About this item
A single 1 bottle (330 ml) portion of Starbucks's Protein Drink delivers approximately 168 calories, placing it in the snack-size range for items typically found on the Starbucks menu. Nutrition information on this page is sourced from the USDA Branded Foods dataset, which catalogs label data submitted by manufacturers for the US market. Use it as a starting point for tracking macros, comparing menu options, or building meals around your daily calorie target — and confirm at the restaurant if your portion or preparation differs.
Per serving, Protein Drink contains 3.6 g of total fat (19% of calories), 2.3 g of saturated fat, 13.5 g of total carbohydrates, 12.5 g of sugars, and 20.1 g of protein (48% of calories). That macronutrient mix is relatively protein-forward compared to a typical fast-food entrée. For a 2,000 calorie reference diet, this single item supplies roughly 8% of the daily energy budget — worth noting if you plan to combine it with sides, drinks, or a dessert from the rest of the Starbucks menu.
On the micronutrient side, the same serving carries 168 mg of sodium (7% of the FDA 2,300 mg daily limit). Sodium is the number most diners under-estimate at quick-service restaurants — many entrées clear a third of the daily cap before any side or sauce is added. If you are watching blood pressure or following a DASH-style eating pattern, balance Protein Drink with low-sodium choices for the rest of the day, drink water, and consider skipping salted sides.
Ingredient analysis flagged the following common allergens in this product: Milk. Cross-contact with additional allergens — including peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, and shellfish — is possible in any restaurant kitchen even when those ingredients are not listed in the recipe. If you have a serious allergy, ask the location for their official allergen guide before ordering and let staff know about your sensitivity.
Ingredients (as published with the USDA submission): 1.2% fat milk (79%), Starbucks Arabica coffee coffee extract) (20.9%) milk protein powder (3.8%), stabilisers (gellan gum carrageenan), acidity regulator (sodium citrate, potassium carbonate Sweetener (acesulfame).
Protein Drink sits within the broader Starbucks menu alongside other items in the beverages and beverages preparations category. If you are tracking calories on a cutting phase, consider pairing it with a zero-calorie beverage and a side that prioritizes protein or fiber over refined carbs. If you are bulking or fueling a hard training day, the 168 calories and 20g protein per serving can be combined with a second item to round the meal out. Either way, the numbers above are per serving as listed — doubling up on portions, sauces, or extras will scale the calories and macros proportionally.
