Keto for PCOS | Day 26: My 5 Go-To Starbucks Orders – Keto-Friendly Edition

Meta Title: My Favorite Keto Starbucks Drinks in the Philippines Meta Description: 

Keto or not, I love a good café moment. But when I started cutting sugar and carbs to manage my PCOS, my usual frappes had to go. The good news? Starbucks actually has a few workarounds that let me enjoy my caffeine fix without the insulin spike.

Here are my 5 favorite keto-friendly Starbucks drinks that keep me feeling chic and sugar-stable:

1. Americano with Heavy Cream

Simple, strong, and comforting. I order it hot or iced with a splash of heavy cream instead of milk. No sugar needed.

2. Cold Brew with Almond Milk

Super refreshing on humid Manila days. I ask for unsweetened almond milk and no classic syrup. I sweeten it with stevia drops I bring in my bag (pro move).

3. Iced Tea (No Classic Syrup)

Most people don’t know Starbucks tea comes pre-sweetened. So I ask for it unsweetened, then add lemon or stevia. Light, energizing, and easy on hormones.

4. Caffè Misto with Almond or Coconut Milk

This one feels creamy and cozy. I get a half-brewed coffee, half steamed nut milk—no syrup. It satisfies the latte craving without the sugar crash.

5. Espresso Shot over Ice + Splash of Cream (and make it frappe!)

When I need a quick boost. It’s low-carb, bold, and totally customizable. Sometimes I add a dash of cinnamon powder for fun.

PS Always ask your barista to skip classic syrup—it’s the sneaky sugar bomb in most Starbucks drinks. And if you bring your own sweetener, even better!

Being on keto doesn’t mean giving up the café lifestyle—it just means learning how to tweak the menu. With these options, I still get my Starbucks fix without messing up my progress.
