Accepted Answer

The Iced Protein Matcha contains 75mg of caffeine per Grande (16 fl oz) serving.

The caffeine content may vary slightly depending on the size you choose.

Question 3

How much sugar does the Iced Protein Matcha have?

Accepted Answer

The Iced Protein Matcha contains 27g of sugar in a Grande serving. This exceeds the American Heart Association's recommended daily sugar intake limit (25g for women, 36g for men). To reduce sugar, you can request fewer syrup pumps, choose sugar-free vanilla syrup, or opt for a smaller size.

Question 4

Is the Iced Protein Matcha good for weight loss?

Accepted Answer

At 300 calories and 27g of sugar, the Iced Protein Matcha may not be ideal for daily consumption if you're trying to lose weight. However, you can make it more diet-friendly by ordering it with nonfat milk (saves ~60 calories), requesting fewer syrup pumps (saves ~20 calories per pump), and skipping whipped cream if applicable (saves ~70 calories). The 36g of protein can help keep you feeling full longer, which may help with appetite control throughout the day.

Question 5

How much protein is in the Iced Protein Matcha?

Accepted Answer

The Iced Protein Matcha provides an impressive 36g of protein per serving, making it one of Starbucks' high-protein beverage options. This amount of protein (about 72% of the daily recommended intake for an average adult) makes it excellent for post-workout recovery, as a protein-rich breakfast alternative, or as a midday energy boost. The protein helps support muscle maintenance and repair, and can keep you feeling satisfied for 2-3 hours after consumption.
