If Starbucks is a part of your regular routine, you may wonder how many items on the company’s extensive drink menu can fit a vegan diet.

While several items are vegan from the start, you can also make slight adjustments to most other drinks to make them vegan-friendly.

Here are 8 drinks at Starbucks that are either already vegan or can be customized to make them vegan.

Starbucks coffee, as well as its black, green, chai, and herbal teas, are vegan to begin with, so starting with these as your base order is an easy way to avoid animal-derived ingredients.

If you don’t want to drink your coffee black or your tea plain, choose a nondairy milk like soy, oat, coconut, or almond milk.

You can also add certain flavoring syrups. Note that most of the clear syrups, such as vanilla, hazelnut, and Irish crème, are vegan. Thicker cream syrups like white mocha, pistachio, and pumpkin spice contain dairy — though mocha sauce doesn’t.
