Calorie Bargain: Starbucks “Skinny” Menu, including Skinny Mocha and Skinny Lattes.
 
The Why: Starbucks has taken a long time to realize that people do want healthier choices and the nutritional information on all those Frappacinos and lattes they’re consuming. I never knew that Starbucks serves 2% fat free milk with all its beverages. The newest addition to the “Skinny” series is the Skinny Mocha (a tall Caffé Mocha with sugar-free syrup and nonfat milk), which offers chocolate lovers a way to indulge without too much guilt

The Health Bonus: You’re still getting 30% of your daily calcium needs and 9g of protein.
 
What We Liked Best: The fact that these are significantly lower in calories than the regular versions.
 
What We Liked Least: The syrups use artificial sweeteners.
 
What It Replaces: Regular lattes or Caffé Mocha at about 300 calories with whipped cream.

Other Offerings: Cinnamon Dolce, Hazelnut, Caramel, Vanilla and Gingerbread
 
Where to Buy: Any Starbucks (just look up and you’ll see one).
 
Nutritional Information: 90 calories, 0g fat, 9g protein, 14g carbs, 125mg Sodium
