Well, just one of these medium sized scones weighs in at an astounding 490 calories, plus 18 grams of fat. Or take their iced lemon pound cake for example, one slice of this will cost you a whopping 500 calories in total, plus 23 grams of fat! Sure, it\u2019s great to treat yourself now and again, but if Starbucks is your regular stop-off point before work, or during your lunch break, then you might want to consider some healthier alternatives. Thankfully, that\u2019s where we come in. We\u2019ve been doing some investigating, and have compiled a list of some of the healthiest breakfast, lunch, and snack options, so that you don\u2019t need to forgo your diet.

This spinach, feta and egg wrap is only 290 calories, and boasts a colossal 20 grams of protein. It\u2019s also packed with lots of fiber, providing 3 grams in total. Despite its low calorie status, this wrap is super moreish, and you\u2019re sure to be satisfied with the eggy-cheesy concoction. In addition to this, the wrap is super compact, and easy to eat on the go. 2. Kale And Mushroom Egg Bites Calling all keto advocates! We\u2019ve got the perfect snack for you. With most of the food items at Starbucks consisting of carb based ingredients, spotting some keto-friendly items is super exciting. These kale and mushroom egg bites are just what they say on the tin. Made from cage free eggs, tangy cheese, portobello mushrooms, and juicy kale, they\u2019re a great snack to opt for to tide you over until dinnertime. If you want to spice things up a little, why not add some sriracha to your order? These devilishly delicious egg bites are a great source of protein, boasting a total of 15 grams, along with 2 grams of fiber. The best thing about these fun-sized morsels is that they only contain 230 calories. 3. Reduced Fat Turkey Bacon And Egg White Sandwich If you\u2019re craving something a little denser and more filling, why not try this reduced fat, turkey-bacon, and egg sandwich? The bun resembles a muffin, and contains plenty of ooey-gooey cheese that melts over the juicy bacon slices packed inside. Super low in calories, this lunchtime option only has 230 in total. It\u2019s full of flavor, and we love the satisfyingly dense texture that makes this item a dream to bite into. This sandwich will also help to keep you going throughout a busy workday, containing 27 grams of protein, and 3 grams of fiber. 4. Rolled And Steel Cut Oatmeal Starbucks has a great selection of breakfast based items, but the issue is, most of these are packed to the brim full of calorific items. Their sausage, cheddar, and egg breakfast sandwich, for example, contains an astounding 500 calories. So, what can you order instead to give you that much needed pick-me-up, in the morning? Well, if you\u2019ve not yet had the pleasure of trying the chain\u2019s deliciously moreish, steel cut oatmeal, we\u2019d recommend that you give it a try. This dish is incredibly warming, and is perfect to indulge in as the weather grows colder. Instead of packing your oatmeal with brown sugar, opt for some dried fruit instead. You can also add in some nuts, to give it a super satisfying texture. This one contains 410 calories (which is great, considering the portion size), 8 grams of protein, and 7 grams of fiber. 5. Starbucks Petite Vanilla Bean Scone Craving something sweet? Okay, we hear you. If you want a sugary, tasty treat to sink your teeth into, we\u2019d recommend Starbucks\u2019 vanilla bean scone. They\u2019re great for pairing with a warm cup of coffee, and don\u2019t contain the colossal amount of added sugar like some other dessert-menu items. In fact, they only have a total of 8 grams of sugar. This doesn\u2019t mean that they\u2019re not sweet however, as they taste super sugary, tempered by the delicate, earthy flavor of the vanilla glaze. The best thing about these scones is that they\u2019re 120 calories apiece! This means that you can safely order two, (or three!), without any guilt. 6. Kale And Farro Salad If you\u2019ve looking to cut down your meat consumption, and feel like opting for a veggie-based lunch, then we\u2019d like to present this tasty kale and farro salad. Packed to the brim full of goodness, this salad includes crispy apples, juicy kale, chunky red cabbage, and fresh, shredded carrots. A sweet, red wine vinaigrette is then drizzled all over the top, giving the dish an incredibly tangy, acidic flavor, that compliments the sweetness of the honey. This dish comes in at 400 calories, a huge 7 grams of fiber, and 8 grams of protein. Impressive for a meatless dish. 7. Avocado Spread Unless you\u2019ve been living under a rock, you\u2019ve probably witnessed the buzz surrounding Starbucks\u2019 avocado spread. This organic spread comes in a cute, compact container, giving you a delightful little portion to lather on your bagel. It\u2019s super eye-catching, displaying an incredibly satisfying green color that\u2019s produced by all-natural ingredients. This super creamy spread is made from organic avocados, jalapeno peppers, lime juice, sea salt, onion, and nothing else! Even the process they use to preserve the spread is health conscious, employing high pressure processing, rather than adding any artificial items. All this, and it\u2019s only 90 calories, as well providing you with a healthy 4 gram dosage of fiber. Conclusion Though it might seem like Starbucks is out-of-bounds when you\u2019re trying to be more health aware, this doesn\u2019t have to be the case. As you can see, there are lots of tasty breakfast and lunch options to choose from, as well as plenty of snack items to keep you going throughout the day.
