This page lists standardized nutritional estimates for the most commonly used Starbucks ingredients so you can make smarter customization choices. The values below show typical amounts per serving unit used in drinks (milks per 8 oz, syrups per pump, and common topping portions). These are intended as a reliable reference to plug into our calculator and to compare swaps (for example: almond milk vs oat milk). All values are estimates based on standard ingredient profiles and official Starbucks nutrition references.
