The drink delivers all the bold espresso flavour you would expect, just with that added protein punch to keep you going.\n\n### LATEST FOOD\n\n\n\n\n * M&S combines two of its most popular treats for an indulgent first-of-its-kind chocolate bar\n * Greggs adds new sausage roll flavour to its permanent menu - available this week\n * Wahaca unveils indulgent new menu featuring fan-favourite chocolate brand - but you must be quick\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nGroup manager of beverage development at Starbucks EMEA, Sam Henderson, said: \"At Starbucks, we are proud leaders in beverage innovation. From pioneering Cold Brew to reimagining iced coffee with our Oat Shaken Espressos and introducing Cold Foam, we're constantly evolving how customers experience coffee.\n\n\"Bringing a great-tasting protein option to our UK menus was a natural next step for the brand, as we continue to develop modern, relevant products that tap into growing consumer demand and reinforce Starbucks position as a pioneer in coffee innovation and quality.\"\n\nThe launch follows the topping's standout success in America.
