Low-calorie Starbucks coffee options
If you want to keep calories low while enjoying coffee at Starbucks, these simple, clean choices are your best bet.
Plain Brewed Coffee (Black Coffee)
Calories: ~5
The lightest option when you skip milk and sugar—straightforward flavor and very low calories.
Espresso Shot
Calories: ~10
A small but powerful caffeine boost with minimal calories.
Americano (Espresso + Water)
Calories: ~15
Lighter taste than espresso on its own, still very low in calories.
Nitro Cold Brew (without milk or sugar)
Calories: ~5–10
Smooth and refreshing with higher caffeine, and remains ultra-light without add-ins.
Cold Brew Coffee (unsweetened)
Calories: ~5–10
Naturally smooth with subtle sweetness, satisfying yet low in calories.
Tips to reduce calories
Milk swap: Choose non-fat milk or plant-based options like almond or oat instead of whole milk or cream.
Syrup control: Ask for sugar-free syrup or light syrup; reducing default syrup lowers calories.
No whip: Skip whipped cream to save a significant amount of calories.
