Starbucks Sugar-Free Drinks

Sugar is in a lot of Starbucks drink so it can be a little tough trying to find sugar-free options. Here’s a list of every sugar-free drink at Starbucks.

Tips for Ordering Sugar-Free Drinks

• Keep it simple
  The sugar-free items on the menu are the most straightforward without any flavors. Drinks like brewed coffee, Iced Latte, Americano, Chai Tea, are all made without sugar unless you ask for it.
• Avoid flavored drinks except for vanilla
  All syrups are made with sugar, except for sugar-free vanilla syrup. Iced Mocha, Cinnamon Dolce Latte, and Iced Caramel Macchiato are all flavored using sugary syrups.
• Avoid Frappuccinos
  All Frappuccinos are made with a Frappuccino base syrup that is loaded with sugar. Unfortunately, there’s no way to get a Frappuccino that’s sugar-free.
• Be aware of sugar in milk products
  Starbucks uses soy milk, almondmilk, oatmilk, and coconutmilk that contain sugar in the ingredients.
• Sweeten with sugar substitutes
  Stevia in the Raw and Splenda are the two sugar substitutes that’s available.
• Milk becomes sweeter when steamed
  Steamed milk is sweeter than cold milk. This has to do with milk sugars breaking down as they become hotter and as they break down from complex to simple sugars, it’s easier to taste the sweetness.
• Ristretto shots are slightly sweeter than espresso shots
  You can replace espresso with ristretto in any espresso-based drink. Ristretto is an espresso made with less water and it’s slightly sweeter, without some of the bitter notes you’ll find in espresso.
• Ask if you’re not sure
  In general, the cold drinks menu is where sweeteners are snuck in, so be sure to ask your barista what’s in the drink. For example, a shaken iced espresso, which sounds like it’s just espresso and ice, is actually served with sweetener and milk.
