Starbucks has always been known across the globe for its seasonal offerings. This fall they released a new drink to join along with the pumpkin spice latte and cold brew called the Apple Crisp Macchiato. This delicious drink hides a great deal of sugar in its syrup and topping. A grande is 300 calories and 45 grams of sugar alone! That is more than you entire recommended daily intake.

Give this video a watch to see what I think of this new beverage and my recommendations for when you decide to take the plunge. These recommendations can be applied to any Starbucks beverage as they go heavy on the sugar (and sodium surprisingly) in many of their drinks. I hope this video encourages you to look up the nutrition in your go to coffeehouse drinks and make some healthy changes.

Working as a kidney doctor, I found that my patients were often unaware of just how important diet and lifestyle were and how often they felt unsupported by generic advice to “eat healthy”.

The home cook in me hated hearing this, so I set out to find a better way. I began to combine my medical training and love of food, making videos of simple recipes that were based on science and packed with flavor. Instead of just saying “eat healthy” to my patients, I could give them the resources they needed to make a real difference in their health.

Kidney doctor, passionate home cook, and YouTube sensation Dr Blake Shusterman empowers people to proactively manage their health by stepping into the kitchen. The author of several cookbooks with over 100,000 YouTube subscribers, The Cooking Doc® believes anyone, at any age can transform their health with small changes that make a big difference. Based on science and packed with flavor, Dr. Blake’s simple recipes have inspired home cooks everywhere to change their diet, retrain their taste buds, and transform their health.
