TikTok's Top 10 Hacks for Healthy Starbucks Drinks That Taste Just As Good

We love a good TikTok hack.

I am all about treating yourself. And for me, that usually involves running over to my local Starbucks for an afternoon latte.

While it may do wonders for my tastebuds, it's not as kind to the rest of my body. It varies depending on what you're ordering, but an average Starbucks drink has around 260 calories—and a ton of sugar. According to a 2016 study, most of your favorite coffee concoctions are more pumped with sugar than a can of Coca-Cola.

As alarming as that may be, like you, it's not enough for me to give up my midday treat. An occasional, full-bodied beverage is fine. But when treating yourself is close to an everyday occurrence, finding some healthier alternatives is a must. Luckily, TikTok has become a source of inspiration for finding ways to make my favorite sugar-filled Starbucks orders a little healthier.

Now, these aren't healthy, pre-made drinks you can order, but rather recipes to customize your own beverage. If you're like me and the thought of shouting a precise amount of sugar-free vanilla pumps gives you massive anxiety, fear not. Mobile ordering through the app makes it so much easier to DIY your order without annoying the barista.

So whether you're a fan of chai tea lattes, iced coffee, or caramel macchiatos, these better-for-you swaps will make your sips just as satisfying as the original.
