Macro-Friendly Starbucks Drinks: Holiday Edition
We are back with another macro-friendly Starbucks drink guide, but this time it's Holiday Edition!
Nothing speaks more of the holidays than the return of the red Starbucks holiday cup! From the pumpkin spice latte to the peppermint mocha, the instant satisfaction of the holiday inspired drink brings our tastebuds to a whole new level. With all these yummy flavors, there has to be a caveat, right? Most of these drinks tend to be loaded with extra sugar from the many pumps of syrup to the extra whip cream on top. No worries! We have your back so you can still enjoy these yummy holiday drinks while still crushing your fitness goals!
Today's blog post shares ways in which you can fit these yummy holiday drinks into your healthy diet! Keep reading to find your macro-friendly drink of choice!
Here at AstroFlav, we are all about treating yourself while still focusing on healthy eating habits and prioritizing nutrition. Indulging in food and drinks that you enjoy in moderation is quite alright! We do want to mention that there are many ways to swap these yummy treats with healthier alternatives. For this blog post, we are focusing on Starbucks drinks!
As we all may know already, Starbucks drinks can be loaded with extra sugar and calories. To put in perspective, 1 pump of classic syrup has 4 grams of sugar, with 20 calories per! Okay, so not bad. But when adding 3 to 4 to 5 pumps of syrup, the sugar can rack up!
Sometimes black cold brew just doesn't cut it. No worries! We have come up with 6 macro-friendly Starbucks drinks for you all to enjoy!
