Current Dutch Bros Protein Coffee Menu
| Drink | What is in it? |
|---|---|
| Golden Eagle Protein | Espresso, caramel, vanilla, protein milk, and caramel drizzle |
| Vanilla Protein Latte | Espresso, vanilla, and protein milk |
| Vanilla Zero Sugar Added Protein Latte | Espresso, sugar-free vanilla, and protein milk |
| Hopscotch Protein Latte | Espresso, salted caramel, caramel, protein milk, and caramel drizzle |
| Hopscotch Zero Sugar Added Protein Latte | Espresso, sugar-free salted caramel and caramel, protein milk, and sugar-free caramel drizzle |

The Protein Latte is the simplest option and the easiest base to customize. Golden Eagle adds caramel and vanilla, while Hopscotch uses salted caramel and caramel. The mocha versions include chocolate. “Zero sugar added” refers to the recipe, not a sugar-free or low-calorie food; protein milk naturally contains sugar.
Calories, Protein, and Caffeine
The official nutrition guide shows that size and preparation make a major difference. The table below compares medium iced versions so the numbers are directly comparable.
| Medium iced drink | Calories | Protein | Caffeine |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protein Latte | 220 | 26 g | 95 mg |
| Vanilla Protein Latte | 280 | 23 g | 95 mg |
| Vanilla Zero Sugar Added Protein Latte | 200 | 23 g | 95 mg |
| Golden Eagle Protein Latte | 330 | 23 g | 95 mg |
| Hopscotch Protein Latte | 350 | 23 g | 95 mg |
| Hopscotch Zero Sugar Added Protein Latte | 290 | 21 g | 95 mg |
| Hopscotch Protein Mocha | 340 | 23 g | 95 mg |
| Hopscotch Zero Sugar Added Protein Mocha | 300 | 22 g | 95 mg |
A medium iced plain Protein Latte has 220 calories and 26 grams of protein. A small iced version has 140 calories and 16 grams of protein, while a large has 280 calories, 32 grams of protein, and 190 milligrams of caffeine. Hot drinks use different milk proportions and therefore have different totals.
All Protein Coffee drinks contain milk. Some zero-sugar-added Hopscotch recipes also list soy in the official allergen guide. Ask the shop about ingredients and cross-contact if you have an allergy.
What Is Dutch Bros Protein Milk?
Protein milk is a dairy milk formulated to provide more protein than the regular 2% milk used in a standard latte. Dutch Bros describes its protein drinks as a good source of protein and high in calcium. The protein is supplied by the milk rather than a scoop of dry protein powder added by the barista.
Because it is dairy milk, it is not suitable for a milk allergy or a dairy-free diet. Replacing it with oat, almond, coconut, or another milk alternative changes the drink and will not provide the same published protein figures.
Dutch Bros Protein Coffee Prices
Dutch Bros does not publish one permanent nationwide price table for Protein Coffee. The price depends on the shop, cup size, drink, preparation, and add-ons. Use the Dutch Bros app or Order Ahead menu with your location selected to see the current total. Avoid relying on old fixed-price lists because local menu prices change.
Copycat Vanilla Protein Latte Recipe
This unofficial recipe is inspired by the Dutch Bros Vanilla Protein Latte. It uses ultrafiltered high-protein milk to create a similar creamy, protein-forward drink at home. Nutrition varies by the brands you choose and will not exactly match the shop version.
Ingredients
- 1 cup ice
- 2 shots espresso, cooled slightly
- 1 cup cold ultrafiltered 2% high-protein milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup
Instructions
- Fill a 16-ounce glass with ice.
- Stir the vanilla syrup into the warm espresso until combined.
- Pour the flavored espresso over the ice.
- Add the cold high-protein milk and stir. Serve immediately.
Zero-sugar-added variation: Use a sugar-free vanilla syrup. The milk still contains naturally occurring sugar, so the finished drink is not sugar-free.
How to Customize a Protein Coffee
- Start plain: Order the Protein Latte if you want espresso and protein milk without an added menu flavor.
- Choose zero sugar added: Vanilla and Hopscotch have designated zero-sugar-added recipes. These drinks still contain naturally occurring milk sugar.
- Choose hot or iced: The official Protein Latte is available both ways, but calories and protein differ by preparation and size.
- Add flavor carefully: Syrups, sauces, drizzles, Soft Top, and whipped cream can change calories, sugar, and allergens.
- Adjust caffeine: Medium drinks generally contain 95 milligrams in the official guide, while many large versions contain 190 milligrams. Espresso changes alter the total.

Is Protein Coffee a meal replacement?
It is a coffee drink that contributes protein, not a nutritionally complete meal. Whether it fits your diet depends on your overall nutrition needs, caffeine tolerance, allergies, and health goals.
