Starbucks nutrition beyond the calories

Sugar, protein, carbs and caffeine — what the numbers mean and how to read them without a nutrition degree.

Two drinks at the same calorie count can do completely different things to your day. One might carry twelve grams of protein and no added sugar; the other might be almost entirely sugar with no protein at all.

These guides look past the single headline number: where the sugar hides, why milk choice decides the protein, and why caffeine tracks nothing else on the menu.

25–36g Common daily added-sugar guidance
~12g Protein in a Grande dairy latte
~205mg Caffeine in a Grande cold brew
~2g Protein once you switch to almondmilk
