wardcm562 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Any drinks other than black coffee or tea compliant? Passion Tea? Refreshers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 You would need to check the ingredients for sugar, sweeteners, soy, vanilla extract or other nasties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almondjoyless Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I thought you could check Starbucks nutrition info online, but I just found out I was wrong. You could ask to see the ingredient list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lainey Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I remember reading a post where someone's favorite Whole 30 drink at Starbucks is a chai tea with a shot of expresso and dash of cinnamon. You would just have to make sure the barista understands that you want the tea bag ONLY and not a chai latte. I keep meaning to try it, but haven't gotten around to it yet!

kel_be Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Any drinks other than black coffee or tea compliant? Passion Tea? Refreshers? I'm pretty sure the Refreshers are sweetened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emiley Carey Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Passion tea is fine as long as you ask for it unsweetened. It is brewed the same way the black and green teas are--just tea and hot water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardcm562 Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 Awesome! Thanks guys I love passion tea/ lemonade unsweetened SO I will just opt for plain ole unsweetened passion tea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annabel Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Just to warn you, the passion tea can be quite bitter, especially if it's been steeped for too long. (When I worked at Starbucks was steeped for anything from 2 minutes to until the hot water had gone cold.) You can actually ask them to do any of the teas iced for you, so long as you're happy to wait 3 or 4 minutes for your drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlotteZ Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Starbucks nutrition is available on-line. On the main page of Starbucks.com, click on Menu and then choose Nutrition. From there you can choose all beverages and go from there. Very complete information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to Starbucks and Caribou Coffee and neither of them actually have chai tea bags, just the Tazo Chai Tea Latte mix. I was really excited to try this drink!

I've ordered this before and it's really pretty good! If I plan ahead I like to bring some coconut milk to add to it as well. they always look at me funny when I say I want the brewed tea and not the latte, but so far I've haven't had any issues.

malieser Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I got a box of iced passion tea bags that are meant for a 64-ounce pitcher at Target last week. I made it last night and it's delicious! At $3 for 4 64-oz pitchers of tea, it's a cheaper option than buying at Starbucks. Just a heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatiJean Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Hello! These beverages are compliant: Hot: Americano Brewed Coffee Hot tea (about a dozen options for flavor. My favorite is China Green Tips) Espresso, ask them to "save" the shots with a touch of water Cold: Iced tea, unsweetened. Black, Green, and Passion will be ready, other flavors will take a few mins Iced Coffee, unsweetened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 tempted to try the Tazo teas!! Whats the difference between having it as an iced tea and an iced chai tea latte?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Whats the difference between having it as an iced tea and an iced chai tea latte?! Iced chai tea latte at Starbucks has milk or soy milk added. Iced tea could be chai or several other flavors of tea but no milky substance; just cold tea over ice. I believe they add sweetener unless you ask them not to, but they can make these unsweetened. I used to drink the unsweetened iced green tea all the time, but got out of the habit. It was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsPefy13 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Also, some tea lattes (like the Chai latte) at starbucks use a sweetened base and not real tea bags. So even if they don't add extra sweeteners, there is always sugar - same goes for frappuccinos. you'd be surprised how many baristas either don't know this or don't care to point it out to customers that ask for no sugar added.

Jess_ka70 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Are we allowed to drink frappes? Im not a fan of tea or hot coffee. Or are there any cold drinks that doesn't have tea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Are we allowed to drink frappes? Im not a fan of tea or hot coffee. Or are there any cold drinks that doesn't have tea? I don't know of any frappe that would not have dairy and/or sugar, so no. You can have iced americano, iced espresso or unsweetened iced coffee.

WholeBunchOJunk Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I take a small amount of coconut milk with me to my weekly Saturday Starbuck's date with my mother. I get an iced Americano and put my own coconut milk in it. Of course, this only works if you know you will be stopping...spur of the moment stops would be more difficult. The taste is probably slightly "acquired", but it allows me to have something with my mom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drtracyb Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I was desperate one day for a frozen coffee drink at Starbucks. I wasn't on a whole30 and settled on a iced coffee frapucchino. Problem was, I let them put soy milk in, and their soy milk has added sweeener. I had to turn it back in because even off my whole30 I can't handle sweetened foods. They still don't have any milk alternatives other than soy. I did an extensive search for dairy-free sugar-free drinks at starbucks and found very few.

Mariala Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 My favorite W30 order at Starbucks is kind of specific and pretentious, but here we go: Iced tea Half passion half black no water unsweetened That gets me a nice strong yummy iced tea with a little caffeine.

MonicaM325 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I have made "frappes" at home with iced coffee , coconut milk, cacao powder and ice. However I don't make this a habit because I view it as more of a treat. I switch off between Starbucks iced black coffee or iced coffee with some coconut milk (I bring my own) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
