A grande Caramel Frappuccino has 54g sugar (GL ~30-35). How to order drinks and food that won't spike your blood sugar at Starbucks.

The Sugar Problem

Frappuccinos, flavored lattes, chai tea latte (42g sugar) -- these are sugar bombs. Fix: half sweet, sugar-free syrup, or unsweetened with stevia.

Low-GL Orders

Tall Americano (0g sugar). Tall Latte with almond milk (5g sugar, GL ~2). Egg White Bites (GL ~3). Avoid the bakery case entirely.
