Do you ever feel bad about that drink from Starbucks? The caramel macchiato with extra caramel, the frappucino that reminds you of those Jr. High days, or that sweet refresher? You are in luck.

Over the summer I discovered Alex Moe, aka "TheMacroBarista" on Instagram. He is an employee at a Starbucks in Abilene, Texas. His goal is to find macro-friendly versions of Starbucks drinks by creating his own version and twists on some of the drinks the chain provides. Moe has quickly blown up in the Instagram world with a whopping 75,000 current followers and counting. Many known fitness influencers on Instagram are also huge fans of his.

Moe goes above and beyond with his drinks, providing the calories, carbs, fat, protein, and sugar for each drink. He follows up with detail about how exactly to go up and order the drink at Starbucks yourself. This is key considering they can get tricky, and it simplifies everything for you and the person taking your order. I have personally messaged Moe with questions about drinks, he is quick on replying, helping you, and open to ideas for other drinks you may want to be modified.

I have listed two drinks that I have personally tried and have absolutely LOVED.

Iced Cinnamon Almond Milk Macchiato

I could not believe that this drink is only 90 calories! I mean come on, what more could you ask for? Below is also a screenshot of the type of detailed captions he provides.

Protein Pink Drink

If you are familiar with the infamous pink drink from Starbucks, I highly suggest giving this one a try. And it is a good source of protein if you still want to stay on track with those goals as well.

Another great thing Moe provides is adding all of his drinks on to the "My Fitness Pal" app. That way if you like to track your caloric intake for the day, you do not have to worry about messing up the macros for the drinks! I would highly suggest giving Moe a follow. You will not be disappointed.
