00:00 If you have diabetes, you don't have to avoid
00:02 your go-to takeout places or chain restaurants.
00:05 Life gets busy and sometimes it's the only option
00:07 you have for a quick meal or drink on the road.
00:09 Here are the four best low-sugar Starbucks drinks
00:12 for people with diabetes.
00:13 One, short latte.
00:15 Lattes contain two ingredients, milk and espresso.
00:18 Contrary to popular belief, you don't actually have to add
00:21 any type of syrup or sweetener.
00:23 The natural sweetness of the milk can help mellow
00:25 the bitterness of the coffee for something
00:27 that's super satisfying without overdoing the added sugar.
00:30 Two, black coffee.
00:32 While it may sound like a lackluster suggestion,
00:34 there's a whole world of different types of coffee beans
00:37 that have their own flavor profiles, roast types,
00:40 and even mouthfeels.
00:41 Getting a cup straight up can help you enjoy the nuances
00:44 of the different types without added sugar or cream
00:46 masking the flavor.
00:47 Three, iced green tea.
00:49 Like black coffee, teas are naturally calorie
00:51 and sugar-free on their own.
00:53 Four, cold brew coffee.
00:55 Similar to plain coffee and tea,
00:57 it's naturally sugar and calorie-free.
00:59 If you have diabetes, it doesn't mean you can never enjoy
01:01 your favorite sweetened coffee drink,
01:03 but it's best to enjoy it as a special occasion
01:05 rather than a regular part of your routine.
01:08 I hope this helps make it easier the next time
01:09 you're on a trip to your favorite coffee shop,
01:11 Starbucks, or otherwise.
01:13 Thanks for watching.
