Choose from soy, almond, coconut, or oat milk for your kiddo’s chocolate-infused beverage. Ask the barista for a tall cup with ice, then pour the juice over ice so your kid feels like they’re sipping a custom-made drink, just like the grown-ups.īaristas can add a pump or two of vegan-friendly chocolate syrup to any of the non-dairy offerings for a custom chocolate milk. Flavors include Organic Super Fruit Greens, Watermelon, Orange, Vital Berry, and Defense Up (a vitamin-C-packed tropical blend of fruits). Let your kid have his or her pick of an organic, 100-percent juice from the refrigerated section of the store as you wait to order your cold brew. Ask for a mix of Passion Tango iced tea, organic soy or coconut milk, a pump of vanilla syrup, and blackberries-shaken, not stirred. Not to be confused with the caffeine-spiked Pink and Violet Drinks, the Purple Drink is an equally colorful fruity beverage that won’t send kids into a tailspin. If you don’t need the caffeine, you might just want to order one for yourself. The chain’s signature “golden ginger blend with turmeric essence” is shaken up with cool coconut milk, ice, and pineapple ginger syrup.

This sunshine-hued iced beverage actually has some feel-good ingredients mixed in with a tropical taste. For a fun, hot-pink twist on lemonade, order your tot an Iced Passion Tango Tea Lemonade. Mint Majesty, Peach Tranquility, and Comfort Brewed Wellness Tea are all good picks. Starbucks can make an iced version of any loose leaf tea available in-store.

Unfortunately, if you’re avoiding sugar, you’re on your own.

These nine caffeine-free beverages will satisfy the “I wants” of any child on a hot summer day. Of course, there’s no way we’re about to hand a caffeine-laden Frappuccino to a human being with boundless energy. Anyone with child experience-whether it’s kids of your own or a profitable summer of babysitting-knows that you can’t take them anywhere without a few “I want (fill in the blank).” Kids are naturally curious, and if they see you sipping on a latte or a vibrant Starbucks Refresher, they’re going to want one, too.
