On January 12, Starbucks Coffee Company (Nasdaq: SBUX) will introduce new beverage and food options in participating U.S. stores as part of the company’s continued commitment to meeting the needs of its customers looking for options. Made with wholesome, high-quality ingredients that customers expect from Starbucks, the 90-calorie or less beverages and new hot Panini sandwiches are great choices for customers any time of day.

“Reducing the number of calories – even slightly – can have a great benefit over time,” said Katie Thomson, MS, RD, senior nutritionist, Starbucks Coffee Company. “Saving just 100 calories a day adds up to about 10 pounds of weight loss per year. And we know cutting calories should not mean depriving customers of great taste.”

“Our customers are looking for great tasting, wholesome options. The new Panini sandwiches are freshly made with high quality ingredients and are under 400 calories. We take great pride in delivering taste, nutrition and quality,” said Annie Young-Scrivner, Global Chief Marketing Officer, Starbucks Coffee Company.

When you’re hungry and in a hurry, sometimes only a hot lunch can satisfy – but often those cheesy, melt-y and creamy options can break the calorie bank.  Starbucks now offers four Panini sandwiches that are warmed upon order for a quick and delicious lunch, and at less than 400 calories per serving, you can enjoy cheesy, melt-y and creamy again.  Pair your favorite handcrafted Starbucks® beverage with one of these flavorful sandwiches and indulge in a hot lunch without the guilt.
