From Pumpkin Spice Latte to Frappuccino season, Starbucks is pretty much a standing engagement for many people. But you may not realize that while you're getting your morning caffeine fix, you may be indulging in some unnecessary calories.

That's not to say that all of the Starbucks menu is taking a toll on your waistline. A number of menu items — from breakfast and lunch picks to coffee and tea orders — aren't bad for you. In fact, some are downright healthy!

When it comes to making over your Starbucks order, and it's easier than you think. Read on for the healthiest drink and food choices off the menu.
