Some people wonder if Starbucks coconut drinks are healthy. Yes, they are healthy drinks for everyone to consume. These Starbucks drinks contain less sugar compared to soy milk and whole milk.

Starbucks is regularly updating its vegan menu, and lately, it has been using non-dairy alternatives, such as almond, soy, oat, and coconut milk. Starbuck coconut drinks are considered the second healthiest drinks after almond milk. So, what’s on the Starbucks coconut-flavored drinks menu?

Starbucks released its Coconutmilk Latte in January 2022. It is a beverage with steamed coconut milk topped with cascara sugar, so it comes with notes of sweet maple and dark brown sugar.

Quick Fact: Cascara is an excellent addition to cold and hot drinks and has been used for treating gallstones, liver diseases, and cancer.


Coconutmilk Mocha Macchiato

This drink will give you a caffeine jolt and the sweet taste of coconut and chocolate, and since this beverage is a macchiato, it highlights the experience of a layered effect.

The whole thing is topped with whipped cream followed by espresso. Then at the bottom of it, you will have the syrup. However, if you prefer to drink this beverage with all the ingredients mixed, then have it shaken to combine all flavors.


Coconutmilk Vanilla Bean

Belonging to the line of Starbucks Frappuccino, the Coconutmilk Vanilla Bean comes with a blend of ice, vanilla ban powder, and coconut milk. Then it is topped with Starbucks’s signature espresso.

This drink is sometimes called an upside-down latte. It means that milk is at the bottom, and the espresso is on top. You can add the froth from the milk on top of the espresso if you desire.


Caramel Coconut Crème Pie

Another item in the Frappuccino line of Starbucks coconut drinks, the Caramel Coconut Crème Pie is a blend of ice, caramel, honey mal, and white chocolate mocha sauce.

Despite the 25 grams of sugar in the Starbucks Iced Guava Passion, this drink is not overly sweet. The guava flavor certainly comes through, and the ginger-pineapple syrup is not that noticeable.

Coconut Lime Refresher

Another fantastic option when one needs to cool down on a summer’s day is Starbucks Coconut Lime Refresher. It is refreshing, and it contains caffeine that you can barely taste. The taste is slightly sweet, minty, and tar, although it tastes a bit like grass at the beginning. Still, you will enjoy the unique taste of this drink.


Dragon Fruit Frappuccino

The Dragon Fruit Starbucks refresher tastes as uncanny as it sounds. It comes with a deep magenta color and bursts with tropical flavors. The vivacious hue comes from real red-fleshed dragon fruit pieces for a perfect mix of all-natural ingredients.


Piña Colada Frappuccino

If frappes are more your jam, then the Piña Colada Frappuccino is also highly recommended for you. This drink is easy to order. Just ask for mango and pineapple puree and blend them with coconut milk and a cream base.


Berry Vanilla Smoothie

Starbucks berry vanilla smoothie is an offshoot of its vanilla bean crème Frappuccino with vanilla and berries as the main ingredients. This drink is healthy as most of its sugars are from the included fruits. From one serving, you will get one gram of protein, 117 calories, and minerals from banana fruit, such as Vitamin C and Vitamin B6.
