Calories in Starbucks Beetroot, Roasted Veg and Hummus Ciabatta

Calories in Starbucks Beetroot, Roasted Veg and Hummus Ciabatta come to 538, with 6.4g of fiber making it one of the more filling vegetarian options in the sandwich lineup. A friend of mine who doesn’t eat meat swears this is the only sandwich at Starbucks worth ordering, and after trying it, I mostly agree. The roasted vegetables actually taste roasted, not steamed-and-forgotten, and the hummus adds enough creaminess that you don’t miss a spread.

It’s fully vegetarian, though the allergen list — wheat, sesame and soya — means it’s not automatically safe for anyone with a sesame allergy, which catches people off guard given the ciabatta looks plain. Sodium runs high at 1116mg, so it’s not an everyday lunch if you’re tracking salt.

If you want something similarly plant-based but smaller, the Gluten Free Egg & Tomato Tapenade Sandwich is worth a look. Compared to the Chicken Pesto Croque, this has less protein but more fiber, and it’s a gentler order than the Bacon, Gouda & Egg Sandwich if you’re eating meat-free that day.
