Fall for Flavor: 3 Starbucks Approved Drinks to Help Lower your A1C
If you’re looking to enjoy fall-themed Starbucks drinks while keeping blood sugar in check, here are three tasty and lower-sugar options to consider:
✨ Iced Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew:
Cold brew coffee is naturally lower in acidity and sugars, and the pumpkin spice flavor adds a seasonal touch without overwhelming sweetness. Opt for unsweetened almond or coconut milk and request minimal or no pumps of pumpkin spice syrup to keep it low in sugar.
✨ Spiced Apple Olive Oil Latte:
The Spiced Apple Olive Oil Latte combines apple flavors with a creamy texture from olive oil. Choose unsweetened almond or oat milk and ask for fewer pumps of the apple spice syrup. This modification helps keep sugar levels down while still delivering that fall flavor.
✨ Hot Chai Tea with Unsweetened Almond Milk:
Chai tea offers warm spices perfect for fall, and when made with unsweetened almond milk, it becomes a lower-carb option. Request it without added sweeteners or ask for a small amount of a sugar-free chai syrup if you prefer a touch of sweetness
These options let you enjoy the flavors of fall while staying mindful of your blood sugar levels.
