Okay so in this video I’m literally giving you an amazing Starbucks life hack: how to DIY my fave drink in the world — an iced caramel macchiato — that tastes spot-on like Starbucks but fits your macros. I’m an ex Starbucks barista and I’m not paying six dollars for a drink when I can make it at home for like 54–55 calories and 3 carbs. Also, I’m making it iced because I don’t like hot drinks (except a tall soy latte, don’t come for me). I walk you through exactly what you need: almond milk (or coconut/regular milk if you want), a doppio espresso (because a grande has two shots), sugar-free vanilla syrup (yes, it’s vanilla syrup, not caramel), and a zero-cal caramel syrup. I also show you how to do it “Cali style” by coating the cup with caramel first, then adding syrup, milk, espresso, and ice. The taste test was actually insane — it legit hit like a caramel macchiato — and I’ll throw the macros up: around 54/55 cals, 3 carbs, 3 fats, 2 protein. If you’re dieting but still obsessed with caramel macchiatos like me, this is the move.
