What's in a Caramel Protein Latte
Starbucks makes it with espresso, steamed Protein-boosted Milk and caramel syrup. The recipe uses 1 / 1 / 2 / 2 shots and 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 pumps of caramel syrup for Short / Tall / Grande / Venti, per Starbucks recipe data. Starbucks lists whey protein isolate as the added protein.
Milk and customization swaps
Swaps are shown as the direction of change against the standard recipe. Starbucks' product pages don't publish per-drink numbers for each swap, so check the Starbucks app or our calculator for an estimate of your exact order.
| Swap | Effect on calories | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Fewer caramel pumps | Fewer calories and sugar | Protein stays the same |
| Sugar-free vanilla instead | Fewer calories and sugar | Starbucks sells a Sugar-Free Vanilla Protein Latte |
| Regular 2% or another milk | Not calculated | Starbucks doesn't publish the milk portion, so the calculator keeps the listed calories |
Starbucks doesn't publish the milk portion for this drink, so the calculator keeps the listed calories if you change the milk.
Syrup pumps and calories
Caramel syrup: 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 pumps (Short / Tall / Grande / Venti), per Starbucks recipe data. Starbucks doesn't list nutrition per pump on its product pages. The figure most sites quote is about 20 calories and 5 g of sugar for one pump of a standard syrup such as Classic or Vanilla. Treat that as an estimate (unverified), not a Starbucks number. Sugar-free vanilla syrup adds almost no calories. For pump counts across the menu, see our Starbucks syrup calories per pump guide.
Lower-calorie ways to order
- Ask for 2 pumps of caramel in a Grande instead of 4.
- Ask for sugar-free vanilla instead.
- Order a Tall: 250 calories and 23 g protein.
- Compare other options in our high-protein Starbucks drinks guide.
