Did you know Starbucks has over 170,000 ways to customize beverages? WOW! That can be very overwhelming trying to find a WW friendly option that fits your lifestyle. Here is a Starbucks WW Friendly Holiday Drink Guide to help make that decision a little more easier!

Starbucks Customization Tips:

1. Select your milk: You can choose from whole, 2% milk or nonfat milk, or non-dairy alternatives such as soy, coconut and almond.
2. Choose how many pumps of syrup you want: To lower the points of your flavored beverage, ask for fewer pumps of syrup, or select a sugar-free syrup.
3. Ask for “less whip” or “no whip.”
