A new line of Tim Hortons' Protein Lattes is now available at Tim Hortons restaurants across Canada, and they're available in hot and iced options. While the hot Protein Lattes are handcrafted with a lactose-free, high-protein dairy beverage and have 20 grams of protein per medium beverage, the iced Protein Lattes have 17 grams of protein per medium beverage. Although people will choose them for the energy and satiety they provide, they can also be customized with a flavor shot, so the experience is nutritious and uncompromising on taste.
At Tims, guests can now also add the lactose-free, high-protein dairy beverage to their other favourite drinks, including hot and iced coffees, teas, Cold Brews and Iced Capps.
