Best vegan-friendly drink ideas?(self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Kill3rsm0m
I make a soy vanilla bean, add banana, blueberries, strawberry inclusions, oatmeal and the mixed nut medley, 2pumps cinn dolce and java chips. I miss the plant-protein powder 😟

The frap chips aren’t vegan :(
Edit: I put cooked oatmeal in mine

Don’t know why you were downvoted. You’re correct, the chips aren’t vegan (they have milk in them).

Lol it’s rough out there. They made me real sick because I assumed they were vegan. Learned the hard way

I hate how many of our ingredients secretly have dairy in them. I try and tell customers when I can, but when there’s a rush it’s a bit harder to say things like “did you still want the dolce toppings on your soy no whip cinnamon dolce latte? They do contain dairy.”
boxiestcrayon157 points4y ago
If they ask for non dairy milk I usually go with “is this for an allergy?” Because it addresses it quickly and most vegans just say yes or state they’re vegan after that question. I’m blown away by how many people have no idea caramel sauce has milk in it. Caramel IS dairy.

It’s nothing super special, but my new favorite is a coconut milk steamer with vanilla bean powder!

I'm working on making a strawberry soymilk recipe but tbh I usually don't get anything lol.

you could def get that made better (organic) and cheaper probs at a vegan place. i work at a vegan smoothie shop

There aren't any here lol and it's my markout so its free. I make smoothies at home when I can but bills are tight sometimes
AmeSauce822 points4y ago

If I don’t feel like caffeine I get a rooibos tea latte with almond milk, no liquid cane, sub 3 pumps of vanilla & 1 pump of toffee nut. It’s so good & I don’t even like tea, definitely give it a try.

Rooibos?
veganlittlesunflower1 points4y ago
It’s a herbal tea latte, powder steamed in with the milk instead of using tea bags

London Fog lattes made with soy are one of my favorites.
Depends on whether or not you consider honey to be vegan, but my go-to is a grande soy iced chai (sometimes with vanilla syrup, if I'm feeling frisky) with two shots in a venti cup with extra ice. <333
​
I also highly recommend the Cinnamon Almond Milk Macchiato. Without the caramel drizzle, of course. And really, you need to swap out the cinnamon sugar topping for plain cinnamon powder, as the cinnamon sugar topping has butter in it.
​
Blended strawberry lemonade is a nice shake up on a hot day, too!

I’ve been doing a defense tea latte made with soy.
Kill3rsm0m [OP]1 points4y ago
My usual is a blonde soy latte with vanilla and cinnamon dolce. Just looking for something different to try

Almost anything can be vegan if you ask for dairy-free milk and no whipped cream. My favorite drink is probably an iced cafe latte with caramel syrup and almond milk
hologramkitten1 points4y ago
Caramel syrup contains dairy </3
Edit: no it doesn’t but the sauce does. Whoops
KatySheets3 points4y ago
No, the syrup doesn’t contain dairy. The sauce absolutely does.
hologramkitten3 points4y ago
Thank you for correcting :)
tarayur2 points4y ago
WHAT caramel syrup has dairy? i thought it was just the sauce?
hologramkitten0 points4y ago
Maybe I’m mistaken then because I’m not sure the difference between syrup and sauce. I’m just a customer sorry!
QueenMurmur1 points4y ago
Oh shoot lol my bad I knew that. I personally let it slide so I didn’t even think of it. Other flavors are good too, I think hazelnut is vegan
