What is the Starbucks Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso?

Non-dairy friends, rejoice! Starbucks now has oatmilk! The chain is using it in the new Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso. This drink takes shots of espresso – Starbucks Blonde espresso, specifically – and shakes it up with brown sugar and cinnamon. Baristas top it off with oatmilk and you’re good to go!

(Editor’s Note: We also reviewed Starbuck’s Iced Chocolate Almondmilk Shaken Espress.)

How is it?

On first sip, I noted a strong espresso taste with a tiny hint of sweet – almost like a burnt sugar. I definitely got more of a cinnamon flavor coming through over the brown sugar, especially in the aftertaste. Side note: I’m interested in trying the Brown Sugar Syrup used in this drink in a latte or cappuccino, to really see what that tastes like on its own, too!

I described the shaken espresso to a co-worker as being rather mellow, since it didn’t taste like a sugar bomb. It’s smooth with an oat-y foam on top from the oatmilk. Unless you’re used to a lot of espresso at once, I’d recommend sipping this one slowly to really enjoy the flavor.

The oatmilk paired with the syrup flavor and cinnamon very well in my opinion, and I’m wondering if it will do the same with other combinations. Now off to conduct that research!

Anything else you need to know?

This drink is not for the caffeine faint of heart. A grande packs a punch of 255 milligrams, and let me tell you, I felt it the entire day (I had mine first thing in the morning). If that’s too much for you, I’d advise lowering the total number of espresso shots, or simply sizing down. A tall has two shots, a grande has three, and a venti has four.

I also thought the price was a little steep for this drink – one my usuals at Starbucks is a venti iced latte with various syrups, and it costs roughly the same even though it’s one size up. The new oatmilk is likely driving the price up on this one.

Conclusion:

While this isn’t my most favorite Starbucks drink, I enjoyed it enough to add it into my regular rotation, especially as the weather gets warmer (I’m in the Midwest and we’re patiently – or not so patiently! – waiting for spring!)

The new menu arrives in stores nationwide today.

Now that March is here, we're one step closer to spring blooms, longer days and warmer temps. Starbucks is celebrating the festivities early with the debut of its spring menu, which is available nationwide today. The brand's most exciting spring news is the announcement of a new beverage: the Iced Toasted Vanilla Oatmilk Shaken Espresso (try saying that five times fast).

Starbucks' Iced Toasted Vanilla Oatmilk Shaken Espresso joins the other two iced shaken espresso flavors—Brown Sugar Oatmilk and Chocolate Almondmilk—as part of Starbucks' permanent menu. Let's see how this beverage stacks up nutritionally.

A grande size of the brand-new Iced Toasted Vanilla Oatmilk Shaken Espresso has 140 calories (40 of which are from fat), 4.5 grams of fat (none of which are saturated), 23 grams of carbohydrates (11 of which are from sugar), 1 gram of fiber, and 2 grams of protein. This beverage also contains 255 milligrams of caffeine, which is a little over half of the daily recommended limit for adults.

The ingredients in the Iced Toasted Vanilla Oatmilk Shaken Espresso are ice, oat milk, brewed espresso and toasted vanilla flavored syrup. The oat milk is made of water, oats, canola oil, dipotassium phosphate, calcium carbonate, tricalcium phosphate, sea salt, dicalcium phosphate, riboflavin, vitamin A, vitamin D2 and vitamin B12. The syrup is made of sugar, water, natural flavors, potassium sorbate and citric acid.

The new Iced Toasted Vanilla Oatmilk Shaken Espresso is lower in saturated fat, sugar and calories than many of the other espresso-based beverages on Starbucks' menu and may be a nice substitute for your typical order. If you were really looking to minimize sugar intake here, you could ask for half the amount of syrup to keep the drink under 6 grams, as the oat milk doesn't have any sugar in its ingredients list. And while some people don't respond well to certain additives and natural flavors, this new menu item could be a fun swap for your favorite hot latte or cappuccino as the weather starts to warm up for the season.

"This drink could be a nice morning treat that is lower in added sugar than other drinks of Starbucks' menu," says Jessica Ball, M.S. RD, associate nutrition editor at EatingWell, "But this drink still contains almost half of the recommended daily maximum of added sugar so it might not be the best everyday drink. To make your daily coffee more interesting, try adding spices like cinnamon or pumpkin spice to the grounds for a sugar-free flavor boost."

Starbucks also announced that its new Baya Energy drinks will become available in select stores nationwide, as well as returning favorites of its whole-bean coffee bags: Starbucks Anniversary and Odyssey Blends. The brand will also feature a new whole-bean coffee, Starbucks Reserve Brazil Fazenda Catanduva, and will bring back the popular Starbucks Reserve Papua New Guinea Moanti whole-bean coffee bags for a limited time in select stores across the country.

There's even news for those who prefer to get their Starbucks beans or grounds from the supermarket. The brand announced today that there will be a slew of new products hitting grocery store shelves this spring. The festive Honey & Madagascar Vanilla Flavored Coffee and Starbucks Spring Day Blend are both arriving in time for the season's arrival. Shoppers can also be on the lookout for new canned drinks like the Nitro Cold Brew Splash of Sweet Cream and Tripleshot Zero Sugar Milk Chocolate if they prefer their caffeine fix on-the-go.
