My Starbucks protein drink recommendations

Part 2 of reviewing @Starbucks new protein drinks.

After trying majority of these new offerings, I am here to give recommendations for coffee not dessert.

➡️ Iced Sugar-Free Vanilla Protein Latte – 200 calories 29g protein (WOW) and still comes through on taste like you’re straying away from your normal coffee order.

➡️ Sugar-Free Vanilla Protein Latte (hot version) – 230 calories 27g protein.

If you want to go a completely different direction, I also suggest:

➡️ Iced Sugar-Free Vanilla Protein Matcha – 230 calories 27g protein. Perfect if you’re looking to try something out of your traditional coffee.

➡️ Sugar-Free Vanilla Protein Matcha (hot version) – 240 calories 28g protein.

These all pass The Protein Test and offer a lot of flavor. I personally would pair these with one of Starbucks cheese sticks to get an additional 7g of protein to start my day – and I would add a piece of fruit from home, like an apple, to get some fiber as well.

Do these taste like an ultra-sweet coffee treat like a frappuccino? No. Of course not. These are macro-friendly options to traditional coffee orders, not dessert. The cold foam options are more creamy and indulgent but are higher in calories and should be considered a treat.
