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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
