Starbucks Skinny Vanilla Latte Has Protein? Who Knew?



Recommended Posts

Here's something that will blow your minds.....SB will ADD a Protein scoop (or 2) to your coffee if you request it!!!! I get it in all my drinks....stats are:

A single shot will add 30 calories, about 6 grams of Protein, 1 gram of soluble Fiber, and zero sugar or artificial sweeteners.

So drink up, all, and add even more protein!!!!

Yes, I can't wait until I can have Starbucks again......I was hooked on the Caramel Frapp Light, Decaf, with 2 scoops of Protein prior to surgery. I'm just over a week post op and looking forward to having this treat maybe in a couple of weeks.

I swear you are all talking a foreign language. So, how do I order a Decaf coffee with vanilla flavoring, no dairy and added Protein? I can drink a large McD decaf in about an hour, so I'd want a large. The extra protein sounds great!! :)

Sleevemaster, I think you would say "I'd like a grande skinny vanilla latte, Decaf, no diary, with an extra scoop of Protein." They may have dairy alternatives, but doesn't the extra Protein come from dairy???

Other Starbucks fans who are more familiar with their menu, please chime in .

Thanks.

I normally drink a grande skinny vanilla latte breve, it's a little lower on the carb count I think but higher on calories - just depends on what you want to cut down on. I try to keep it a weekend only thing but now that it's getting cold, who knows!

9g of protein.....to go along with 13g of sugar. Not bad as a treat I guess.....but hopefully you aren't making this a regular part of your diet.

As Doggz109 points out, there are 13 (well according to Starbucks Customer Service at 1-800-23LATTE there are 14) grams of carbs in a tall Skinny Vanilla Latte and 100 calories and 9 grams of Protein.

So yeah, don't go crazy, but enjoy if you want. I have one or two a week and I only finish half so I am going to start ordering the "short" instead of the tall, as emily_0192010 mentioned.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
