In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the oat milk drinks available at Starbucks and explore the ingredients, and taste of each one.

20 Starbucks Oat Milk Drinks (Best Orders to Try)
To make things easier, we have organized this list by type of drink. We will start with cold drinks, then move onto frappuccinos and finally we will talk about hot drinks. Also, the estimated calories listed for each drink and the quantity of espresso and other ingredients are all based on the grande drink size.
1. Iced Brown Sugar Oat Milk Shaken Espresso
Have you tried any of the shaken espresso drinks? They are perfect when you are looking for a serious caffeine boost. The grande drink has 3 shots of espresso!
If you are concerned about the taste of espresso being too overpowering, do not worry. Starbucks uses blonde espresso for this drink which is just a lighter version of espresso. The Iced Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso is made with oat milk, brown sugar syrup, cinnamon powder and blonde espresso.
It is a very refreshing drink with just the right level of sweetness. A great way to get a delicious caffeine kick.

2. Iced Blonde Vanilla Latte with Oat Milk
If you like a classic iced latte, why not try the iced blonde vanilla latte with oat milk? This drink is just like a regular iced latte but with added vanilla syrup. Also, Starbucks uses blonde espresso for this drink making the espresso taste more subtle.
Personally, I think this drink is on the sweeter side. I like my drinks to have a stronger espresso taste. If you are like me, I recommend ordering this drink with only 2 pumps of vanilla syrup.

3. Iced Flat White with Oat Milk
If you like a stronger espresso taste in your drink, definitely try this one. The Starbuck iced flat white is made with 3 shots of ristretto instead of regular espresso. A ristretto is just a more concentrated form of espresso. It has a more intense taste but actually a lower caffeine content.
Get this drink if you are trying to enjoy a drink with a strong espresso taste without consuming crazy amounts of caffeine.
This iced flat white is a pretty simple but delicious drink. It has only two ingredients: ristretto and oat milk. No added sugar or syrups. Thus, its calorie content is relatively low compared to other drinks in this list.

Another shaken espresso recommendation. This time with a touch of vanilla to create a coffee drink that almost tastes like dessert.
Just like the other Starbucks shaken espresso drinks, the grande version of this drink contains 3 shots of blonde espresso for maximum caffeine content.
The Iced Toasted Vanilla Shaken Espresso is made with oat milk, vanilla syrup and blonde espresso.
I would say this espresso drink is subtly sweet thanks to vanilla syrup. However, its calorie content is pretty low considering how delicious it tastes.

7. Iced Caramel Macchiato with oat milk
The caramel macchiato must be one of the most popular drinks at Starbucks. So why not try the iced version?
If you are wondering how an iced macchiato is different from an iced latte, it is mostly about the layering process. When making the iced macchiato, the barista pours the milk first and then the espresso shots creating that marbled effect.

8. Iced Cafe Mocha
A classic for all chocolate lovers. The combination of the intense espresso flavor with the bittersweet mocha sauce makes for a really rich and delicious drink.
This drink is served with whipped cream on top resulting in a treat that will satisfy a sweet tooth. This is not the healthiest of drinks as it has a pretty high calorie content. However, there is nothing wrong with having it every once in a while. Or you can order it without the whipped cream if you are trying to keep the calorie count down.

9. Java Chip Frappuccino with Oat Milk
For all the frappuccino fans, Starbucks lets you customize your frappuccino drink to use oat milk instead of whole milk. The java chip frappuccino is one of my personal favorites when I want to indulge and have a dessert drink.
This frappuccino drink is made with frappuccino roast, mocha sauce, frappuccino chips and topped with mocha drizzle and whipped cream. Sounds delicious? Give it a try. Some people think that oat milk may change the drink’s flavor but with so many ingredients in this drink, you cannot really tell the difference.

11. Espresso Frappuccino with oat milk
Most frappuccinos have a relatively low caffeine content. I love a good frappuccino every once in a while when I’m craving dessert. But, it doesn’t really give me that caffeine kick.
However, the espresso frappuccino is the exception. This is the only frappuccino that contains a shot of espresso on top of the frappuccino roast resulting in a higher caffeine content.
Besides that, the espresso frappuccino is a pretty simple drink. It is more like a classic cafe frappe. Unlike other frappuccino drinks that use multiple ingredients, the espresso frappuccino only has coffee, milk and ice.

FAQ:
Does coffee taste good with oat milk?
Many people find that coffee tastes good with oat milk. Oat milk has a creamy texture and a slightly sweet, nutty flavor that can complement the taste of coffee. Some people also find that oat milk steams and froths well, making it a good option for lattes and cappuccinos. However, like all alternative milks, taste preferences may vary and some people may find that oat milk does not suit their taste as well as other options such as dairy milk or soy milk. It’s best to try it yourself and see if you like the taste or not.
What oat milk does Starbucks use?
Starbucks uses a proprietary oat milk blend provided by a third party supplier called Oatly. Oatly is a popular brand of oat milk that has gained a reputation for its creamy texture and taste. This blend is used in all of Starbucks locations in North America and Europe.
Oatly oat milk is made from oats, water, and a small amount of rapeseed oil and is known for its natural sweetness and a creamy texture, that makes it suitable for making lattes, cappuccinos and other coffee drinks.
What’s the difference between the Oatly Barista Edition and regular oat drinks?
The Oatly Barista Edition is a specialized version of Oatly’s regular oat milk that is specifically formulated for use in coffee drinks. It is designed to steam and froth well, creating a creamy texture and microfoam similar to that of dairy milk. This makes it ideal for use in lattes, cappuccinos, and other coffee drinks that require a thick, velvety milk foam.
Regular Oatly oat milk is a plant-based milk alternative made from oats, water, and a small amount of rapeseed oil. It can be used as a general-purpose milk alternative for drinking, cooking, and baking. While it can be used in coffee drinks, it may not produce the same level of foam and texture as the Barista Edition.
In short, the Barista Edition is specifically formulated for use in coffee drinks and steams and froths better than regular oat milk, while the regular oat milk can be used in a variety of ways and doesn’t have the same level of foam and texture as the Barista Edition.
Does Starbucks Oat Milk have sugar?
Starbucks oat milk drinks, made with Oatly’s Barista Edition oat milk, do not have added sugar. However, Oatly’s Barista Edition oat milk contains natural sugars that come from oats which are used to make the milk. The natural sweetness from oats is one of the reasons why Oatly’s Barista Edition oat milk is a good alternative to dairy milk in coffee drinks. The exact amount of natural sugar in the oat milk used in Starbucks drinks may vary depending on the supplier and the recipe.
It’s important to note that some Starbucks oat milk drinks, such as flavored lattes, may contain added syrups or other sweeteners. So, it’s best to check the nutritional information or ask your barista for more information on the specific drink you are interested in.
