Starbucks worst PROMO

  • Starbucks has a menu that consists of over 100 drinks, desserts, and pre-packaged meals.
  • Some of these items may be more damaging to your health than others, based on the calorie, fat, sugar, and protein content.
  • INSIDER used a ranking system to determine the 50 items that may be more damaging to your health — and you maybe be surprised at what you see.

 

There is nothing wrong with sipping on a salted caramel frappuccino with extra whipped cream or treating yourself to a double chocolate chunk brownie for Starbucks. After all, aside from providing necessary nutrients, the main purpose of food is to enjoy it.

But as diets like keto and Weight Watchers become increasingly popular, people are becoming more cognizant of what they eat. And your daily Starbucks order could be doing more damage to your diet than you may think.

Since the nutritional value of a food item can't be based on one number, INSIDER examined the calories, fat, sugar, and protein of every item on Starbucks's extensive menu using the nutrition section on the website. (Though, full disclosure, we skipped anything on the secret Starbucks menu. You'll have to calculate that on your own.) Each menu item was assigned specific point values based on calories, fat, sugar, and protein content. Those with the highest number of points were deemed the “worst.”

It should be noted, however, that there is no such thing as good food or bad food; better food or worse food.

Additionally, all drink information was determined based on a grande order with 2% milk unless otherwise specified.

Keep scrolling to see the 50 Starbucks menu items that may be most damaging to your health, if consumed on a daily basis.

50. Macadamia oat cookie

This vegan cookie is high in fat, but that likely comes from the protein-packed nuts that fill the cookie.



49. Chocolate hazelnut croissant

Though this pastry has more calories, fat, and sugar than the plain chocolate counterpart, it has more protein which gives it a slight health edge.



48. Chocolate croissant

If you crave a croissant in the morning, it might be best to order the ham and cheese croissant, which has less calories, fat, and sugar, and almost three times the protein for a more filling meal.
