You may also have to limit the size of the drink to a Tall (12oz) cup to stay below 100 calories if you want to keep some of the yummy ingredients in it.

Let’s drill down to the Starbucks low-calorie cold coffee drinks.

1. Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew (Tall – 90 Calories)

Tall (12oz) has 90 calories

This punchy and smooth cold brew drink is flavored with vanilla syrup in the coffee and topped with vanilla sweet cream.

You can go lower than 90 calories in a tall cup by subbing sugar-free vanilla for regular vanilla but retain the sweet cream to complement the sugar-free syrup.

3. Cold Brew with Sugar-Free Vanilla (5 Calories)

All cup sizes have less than 10 calories

Starbucks cold brew is not only refreshing and easy on your stomach but also super healthy if caffeine is not a problem for you. Sweetening it with sugar-free vanilla adds no calories to this extremely low-calorie drink.

Whether you want a gigantic Trenta (30ml) or a simple Tall (12oz), cold brew coffee with sugar-free vanilla has five calories only.

Here is an article that discusses sugar-free syrup from Starbucks.

4. Iced Brown Sugar Oat Milk Shaken Espresso (Tall – 90 Calories)

Tall (12oz) has 90 calories

Oftentimes, low-calorie coffee drinks are boring as they are usually stripped down to nearly straight coffee but that is not the case with the iced brown sugar oat milk shaken espresso.

This is a super delicious menu item but you may want to limit your order to a tall cup as the bigger cups have more than 100 calories.

5. Vanilla Sweet Cream Nitro Cold Brew (Grande – 70 Calories)

Grande (16oz) has 70 calories

This drink is only available in two cup sizes only: tall and grande sizes. Fortunately, both sizes have less than 100 calories.

Unlike vanilla sweet cream cold brew, there is no vanilla syrup in the nitro cold brew as vanilla only goes in the cold foam topping.

This drink gets a splash of vanilla sweet cream which accentuates the cascading appearance of nitro cold brew.

6. Iced Honey Almond Milk Flat White (Tall – 100 Calories)

Tall 12oz has 100 calories

Don’t go bigger than a tall cup with this drink as that’s a sure way to go over the 100 calories mark. Iced honey almond milk flat white combines ice, Starbucks honey blend, blonde ristretto, and sweetened almond milk.

7. Iced Toasted Vanilla Oat Milk Shaken Espresso (Tall – 100 Calories)

Tall (12oz) has 100 calories)

Toasted vanilla syrup is not for everyone as it is a bit of an acquired taste. This is a layered drink with toasted vanilla, ice, and espresso shaken together and topped with a splash of oat milk.

8. Iced Caffe Americano (Venti – 15 Calories)

Tall (12oz) has 10 calories and Venti (24oz) has 15 calories

An iced Caffe Americano has a bold espresso flavor. You can have it blonde or regular. Starbucks plain iced Caffe Americano has 15 calories for a venti size. This gives you room to add a few pumps of your choice syrup without cloying the drink.

My favorite flavors in an iced Americano are 2-3 pumps of brown sugar or two pumps of white mocha and one pump of toffee nut syrup. You can also top it with sweet cream to cut the coffee.

9. Iced Chocolate Almond Milk Shaken Espresso (Tall – 80 Calories)

Tall (12oz) has 80 calories

Starbucks uses its own chocolate malt powder which is already sweetened with cane sugar. A combination of ice, chocolate powder, and espresso is shaken and topped with Starbucks sweetened almond milk.

The drink has no syrup. You can also order the drink with oat milk instead of almond milk.

10. Iced Espresso (10 Calories)

This drink is an iced double espresso. It has 10 calories so there is enough room to sweeten it but since it’s small in volume, you may not want to add more than a pump or two of your choice syrup.

Try it with classic syrup or vanilla.

11. Nitro Cold Brew (Grande – 5 Calories)

If you love to drink straight coffee with no sweetener, you may fancy a plain nitro cold brew. It is naturally sweeter than regular cold brew coffee due to infused nitrogen.

Nitro cold brew is limited to two cup sizes, grande and tall cup. There are only five calories in the drink.

7 Ways to Reduce the Calories in Iced Coffee Drinks

Here are seven practical ways to reduce the calories in iced coffee.

1. Order straight iced coffee, iced espresso, or cold brew. Plain coffee has very few calories. For example, espresso has 1-2 calories per ounce. Both regular coffee and cold brew have less than 5 calories per 8oz cup.
2. Use sugar-free syrup. Swapping a high-calorie syrup or sauce with a sugar-free option sweetens the drink without adding calories.
3. Reduce the number of pumps of the syrup or sauce. The higher the number of pumps of syrup or sauce, the higher the calories in the drink. Each pump of regular syrup adds 15-30 calories whereas each pump of sauce adds up to 47 calories depending on the sauce.
4. Split the number of pumps between a regular syrup and a sugar-free option. For example, instead of adding four pumps of toffee nut, split the four pumps into two pumps of toffee nut and two pumps of sugar-free syrup.
5. Reduce the size of the drink. A tall drink has more calories than a short one as it uses more sweeteners, flavors, and milk. See all the cup sizes you can order from Starbucks.
6. Add low-calorie milk options. Generally, nonfat milk has fewer calories than whole milk.
7. Avoid whipped cream and the other toppings from Starbucks as they will add to the calories.
