Help with Starbucks?!

My surgeon had a post on hus Facebook that said alot of Starbucks have Protein Powder that they will add to your drink. They don't advertise it so just ask.

Thanks so much! I will def ask! I knew I went to the right folks for advice!

I order a tall veranda blend with room for cream, put skim in it and two splenda and I'm good to go.

Something about asking for a tall blonde with room for cream is very satisfying... Just saying.

Has anyone done this? And did you know what type of Protein it was?

I just realized the Protein powder would be from the smoothies they make at some locations. It's whey protein: http://www.starbucks...control=product

I did also see they had a link for drinks under 200 calories: http://www.starbucks.com/menu/nutrition/20-under-200

I get a coffee almost everyday: a small skim cappuccino! Simple and you can get it from Starbucks

Mark, that's what I got yesterday! A tall blonde with skim milk and sugar free vanilla Syrup and 2 splendas....was very satisfying, and cheaper than the espresso drinks. Sounds sort of like a foreign language, doesn't it?!

I get a skinny latte almost everyday, I think they are replacing some of my old sweet cravings.

Yes they have Protein powder. They put it in their vivanos with starwberry, banana etc. it's still 300 calories for the smoothies,,it's about 20 gms of Protein. Problem is, the fruits add a lot of sugar.

Not all Starbucks make them (the airport ones don't for example) but most stand-alone stores do.

You can add Protein Powder to any drink, although it really only mixes well with frapaccinos (sp). A grande skinny cinnamon dolce frapp with 2 scoops of Protein is delish!

This isn't a drink but what a great option at Starbucks!

Yumm.... Didn't know they had those food options:)

[gamergirl 4,609]

Interestingly those "protein" boxes? Check out the carbs in that. Quite high. I've pored over the Starbucks menu heavily because often, when in traveling that's the only reliable meal source. But I'd accepted even way before the surgery, that I could never eat there.

I used to have an iced grande soy latte, but on low carb, that's not practical. So I switched to an Americano with half the Water and a tiny bit of half n half. Full of taste and flavor, no calories.

It's esay enough to toss the crackers. This is a great on the go option in my book.

I may have to try it. Some of the airports I go through, the options are beer, wings, or hamburgers.
