Happy FALL, Y’ALL! While we’re in this in-between period on Starbucks menu, where cozy cups are raging right before the glory of the Chesnut Praline latte and the good ol’ Caramel Brulee take hold, it seems like everyone and their mother is furiously Googling for alternatives to the PSL – which maybe got old by mid-September. Last year I shared five favorite Starbucks fall drinks that are NOT a pumpkin spiced latte 😉 and today we’re focusing specifically on some “healthier” options if you want fall in a cup without extra or unnecessary calories. Enter, ten healthy fall Starbucks drinks that still offer a yummy, cozy flavor.
Each healthy Starbucks fall drink is listed below with an approximation of calories (they can be a few more or less depending on how exactly you customize your order, and I personally do NOT count calories EVER). Below the name is exactly what to ask your barista for – feel free to just read right down the bullet points, since I tried to order them “correctly!” Another great resource I recommend following along with for fun Starbucks drinks/variations is @themacrobarista on Instagram – he’s got GREAT concoctions + recommendations always! ENJOY.
