meets version of the classic Pink Drink. It’s got that strawberries-and-cream play going on but with Passion Tango iced tea, sugar-free vanilla syrup, heavy cream, and strawberries.

A heads up: It’s not the same as the OG Pink Drink, but it is yummy and a good call if you’re counting carbs.

3. Iced Shaken Espresso

The Iced Shaken Espresso is my go-to for a fast low cal brew that’s still all coffee vibes.

This one swaps out the classic syrup for zero-calorie Stevia⁽¹⁾ which is plenty sweet, meaning 1 to 2 Stevia packets should do the job.

The way the espresso is shaken creates a smoother texture — way more bougie than your regular iced coffee. Bold, jazzed with energy, and perfect for those hectic afternoons when you want an ice-cold low-calorie jolt.

4. Low-Carb Purple Drink

The Low-Carb Purple Drink is a spin on the vivid Starbucks Refresher hit.

It’s Passion Tango Iced Tea with no sweetener, sugar-free vanilla, almond milk, and strawberries, so you get a light, fruity drink with a whisper of vanilla creaminess.

It’s super refreshing and fun, but if you’re into more sugary drinks, you might be like, “Where’s the sugar rush?” Still, for a guilt-free treat, I think it’s totally worth it!

5. Low-Calorie Starbucks Chai Tea Latte

Hi, Chai fans watching their cals, let’s chat about the low-calorie Chai Tea Latte. This version is brewed with chai tea bags and hot water (instead of the sweet concentrate).

You can add sugar-free vanilla and almond milk to keep it lush, but light. If you’re feeling fancy, you can drop in an espresso shot to make it a Dirty Chai.

It’s warm, subtly sweet, and a perfect low-cal cozy treat.

6. Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew

Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew is THE ONE for when you need something that hits the spot and isn’t too much work.

By switching to the sugar-free vanilla syrup, you keep the cals down without losing that smooth sweetness. That creamy foam mixes perfectly into the cold brew, giving you a bit of sweetness with bold coffee.

It’s no fuss, takes care of business, and is my sunny day go-to.

7. Iced Peach Green Tea

Iced green tea is naturally zero in calories, but watch out for that sugar content in their peach juice!

Here’s my trick if you want the low-cal peach tea version: ditch the full hit of peach juice and ask them to just a splash.

SO crisp, a bit sweet, and just the right kick without the sugary mess.

8. Iced Apple Crisp Almondmilk Shaken Espresso

OK, they typically make it with oat milk, but I always ditch that in favor of almond milk to keep cals in check.

Cut the apple brown sugar syrup by a pump and toss in one stevia packet, and the Iced Apple Crisp Almondmilk Shaken Espresso is all fall spices and less guilt!

Flavorful, a tiny sweet, and all-round awesome with these little tweaks.

9. Iced Matcha Latte with Almond Milk

When you want an energy boost without feeling stuffed, go for an Iced Matcha Latte with almond milk.

Using almond milk instead of dairy is a lighter move since Starbucks’ matcha blend already comes with some sugar cooked in. This modified version is creamy, earthy, and a mellow-sweet hit.

Just know that their matcha blend can never be as low-cal as pure matcha but you can try, right?

10. Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew

Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew is where the fall flavor is at. Here’s a calorie-saving hack: If you sub sugar-free vanilla for regular syrup, you could swap up 40 to 80 calories.

But another biggie is the pumpkin cold foam, that dinger stacks up about 200 calories. Yikes!

You can get it with a light foam or ask your barista for a custom version with fewer calories. I can speak from experience that the latter request is a bit of a hit or miss though.

11. Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso

Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso? It’s everything bold and fresh all at once.

To low-cal it, ask for half the brown sugar syrup and half sugar-free vanilla. Shaken espresso plus oat milk guarantees a velvety texture with warm brown sugar notes.

It’s just a smidge sweet, a pinch of spice, and total boss when you want something with none of those extra cals..

12. Chocolate Cream Cold Brew

In need of a rich, chocolaty goodness with a caffeine fix? Roll with the Chocolate Cream Cold Brew.

The trick to the low-calorie version is to get a Tall and go easy on the chocolate cold foam. Swap syrup out for sugar-free vanilla, and you’re good on calories.

Think creamy cold brew with a choco-smash that won’t make your waistline cringe. Perfect for those days when coffee needs a little chocolate to keep you going.
