Registered dietitians Stephanie Clarke and Willow Jarosh of C&J Nutrition get an early taste of Starbucks's newest non-dairy option, almond milk. Read on to see if it lived up to the hype–and their nutritional standards.

When we first heard that Starbucks was going to start offering almond milk (the Starbucks variety is spelled almondmilk) starting September 6th in select locations and September 29th nationally, we figured it would be in the same boat as their coconut milk and soy milk—sweet. We are really grateful that Starbucks offers non-dairy options for people who can’t, or don’t want to, consume dairy products. But we often wish that the soy and coconut beverages they offer were less sugary. Let us be the first to tell you, the almondmilk delivers. Here are three reasons we are fans of the new dairy-free option from our nation’s favorite caffeinator.

It’s got the lowest sugar count of any of Starbucks's non-dairy milk options.

One cup of Starbucks’ almondmilk contains: 60 calories, 4 grams fat, 110 mg sodium, 5 grams carbohydrate, 1 gram fiber, 3 grams sugar, and 2 grams of protein. In comparison, a cup of the coconut milk at Starbucks delivers 8.5 grams of sugar, while the soy milk packs in 13.5 grams of sugar per cup. In addition, the new almond milk delivers 30 percent of the daily value of calcium and vitamin D, 10 percent of the daily value of vitamin A, and 2 percent of the daily value for iron.

It might change your drink game for good.
