In case you haven\u2019t heard, the Starbucks\u2019s new Fall Menu<\/a> drinks are back for another year! Bringing back old favorites and new additions, the drink line-up this year features familiar fall flavors like pumpkin and apple. Mixed with classic Starbucks offerings like chai lattes and cold brew, there\u2019s plenty of options to choose from next time you hit the drive-thru.\u00a0<\/p>\n

MyFitnessPal asked registered dietitian Denise Hernandez for her tips in modifying the menu to help keep you on track with your health and wellness goals while enjoying the many great options Starbucks has to offer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

How To Modify Any Starbucks Drinks To Fit Your Goals<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Often, when we order coffee at a coffee shop or a chain, we aren\u2019t always focused on the exact nutritional details of our favorite drinks. \u201cIt is important for consumers to be aware of the ingredients in their favorite coffee drinks,\u201d Hernandez says. \u201cCalories, fat and sugar amounts can add up with the different syrups and flavors we add to these beverages.\u201d<\/p>\n

While you consider which new drink to try, Hernandez advises to keep these general tips in mind next time you order:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Control portion sizes. <\/strong>\u201cSimply going down a size can reduce calories, fat and sugar.\u201d<\/li>\n
  2. Reduce sugar content. <\/strong>\u201cLower sugar modifications prevent high blood sugar and high triglycerides.\u201d<\/li>\n
  3. Choose lower-fat or non-dairy milk options. <\/strong>\u201cAlmond milk is the best option if one is trying to cut back on fat. Soy milk is for those who want a non-dairy option due to lactose intolerance but would still like some protein. Oat milk is also a good non-dairy option for those with lactose intolerance, but the calories and natural sugar content can be higher.\u201d<\/li>\n
  4. Ask for fewer pumps of syrups or use sugar-free alternatives.<\/strong> \u201cRequesting fewer pumps allows for a decrease in calories and sugar. For example, 4 pumps of pumpkin spice syrup go into a Grande Pumpkin Spice Latte, coming out to 390 calories, while only 2 pumps reduce the calories to 300.\u201d<\/li>\n
  5. Skip whipped cream or other high-calorie toppings. <\/strong>\u201cThis will lower fat content which helps prevent cardiovascular disease. If you\u2019re keen on adding a little extra something to your drink, go for a spice like cinnamon or nutmeg. If you really desire a regular topping, ask for a lighter serving.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These seasonal drinks are only available for a limited turn, so enjoy them! But if you\u2019re drinking them more often than not, find your drink-of-choice below and consider Hernandez\u2019s modifications, all of which will reduce the total amount of calories, sugar, and fat in your drink!\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Pumpkin Spice Latte<\/h3>\n

    For a grande size, you\u2019re drinking 390 calories, 52g of carbs, 50g of sugar, 14g of total fat, and 14g of protein.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    \u201cFirst, I\u2019d opt for a tall. And instead of 3 pumps, I\u2019d ask for just one to two pumps, and nonfat or almond milk.\u201d<\/p>\n

    The Bottom Line: Balance Health With Taste<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    We get it: there\u2019s nothing better in the fall than diving into the warm, cozy flavors that make it such a special time of the year. It can be tough to balance getting in all your fall favorites with your own personal nutrition goals or fitness journey. But, it\u2019s possible to have the best of both worlds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    \u201cAlways ask the coffee shop what low calorie, low fat or low sugar\/sugar-free options are available for the drink of your choice. Several of the sugar free options are just as tasty as their regular counterparts!\u201d Hernandez advises.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    She\u2019s also looking forward to getting a taste of the Starbuck\u2019s new fall menu drinks. \u201cI\u2019m most excited to try the pumpkin cream cold brew,\u201d she says. \u201cI love pumpkin spiced flavors, however, since my local weather doesn\u2019t start to cool down until late Fall, a cold brewed option is just right up my alley!\u201d Choosing the option that fits her needs doesn\u2019t have to be a chore, sometimes it\u2019s as simple as choosing hot or iced!\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Next time you pop into Starbucks, keep these tips in mind\u2014you have so many options at your disposal! Small changes don\u2019t take away from big flavors. Make the most out of fall favorites, and enjoy every sip knowing you\u2019re getting the best option for you and your goals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
