Happy weekend, everyone! I’m kicking off this soon-to-be steamy 95° DC day with a cool and refreshing Macro-Friendly Iced Caramel
Macchiato. My macro friendly version of this Starbucks classic has just 85 calories per 16 oz serving, compared to the Starbucks version which has 250 calories for the same size! Is it as rich and caramel-y as the original? Of course not, but it’s a pretty good dupe that’s easy to make at home. If you want to make it more like the real thing, skip the caramel syrup mixed in the drink and instead drizzle a bit of caramel sauce on top before serving. What’s the difference between an iced macchiato and an iced latte, you may ask? Well…not much. The only real difference is how they’re built – for a latte the espresso is at the bottom of the cup, but for a macchiato, the espresso is poured over top of the milk. If you’re sipping sans straw and have not mixed your drink, you’ll definitely notice a difference. Otherwise it all
mixes together and tastes the same! I kept things pretty
simple for this homemade version of the Pink Drink, and you only need a few ingredients to make a really delicious dupe. Here’s what I used: Macros for Starbucks Version (Grande) 250 calories / 10 g protein / 7 g fat / 37 g carbs (including 34 g sugar) Macros for PBF Version 85 calories / 13 g protein / 0 g fat / 7 g carbs (including 6 g sugar) Here are some items I used to make this recipe a
success. Note: these are Amazon Affiliate links.Recipe
