It's normal to boost your morning with a coffee loaded with caffeine from Starbucks. Now it's on a health kick and wants to help you count your macros.
The company says starting Sept. 29, it will add protein cold foams and protein lattes to its menu. The cold foam, which customers can order to top coffee, tea or Starbucks Refreshers, adds about 15 grams of protein to a grande drink. The lattes, made with "protein-boosted milk," contain 27 to 36 grams of protein, according to Starbucks.

Alongside the cold foam toppings will be a new line of lattes, made with milk that is blended with protein powder.
Customers will also be able to request 2% milk blended with protein powder in other milk-based drinks including regular lattes, iced shaken espresso, and coconut milk Refreshers.
The new menu items come as the company works to reignite sales after a revenue slowdown last year. Under CEO Brian Niccol, Starbucks has rolled out a "Back to Starbucks" plan to win back customers.
Niccol is cutting 30% of the menu but also adding new foods and drinks, while tweaking its current offerings. Starbucks said it has started to test baking some pastries in stores, rather than being shipped and warmed up. The first test is a new buttery croissant and a double chocolate cookie.
