Starbucks’ spring menu includes new iced shaken espresso, oat milk expansion

Oat milk, the non-dairy milk alternative that has surged in popularity, is now a permanent fixture on the Starbucks menu.

The coffee chain announced Monday will roll out Oatly oat milk, as an option for customers to all its stores nationwide starting Tuesday.  

To usher in the rollout, Starbucks is introducing a new beverage: the iced shaken espresso. Consumers can purchase the Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, which combines Blonde espresso, brown sugar and cinnamon, then tops it off with oatmilk.

Another drink called the Iced Chocolate Almondmilk Shaken Espresso features Blonde espresso with cocoa and notes of malt, combined with almond milk and ice. 

The chain’s spring menu will also include Chickpea Bites and an Avocado Protein Box.

Earlier this year, Oatly made headlines for an unusual ad aired during the Super Bowl. The 30-second spot features Oatly CEO Toni Petersson singing the praises of oat milk, with lyrics such as “it’s like milk, but made for humans” and “wow, no cow.”

Oat milk is made by soaking oats in water,  and then straining the mixture through a cheesecloth.
