Being vegan or opting for a dairy-free lifestyle is no longer a food trend—it’s a way of life. And that means you can walk into (almost) any coffee shop and order an almond milk latte without looking like you have 10 heads. Now, Starbucks wants to take your "vegan-friendly" cold brew and turn it into high-protein java with their new Protein Blended Cold Brew drinks. Think of them as the "healthier", plant-based version of their Frappuccinos.
The latest additions to Starbucks cold beverages are the Almond Protein Blended Cold Brew and the Cacao Protein Blended Cold Brew—both of which are available in a Grande (16-ounce serving).
Instead of loading them up with syrups, these protein-blended cold brew drinks are sweetened with a proprietary banana date fruit blend, which features coconut sugar, banana puree, and apple and date juice. And for a boost of hunger-curbing protein, Starbucks adds in a plant-based powder with pea protein and brown rice. Here’s how the two drinks compare nutritionally:

When you’re craving a coffee ice cream but don’t want to put a complete a kibosh on your healthy eating efforts, consider this frosty almond beverage. Made with cold brew, almond milk, almond butter, it’ll fill you up fast and satisfy your sweet tooth. Since this drink is still high in sugar, we recommend splitting it with a friend or enjoying just half.Starbucks Cacao Protein Blended Cold Brew
