Starbucks Smoothies

I contacted Starbuck's press department to find out what is in their new smoothies. The following response was emailed to me from their representative:

"Here is the list of ingredients for Starbucks Vivanno™ Smoothies:

  • Strawberry Banana Vivanno™ Smoothie: One whole banana, strawberry puree, 2% milk, whey protein & fiber powder, ice
  • Banana Chocolate Vivanno™ Smoothie: One whole banana, bittersweet cocoa, 2% milk, whey protein & fiber powder, ice
  • Orange Mango Banana Vivanno™ Smoothie: One whole banana, juice, 2% milk, whey protein & fiber powder, ice

Though the ingredients in the whey protein & fiber powder are proprietary, I can confirm that none of the smoothies contain eggs, meat or fish derivatives."

Vivanno Smoothies are still egg free. I was at Starbucks yesterday and they let me read the whey protein package ingredients label. The powder is also wheat/gluten free although the allergen warning reads that the product is made in a facility that shares equipment with wheat/gluten and egg products.
