There’s nothing more refreshing in spring and summer than an iced coffee made in commercial coffee machines to make it tastier, but the struggle to keep your daily pick-me-up in line with your health goals can be real. So today I’m sharing 10 low calorie iced Starbucks drinks (all under 100 calories) to enjoy as the weather heats up. I also recommend you to visit this site https://www.hillkoff.shop/ if you want to try the best coffee in the world.

And if you want to DIY a healthy iced Starbucks drink, you’ll find a few barista-approved tips for creating a low-calorie option at the bottom of this post. Let’s jump in!

Starbucks Cold Beverages 100 Calories or Less

Here are 10 iced Starbucks drinks that are 100 calories or less for a tall (12-ounce) size.

1. Cold Brew Coffee: 5 Calories

The lowest calorie cold Starbucks coffee will be any black coffee without sweetener. Slow-steeped Cold Brew has less than 5 calories on its own. The Nitro Cold Brew has the same nutritional information but is infused with nitrogen for a foamy top. Add a light splash of your favorite milk (I like oat milk and almond milk) and it’ll still come to less than 50 calories. 

2. Iced Coffee: 5 Calories

Starbucks iced coffee traditionally comes sweetened, but you can order it black (unsweetened) for a 5-calorie drink or lightly sweetened for a 60-calorie drink. Starbucks Nitro Cold Brew 

3. Iced Shaken Espresso: 80 Calories

This drink combines shots of espresso, milk, ice, and classic syrup, which are shaken together. The standard tall version comes with 2% milk and 3 pumps of classic syrup for a total of 80 calories, but you can ask for skim or almond milk and less pumps of syrup to make it even lighter.

4. Iced Caffè Americano: 15 Calories

This drink includes espresso shots and cold water served over ice. If you like rich coffee, this is for you. A tall comes to just 15 calories. I recommend asking for it with extra ice as it can dilute the drink fairly quickly (the hot espresso is poured directly over the ice).

5. Iced Almond Milk Latte: 60 Calories

If you like a milk-forward, mellow iced coffee, you’ll love this one. Starbucks’ almond milk has just 60 calories and 3 grams of sugar in one cup, so depending on the barista’s pour, a tall iced almond milk latte will come out to roughly 80 calories. Iced almond milk cappuccinos and flat whites have similar calorie counts.

6. Iced Skinny Mocha: 90 Calories

If you have a chocolate craving, this drink is just 90 calories. It combines skinny mocha sauce, non-fat milk, and espresso over ice and isn’t too sweet. 

7. Starbucks Doubleshot on Ice: 70 Calories

The doubleshot is similar to the iced shaken espresso but includes more sweetener. Even so, a tall Starbucks doubleshot on ice with 2% milk has just 70 calories and 11 grams of sugar.

8. Light Frappuccinos: 80–100 Calories

I lived in Florida for a summer and this was one of my favorite things to order! The Espresso Light Frappuccino Blended coffee is a blended drink that combines espresso and nonfat milk for just 80 calories in a tall. You can also order the Caramel Frappuccino light for a sweet treat that comes out to exactly 100 calories.

9. Teavana Shaken Iced Teas: 60 Calories

Choose from Passion Tango Tea, Black Tea, and Green Tea. All are 60 calories and feature Teavana tea lightly sweetened and shaken with ice.

10. Starbucks Refreshers: 45–80 Calories

Starbucks offers Very Berry Hibiscus (60 calories), Cool Lime (45 calories), and Strawberry Acai (80 calories) refreshers. In these drinks, fruit juice is combined with green coffee extract for light caffeination.

How to Create Your Own Low Calorie Starbucks Iced Drink

If the drinks above don’t pique your interest and you DIY it, here’s how to keep your coffee drink light and order a low calorie iced coffee at Starbucks.

Ask for Fewer Pumps of Syrup

Ask for less syrup to reduce the calories and sweetness of your beverage. Regular Starbucks syrups have between 20 and 40 calories per pump. Sugar-free varieties (most stores carry sugar-free vanilla and may carry sugar-free caramel or cinnamon dolce) have 0 calories.

Ask for Light or Skinny

Most iced espresso and blended drinks can be made “light” or “skinny. This means they’re made with sugar-free syrup, no whipped cream, and non-fat milk. You can make modifications to this (light with almond milk, for example) to suit your preferences.

Skip Whipped Cream

Skipping the whipped cream can save you between 80 and 110 calories, depending on the size of your drink. 

Know Your Milk Choices

Starbucks carries dairy (half and half, heavy cream, nonfat/skim milk, 2%, whole milk) options and non-dairy options (almond, soy, oat, and coconut milk). Almond and skim are the lightest options, with just 60 and 80 calories per cup, respectively.

Sweeten with Stevia

If you’re finding that coffee is bitter without all the add ins, try asking for 1-2 packs of stevia in your drink or on the side. Whether you’re keto/low carb or not, added sugar isn’t the healthiest and Stevia can help satisfy your sweet tooth without the calories.

You can also check out the Starbucks menu online for exact nutrition information and ingredients, but keep in mind that the website doesn’t have a flexible calorie counter and that the nutrition facts for drinks do not update if you modify them (add/remove pumps, change milk types, change to a grande or venti size, etc.).
