Starbucks new protein menu launches — but with health warnings from customers
Starbucks launches new drinks with up to 36g of protein
- Starbucks has launched a new range of Protein Lattes and Cold Foam Drinks, offering up to 36 grams of protein per medium-sized beverage.
- Customers can customise their existing iced or hot coffees by adding Starbucks Protein Cold Foam or Protein-Boosted Milk, both made with whey protein powder and 2 per cent milk.
- Adding the Protein Cold Foam to a medium coffee gives it 15 grams of protein, while the Starbucks Protein-Boosted would give it an extra 12 to 16 grams of protein.
- The company also introduced four new protein latte options, including Sugar-Free Vanilla Protein Matcha and Vanilla Protein Latte.
- Concerns have been raised by customers regarding the ingredients, particularly the use of whey protein and 2 per cent milk, which means the drinks are not suitable for those with dairy-free diets.
