My daughter (5) is not a fan of chocolate so we are constantly trying out new steamers for her looking for that perfect combo she loves as much as her brother loves his peppermint hot cocoa. Occasionally she will do hot cocoas with additional flavors added but its not her favorite.

Give me your favorites please. We would love new ideas.

Are there kid-friendly Starbucks drinks? Of course! Here are the most delicious Starbucks drinks for kids to add to your next drive-thru order.

No child (or adult for that matter) can resist a steaming mug of hot cocoa on a cold day. The Starbucks version, with whipped cream and a chocolate drizzle, is simply decadent. Pair it with two cake pops for a secret discount.

Nothing quite says fall like hot apple cider. And while this seasonal sip—with fresh apple juice, cinnamon syrup, whipped cream and caramel—isn’t actual cider, it’s definitely the next best thing. (This is the difference between apple juice and apple cider.)

Name one Starbucks drink more delicious than a Frappuccino… we’ll wait. And while most of the frozen favorites have coffee, none of the creme-based ones (like vanilla bean) do. That mean’s they’re a perfect treat for your kiddo—just opt for a smaller size like a tall or mini to avoid the inevitable sugar crash. Psst! These kid-friendly snacks help curb sugar cravings.

Is it frozen lemonade or a strawberry slush? The correct answer would be both. This fruity concoction has the consistency of the frozen lemonade you get at the beach in the summer but with a splash of strawberry juice that gives it a little something extra. Get our copycat recipe here.

Sure, you can make your own smoothies at home, but when you’re pressed for time or when your child is complaining that they’re hungry in the car, these Starbucks frozen treats will do. Each of the flavors (including strawberry and orange mango) are made with a whole banana—which is an ingredient that packs some surprising benefits.

Don’t let the name fool you—this frothy beverage is for kids of all ages. Made with just milk, it’s like a cappuccino but without the espresso (and the caffeine). It isn’t on the menu, though, so you’ll have to make a special request. See what else is on the secret menu at Starbucks.
