How To Order Healthier Starbucks ☕️
Hello Reader,
I don't know about you, but I love Starbucks. But let's say what it is...some of their drinks are a little extreme. Today I'm sharing with you my options for healthy Starbucks orders!
I encourage you to try this swap next time you go:
Order your specialty latte half-sweet.
This means they use half the pumps in the coffee.
Example: they use 4 pumps in a grande PSL, so half would be 2. (I order it with one and it's still enough flavor.)
Personally, when I order it this way, I have fewer headaches and I just feel better.
Also...if you love coffee flavors, try this Mocha Chia Seed Pudding. It's a winner!
