This Limited-Edition Starbucks Drop Includes Something You'd Never Expect

Starbucks has entered its fitness era with two exciting new products.

One is the coffee chain's new ready-to-drink Coffee & Protein beverage, which combines its high-quality coffee with 22 grams of protein, prebiotic fiber, vitamins, minerals, and minimal sugar. This drink is available in two flavors: Classic Caffé and Caffé Mocha.

Starbucks is also joining the weighted vest trend with the highly anticipated release of its own limited-edition version - the Starbucks Weighted Vest. Designed in collaboration with former InStyle beauty director turned fashion designer Kahlana Barfield Brown, it was created not only for convenience but also to support health goals and offer standout style. "Weighted vests are having a major moment, but most weren't designed to be both functional and fashionable," says Barfield Brown.

She adds, "With the Starbucks Weighted Vest, we wanted to take something functional and make it feel fashion-forward and intentional. It's an easy upgrade to morning routines that fits seamlessly alongside RTD Starbucks Coffee & Protein." The five-pound vest is designed for convenience on the go, featuring front pockets and a mesh pouch on the back for holding RTD bottles. Starbucks describes the product as "something people would want to wear every morning."

For those looking to elevate their fitness routine with Starbucks, the weighted vest will be available nationwide starting May 21. The $22 price point is intentional, mirroring the 22 grams of protein found in the ready-to-drink Coffee & Protein beverages. These beverages are currently available online and in grocery and convenience stores across the country.

Additionally, there's a chance to win a limited-edition weighted vest by entering the Starbucks Coffee & Protein Level Up Strava Challenge. Participants who log into the Strava app have until June 18 to walk or run for 22 minutes a day on 10 or more days.

If you're still looking for motivation to stick to your New Year's fitness resolutions, Starbucks has you covered.
