Not all coffee drinkers are crazy, take-it-black die hards. Like any other human I need my caffeine but I’m not here for the natural bean water flavor. I’ve also been erring on the side of too much sugar lately, so I’m trying to cut back without compromising too much flavor.Enter my latest favorite, the Skinny Vanilla Blonde Latte.
Why this Starbucks Latte?
The blonde roast keeps it super smooth. It has a much lighter coffee taste to begin with, so it doesn’t overpower the other flavors. The latte comes standard with 2% milk, which I leave, but you can swap for almond or coconut for even less sugar. It’s a pretty lean option – compared to a lot of other items you can get on the menu with more flavor than just ‘bean’ – as long as you use the skinny syrup.
How to Order a Skinny Vanilla Blonde Latte
The order is almost as-is on the app, but the one adjustment you need to make is the biggest sugar-reducing factor: the syrup. By default, this latte comes with the regular Vanilla Syrup. Be sure to change the pumps to 0, and add 3 pumps of the Sugar-Free Vanilla Syrup.
Like most orders aside from a Grande Pike it’s sooo much easier to order on the app. Either way though, your instructions to try this delicious cup’a Joe for yourself are right here.
Starbucks Vanilla Blonde Latte Nutrition
Compared to other items you can indulge in, this one isn’t half as bad, especially if you order it with sugar free vanilla syrup.
NOTE: The information above doesn’t account for the sugar-free syrup option. Approximately 8 grams of sugar is from the 2% milk, and I estimate the rest to be from the syrup. Using the sugar free syrup option should save you about 19 grams of sugar per latte!
It’s important to note that a grande in this drink has 170 mg of caffeine. It’s almost the max for the day if you’re an expectant mama, or may be more than you can enjoy if you’re caffeine sensitive.
