If you're dying to dive face first into Starbucks' new Sugar Cookie Almond Milk latte but worry about the calories, carbs, and sugar, this article is for you!
There is no one that lives for an overpriced coffee quite like myself, but I do try to watch what I put into my body and for me personally, most of Starbucks drinks holiday or not, are just too high in calories, carbs, fat and sugar for me to truly enjoy. I really wanted to find a way to enjoy my favorite drinks without all the guilt, and I think I've found the closest thing to a guilt free Starbucks experience: @themacrobarista on Instagram.
Alex Moe, the man behind the account, is a barista from Austin, TX who figures out how to recreate your favorite Starbucks drinks in a healthier way without compromising the taste, for the most part. There are "healthier" versions of all your favorite drinks like the iconic PSL, the Peppermint Mocha and the new and already fan favorite Sugar Cookie Almond Milk Latte.
Alex breaks down how to order your favorite drink, hot or iced, and is usually pretty good about answering questions in the comments section too! Sometimes he even includes a "Starbucks version" vs. "macrobarista version" to show you the difference in what you're ordering, plus you can find helpful infographs on his page if you scroll a little bit like the nutritional info for Starbucks' syrups.
Happy ordering!
