Gone are the days when lactose-intolerant coffee drinks couldn't find a suitable drink in Starbucks, thanks to the chain's addition of oat milk on their menu.
Now, those who can't consume or don't want to drink dairy can order their favorite coffee-based beverage anytime they like.
However, with all the options available, it’s difficult to find the best drink that suits your taste.
In this article, we will discuss all the Starbucks oat milk drinks you need to try, so you can find which of these non-dairy drinks will be your next go-to order.
14 Starbucks Oat Milk Drinks (Healthy Additions To Your List)
1. Iced Brown Sugar Oat Milk Shaken Espresso
Have you heard of Starbucks’s blonde espresso roast drinks? If not, blonde espresso is the lighter version of the regular espresso and has a sweeter, mellower flavor.
This espresso is perfect for those who don't like the intense, bitter taste of coffee but need a boost of energy - and works really well in an iced brown sugar oatmilk shaken espresso drink.
The Iced Brown Sugar Oat Milk Shaken Espresso comes with blonde espresso coffee beans, shaken with brown sugar and cinnamon and topped with oat milk and ice.
The resulting iced brown sugar oatmilk shaken espresso gives you that cool punch and kick you need to power through your busy day.
Not everyone knows to order the iced brown sugar oatmilk shaken espresso, but it is on the regular menu.[1] Ask your barista and they should sort it for you.
2. Iced Blonde White Mocha with Oat Milk
Another Starbucks oat milk option with blonde espresso is this Iced Blonde White Mocha with Oat Milk.
If you love the sweet and creamy flavor of white chocolate, this is going to be your next favorite beverage.
The light taste of blonde espresso is combined with oat milk and caramelized white chocolate, and topped with whipped cream, resulting in a decadent cup that’s perfect as a pick-me-up drink.
The blonde espresso may not be as bitter as the regular espresso, but since it still has a slightly bitter taste, it balances out the sweetness of the white chocolate.
3. Iced Vanilla Latte with Oat Milk
If you love classic Starbucks iced latte drinks like us, then the Iced Vanilla Latte with Oat Milk will be perfect for you.
This Starbucks oat milk beverage doesn’t have any complicated ingredients, but the addition of vanilla syrup to the iced shaken espresso in a regular oat milk latte magically changes the drink.
You can also add whipped cream to make the drink sweeter.
It gives the cup a marshmallowy taste that transforms the classic drink into a great cup. Since it’s iced, this beverage is an excellent choice during hot days.
4. Iced Flat White with Oat Milk
Hello there, ristretto fans! We all know that Starbucks primarily serves espresso-based drinks, which can be disappointing for ristretto lovers.
Thankfully, the coffee shop decided to create an oat milk option made from smooth ristretto shots.
Given how concentrated ristretto shots are, it may be a little bitter for many coffee drinkers' taste.
But the addition of steamed oat milk balances out the robust flavor of coffee, resulting in a well-balanced cup.
The best part? You can make the iced flat white sweeter or darker depending on your preferred taste.
5. Honey Oat Milk Latte
Who doesn’t love honey, right? It's an excellent white or brown sugar alternative and produces a sweet yet earthy and nutty flavor that transforms any drink.
Now, Starbucks adds this great ingredient to their classic latte and have created the honey oatmilk latte.
The honey oatmilk latte is a simple recipe. They combined creamy oat milk, honey, and their signature espresso, topping it with toasted honey. This results in a sweet and salty cup.
However, if you’re managing your weight, you might want to think twice before ordering a honey oatmilk latte. A grande cup has 270 calories, which may be a lot for just a cup.
6. Honey and Hazelnut Oat Latte
If the Honeyoat Milk Latte uses regular espresso, this Honey and Hazelnut Oat Latte is created using Starbucks Blonde espresso shots.
The light flavor of the beans is combined with the nutty and sweet taste of hazelnut and honey, blended with creamy oat milk.
It’s topped with a light layer of foam, giving that velvety texture you want in a latte.
The combination of honey and hazelnut makes the drink ideal for people who don’t really like coffee but need some caffeine in their system.
7. Oat Milk Chai Tea Latte
If you're not a coffee drinker, these Starbucks oat milk drinks are for you. A chai tea latte is known for its spicy and sweet taste with a creamy and velvety texture, thanks to its milk.
This drink replaces regular milk with a non-dairy alternative--oat milk-- which gives the cup a whole new flavor.
Unlike whole milk, oat milk is a little sweeter. This balances the spices in the chai tea latte, giving it a lighter and luscious taste.
Barista HQ Pro Tip: If you want to add more kick to this drink, you can ask your barista to add a shot or two of espresso to turn this drink into an Oat Milk Dirty Chai Tea Latte. You can also ask for the Starbucks ice chai latte if you want a refreshing cold drink.
8. Strawberry and Vanilla Oat Latte
Are you looking for a dessert drink? If so, then the Strawberry and Vanilla Oat Latte is for you. But don’t be fooled.
The drink may look pretty and sweet, but it still contains a shot or two of espresso--depending on the size of the drink--, so if you don’t like to consume caffeine, this may not be a good choice.
Nevertheless, if you just want something sweet for your coffee drink, you can order this one!
9. Dark Cocoa and Orange Oat Latte
Who doesn’t love the combination of chocolate and orange flavors?
The Dark Cocoa and Orange Oat Latte combines the tanginess of orange and the bittersweet taste of dark cocoa to create a delightful cup of drink.
It features a blonde roast espresso, which is why the bitterness of dark cocoa blends well with the flavors of all the ingredients in the drink.
It’s also topped with foam, giving it a creamy texture perfect for drinking in cold weather.
10. London Fog Latte with Oat Milk
Starbucks has reinvented the classic Earl Gray tea with this London Fog tea Latte with Oat Milk beverage.
