Starbucks has just announced that it will now offer a plant-based protein blended cold brew beverage on its menu at stores nationwide.
Offered in Almond and Cacao flavors, the options will only be available while supplies last. "This beverage is inspired by our customers’ love for Starbucks Cold Brew and a growing interest in plant-based proteins," the company wrote in a news release.
The non-dairy beverages are a blend of Starbucks cold brew and plant-based proteins, Banana Date Fruit Blend, and ice, with the almond blended flavor also including almond butter and almond milk, and the cacao blend mixing coconut milk and cacao powder.
Additionally, customers will have the freedom to customize the new beverage blend. Instead of enjoying the almond beverage with its Banana Date Fruit Blend, customers can request a whole banana in its place, for example, or even add an extra packet of protein, a shot of espresso and more.
Pricing for a 16-ounce beverage is listed at $5.95 USD and it boasts a calorie content of 270 or less.
Last month, Starbucks announced that it will be removing plastic straws from all stores by 2020.
