Meet The
Macro Barista
Hey! I'm
Alex Moe
If you’ve checked out the main page, you might know me as themacrobarista on social media. A few years ago, while working at Starbucks, I started coming up with healthy drink recipes. Turns out, more people needed them than I thought! My social media took off, and I shared tons of recipes. Eventually, I decided to leave Starbucks and dive headfirst into making as many recipes and helpful content as possible to help you live a healthier lifestyle!
Let me share a bit about myself. Originally from Seattle, WA, I now call Austin home, along with my trusty sidekick, Bain, my dog. I spent five years in the USAF as a vehicle operator until medical issues forced my separation in 2016 due to severe hip impingements.
Post-military life hit me hard; I battled depression and saw the numbers on the scale climb. Surprisingly, one major contributor was my daily coffee ritual—a Venti caramel latte with whole milk and an extra drizzle of caramel. That seemingly harmless beverage packed over 500 calories! Realizing this, I knew I had to get my fitness back on track, and that meant cutting out my beloved coffee concoction. But I wasn’t ready to give it up entirely.
Enter the lightbulb moment: why not create a version of my favorite drink with fewer calories? And just like that, my first recipe was born, and the journey unfolded from there.
This experience taught me that resilience and creativity can help us navigate challenges, even something as seemingly simple as a high-calorie coffee. I’m passionate about coffee, adore dogs, and thrive on staying active. I’m confident you’ll find valuable information here, and I’d love for you to connect with me through the platforms below!
