Tips when ordering to help reduce calories:

• Reduce the amount of syrup: A single pump of the standard pumpkin sauce is roughly 25 calories, so be specific when ordering the syrup pumps.  
• Use sugar-free syrup: Swap some or all of the classic syrup for sugar-free versions. 
• Ask for NO whipped cream: Skip the whipped cream, the cream adds significant calories and fat. 
• Ask for powder flavor on top: Ask for a calorie-free cinnamon powder or pumpkin spice – which gives it flavor but doesn’t add any calories or fat.
• Use a lower calorie milk base: Use almond milk, a protein shake, skim milk, or their protein boosted milk.

Frequently Asked Questions regarding Starbucks new protein coffee drinks from their website:

What kind of protein is used?

Starbucks uses whey protein isolate—a dairy-based protein known for its complete amino acid profile. It’s unflavored and is not made with gluten-containing ingredients and has no added sugar.

How is the protein added to the milk?

They mix whey protein powder into 2% milk to create Protein-boosted Milk.

Does the coffee taste like protein or have a protein aftertaste?

Not at all—whey protein blends smoothly into hot and iced drinks for a creamy, satisfying feel.

How much protein is in each drink?

It depends on the drink:

• Cold foam: 15-18 grams depending on the flavor.
• Cold foam beverages: 19-26 grams of protein depending on the drink.
• Protein lattes and drinks with Protein-boosted Milk: 27-36g.
• One scoop of protein: about 6g of protein, 25 calories, 0g sugar.

Can I add the protein to any drink?

Protein powder is not available as a modifier—but you can add your favorite flavored protein cold foam to almost any drink, hot or iced. You can also swap in Protein-boosted Milk to any hot or iced dairy-based beverage. Protein-boosted Milk isn’t available as a creamer and you can’t order it on its own.
