Espresso shot
A straightforward shot of espresso is a terrific sugar-free choice if all you need is a caffeine boost. A shot of espresso contains nearly the same amount of caffeine as an entire 8-ounce cup of coffee and contains no sugar, much like black coffee. Starbucks espresso has the added benefit of being good enough to be enjoyed on its own, making it a wonderful diet and cost-effective option to satisfy your coffee craving and Top Sugar-Free Starbucks Drinks.
Plain black coffee
Although it may seem apparent, the best option if you want to eliminate sugar from your diet is simple black coffee without any milk or sugar. If you’re serious about lowering your sugar intake, we advise sticking to black coffee because even adding milk might add trace quantities of sugar to your diet.It would be extreme to stop drinking flavoured beverages and other speciality coffee drinks, so think about switching between a sweet beverage and plain coffee. It will be simpler to maintain the habit than to stop drinking sweetened coffee abruptly.
Flat white
A flat white is a milkier choice if you find that a cappuccino doesn’t have quite enough milk for you. Although the large flat white includes 13 grammes of sugar, it is not nearly as sweet as some of the syrup-heavy flavoured lattes, making it somewhat sweeter than a cappuccino. For those who find cappuccinos excessively strong, flat whites bridge the gap between lattes and cappuccinos.
Iced Tea
Starbucks’ cold brew is silky, tasty, and sugar-free. Due to the lengthier, slower extraction process, cold brew coffee is inherently sweeter than hot brew. You’ll adore cold brew if you enjoy velvety mouthfeel and undertones of chocolate. Additionally, Starbucks offers the option to increase the sugar in its cold brew coffees by adding cold foam.
Flavoured coffee
If two or less pumps of flavoured coffee are more your style than black coffee and tea, feel free to request that instead. Starbucks flavour syrups only have 10 grammes of sugar per two pumps, allowing you to indulge in a sweeter pleasure without feeling bad. One pump is a good place to start, and you should only increase it to two if you feel you require it. One pump may surprise you with how much flavour it provides.
Fortunately, you can still enjoy a flavorful coffee drink without the sugar by choosing one of these options:
Caffè Americano: This simple coffee drink is made by topping espresso with hot water, resulting in a warm and smooth drink that is sugar-free and high in caffeine. One grande Caffè Americano contains just 15 calories, 3 grams of carbs, and 0 grams of sugar1.
Espresso: Espresso is a concentrated type of coffee that provides a good amount of caffeine in each serving. Not only is it sugar-free, but a double shot of espresso at Starbucks contains just 10 calories and 2 grams of carbs1.
Brewed Coffee: With just 5 calories and 0 grams of carbs and sugar per serving, brewed coffee is a great option for those on a low carb or low sugar diet. Starbucks offers several varieties, such as Blonde, Dark, or Pike Place roasts. You can also add a bit of sugar-free sweetener like Splenda or stevia if you prefer1.
Espresso Macchiato: Starbucks’ espresso macchiato is simply an espresso topped with a little steamed milk and foam. It contains just 15 calories, 2 grams of carbs, and 0 grams of sugar, although this can vary depending on your choice of milk1.
Cappuccino: Cappuccino is made by adding a thick layer of milk foam to espresso. The drink doesn’t contain added sugar, but it does have some natural sugar from the milk. A grande cappuccino made with 2% milk provides 12 grams of sugar, which is still much lower than most other coffee drinks at Starbucks1.
Flat White: Made by combining short shots of espresso with steamed whole milk, the flat white is a concentrated coffee drink that is low in sugar. A grande flat white contains 17 grams of sugar, which is mostly from the milk. It also has a creamy and smooth texture and a rich flavor1.
Caffè Latte: Caffè latte, also sometimes simply referred to as a latte, is made from espresso, steamed milk, and a light layer of foam. Although many people choose to add sweeteners or syrups to their latte, the drink itself is free of added sugar. A grande caffè latte made with 2% milk contains 18 grams of sugar, which is mostly from the milk1.
Caffè Misto: Starbucks’ Caffè Misto contains equal amounts of brewed coffee and steamed milk. Similarly to other coffee drinks, it contains 10 grams of sugar from the milk but is made without added sugar.
