11 Kid-Friendly Starbucks Drinks That Contain No Caffeine

11 Kid-Friendly Starbucks Drinks That Contain No Caffeine

Adults find simple pleasure in picking up a coffee from their favorite chain to start their mornings, but kids often don’t find the same happiness in trips to the drive-thru. Children in the U.S. are exposed to an excess of caffeine, especially with energy drinks marketed towards youth. But among the medical community, the consensus is clear: there is no safe amount of caffeine for children.

Caffeine intake among minors has been connected to disrupted sleep patterns, mental health issues like depression and anxiety, and general developmental problems. And a standard serving of caffeine has a much larger impact on young bodies than it would for adults.

Starbucks has a wide range of beverages, but you may not know that some of them include caffeine. For example, the entire menu of Refreshers contains a minimum of 45mg of caffeine—which some health experts say can be permissible for children over the age of 12, but no younger. But don’t despair: there are still plenty of Starbucks drinks that have no caffeine at all.

We’ve rounded up every drink on the Starbucks menu that contains 0mg of caffeine, so the kids in your life can enjoy a trip to Starbs too. It is important, however, to check the nutrition facts when ordering (especially when it comes to sugar content).
