Starbucks has achieved a great balance on their menu between super high calorie espresso and coffee blends and drinks where the calories are even barely there.

Lowest Calorie Starbucks Drinks
Coffee:
The café Americano is the definition of basic at Starbucks, it is simply Starbucks brewed black coffee. After you are given your coffee you can customize it to your liking by adding your favorite type of milk and sugar. Of course, you can also opt to go for a completely black coffee, simply sweetened to your liking with sugar or one of the many sugar substitutes available at Starbucks. The café Americano comes in at 10 calories for a tall order.
Latte:
A cappuccino is the lowest calorie option for espresso-based hot lattes. If a cappuccino is ordered with whole milk at a size of grande (which is the medium size in Starbucks, not the largest), the cappuccino would come in at 140 calories. By simply opting to substitute whole milk for non fat milk, the calories in your cappuccino shift from 140 calories per cup down to 80 calories per cup, saving you 60 calories.
Iced Espresso:
For this category there is a tie between the Starbucks Doubleshot™ on Ice and the Iced Café latte. Both coming in at 90 calories with non fat milk, it’s a toss up. Let personal preference dictate which drink it is that you should choose.
Tea:
The lowest calorie Tazo tea is the original Tazo tea, coming in at 0 calories it is a dieters dream. However if you are looking for a more indulgent and fulfilling taste, you should opt for a Tazo Chai tea latte. The Tazo Chai tea latte comes in at 200 calories, but the taste is well worth it, it is naturally sweet so you will have to add little or no sugar, ultimately saving dozens of calories.
