Choosing a drink at Starbucks is almost like looking for true love: complicated, full of tempting options, and often makes you feel like you have to give something up to enjoy it. You know what I mean — either you get a black coffee that tastes like punishment, or you order a frappé that has more calories than your entire meal.
But that’s exactly where Annie Gebben (@anniegebben on TikTok) comes in. She’s a content creator who keeps it real, and in her latest TikTok video, she shares a tip that, honestly, we all needed: her go-to low-calorie drink.
It’s the Grande Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso. Yes, the name’s a bit of a tongue twister, but every word is worth it. Annie recommends it as the ideal option for those of us who want a sweet, creamy coffee without feeling like we’re drinking a liquid dessert. The best part? It only has 120 calories.
The coffee taking over Miami (and why you should try it)
This drink is becoming a must-have because it solves the eternal dilemma of wanting something tasty without sabotaging your healthy lifestyle. Annie puts it like this: it’s sweet, creamy, with that brown sugar twist, but not so sugary that you feel like you just drank a candy bar.
The oatmilk adds a silky touch, the espresso gives it just the right amount of bitterness, and together, they make the perfect blend.
And this isn’t just a “random recommendation.” What Annie reminds us is that taking care of what you eat doesn’t mean living on a diet or settling for bland food. Sometimes, the secret is in making smart choices and not overcomplicating things.

Your new go-to for the days you need a boost
Annie’s video not only makes us crave this coffee — it’s also a mini reminder that small decisions, like swapping your 400-calorie frappé for this lighter version, can add up in a big way. As Annie says in her video: “This is your sign.”
Personally, I’m taking away this lesson: you don’t have to give up your favorite Starbucks order to take care of yourself. You just need to adjust your mindset, look for lighter options, and most importantly, keep enjoying the things you love.
So next time you’re on your coffee run, dare to try the Grande Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso. Could it be the start of your coffee love story? Let us know.
