Author: Jenn Trepeck December 12, 2025 Duration: 13:32

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about Starbucks Protein Drinks and whether they're really worth the hype. Have you seen these new protein-packed options popping up on the menu? After encountering difficulty accessing ingredient information on Starbucks' website and app, Jenn took a hands-on investigative approach, visiting a local Starbucks location to seek out the composition of these protein-enhanced beverages. What she uncovered reveals essential distinctions between how customers might expect these drinks to work versus how they're actually prepared. Jenn also addresses the broader question of whether adding protein to coffee drinks is a necessary trend or simply effective marketing.
