Whether you're a secret drinks fan, into something aesthetically pleasing to sip on, or want a cold coffee with a kick, Starbucks is here for you. If you're eating with a calorie target in mind, either because your doctor has you on a specific nutritional plan or for a personal goal, Starbies has plenty of options that let you monitor exactly how many calories go into your drink — a level of customization that keeps many customers coming back for more (in addition to the cake pops). In these causes, it can be useful to know the Starbucks syrup calories.
POPSUGAR reached out to the coffee giant to provide you with a breakdown of Starbucks syrups's calories and nutrition information, so you can put together the perfect beverage for you.
