By now, I am sure you know that Starbucks offers more than just coffee and baked goods. You can order lunch or a light snack from your favorite coffee shop as well.
Being a Starbucks regular, I decided to give some of the sandwiches, wraps, and egg bites a chance. You’ll be glad to know that the quality of their coffee has spilled over to their food counter as well.
What I’m pleased about the most is the incorporation of feta cheese into the Starbucks menu.
So, I decided to write a short article listing all the food options Starbucks used feta in.
Interesting Facts About Feta Cheese
A fantastic source of nutrients like calcium and protein.
One ounce of feta has 74 calories compared to 110 calories in cheddar or parmesan.
It contains more calcium and B vitamins than other cheeses like mozzarella, ricotta, cottage cheese, or goat cheese.
Feta is rich in probiotics which promote your immune system and gut health.
It also contains good amounts of conjugated linoleic acid(CLA), which helps prevent diabetes and cancer.
