For all of you Starbucks junkies...new menu (PROTEIN)

Don't think its been said yet, but Starbucks is rolling out with 5 new healthy breakfast items.   Some of it I wouldnt touch still, but they are actually coming out with a Power Protein Plate.  I dont consider it POWER and I'm sure most pouches could never handle more than half, but glad to see things are changing.

 

Starbucks Perfect Oatmeal – Now customers can start their day with a piping-hot bowl of oatmeal, packaged for easy transport. Each order can be customized with three different toppings; a portioned 50-calorie pack of brown sugar, 100-calorie pack of dried fruit and 100-calorie pack of a nut medley, and contains 140 to 390 calories depending on topping selections, up to 7 grams of fiber and 1.5 servings of whole grains – half of your daily needs. 
  Power Protein Plate – A convenient option with simple ingredients, the Power Protein Plate is a hearty combination of a cage-free hard-boiled egg, 100% whole wheat bagel, peanut butter, cheese, and fresh fruit. At 330 calories, this wholesome breakfast or snack has 16 grams of protein (about one-third of your daily needs) and 5 grams of fiber.
Berry Stella – This first of the six healthier additions was introduced nationally on July 15, 2008. For those who eat on the run, the Berry Stella is a 100% whole grain breakfast pastry that delivers a hearty blend of fiber, whole grains, real fruit and more than 200 mg of Omega-3s at 280 calories.
  Apple Bran Muffin – Not your ordinary bran muffin, StarbucksÒ new Apple Bran Muffin is moist, delicious and full of ingredients to start your morning off right. Made with whole wheat flour, oats and wheat bran, and baked with real apples, tart cherries and honey, this muffin is a perfect option with 7 grams of fiber, 7 grams of protein, Omega-3s and 330 calories.
  Chewy Fruit & Nut Bar – Full of whole, nourishing ingredients including oats, dried fruit, nuts, seeds, and honey, the Chewy Fruit & Nut Bar contains heart-healthy Omega-3s and 250 calories, 4 grams of fiber and 5 grams of protein. 
  Multigrain Roll with Spreads – Find a simple, delicious breakfast option in a multigrain roll served with a choice of savory almond butter and strawberry preserves.  Made with seven different seeds and grains, and sweetened with honey, the roll boasts 7 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber, at 280 calories.  The almond butter spread is pre-portioned to a 100-calorie pack, while the strawberry preserves contains 40 calories.   Overall Commitment to Healthier Options

OMG! The Berry Stella is to die for! I think a smidge high In calories for the size of it but if you watch calories the rest of the day, ITs sooooo worth it :) It sucks though because by time I wait my 30 mintues to drink my Protein added Sf carmel Frapp. light no whip/ no drizzle, the Ice has melted. I would have to make 2 trips. LOL

Just wondering about the drink that you are talking about.
Is that how you order it? Does it come with protien in it. I need to have a Starbucks dictionary to learn to order the suger free options.

I'd certainly skip the bagel, and probably spread the peanut butter on the fruit instead. Not great, but not terrible if you need a meal and Starbucks is the easiest way to get it.
