GTKY - What's your favorite "treat yo'self" beverage?

1faceinacrowd

In honor of "Treat Yo'self Tuesday"... What's your favorite "treat" beverage? Is it different during pregnancy?
(i.e. fru-fru coffee drinks, milkshakes, smoothies, etc.)


Mine is usually Starbucks Double Chocolately Chip Frappuccino; no coffee so it's good any time, day or night!
At the moment, however, I'm addicted to Starbucks Caramelized Honey Iced Lattes (decaf). I'm drinking one right now.

I am all about milkshakes this pregnancy! Oreo shakes from Burger King are my current fave!

@1faceinacrowd I almost tried the new honey latte this weekend but went with an old staple. I'll have to give it a try because it sounds so good!

I love getting iced tea. It is basic, but almost anytime I'm out running errands by myself I'll get one. I'm a tea snob so it has to be either: Canes, McAlisters, ChickFilA, Starbucks or Sonic.

When I'm not pregnant, it's WINE of course! But these days it's a Starbucks green tea & lemonade, and once in a while a ginger beer (before I was pregnant I bought a bunch of those with the idea of making Moscow mules, but that never happened!). Btw, before anyone flames me, ginger beer is non-alcoholic!

Wawa Cookies and Cream Frozen Capp... sooo good. Definitely a pregnancy thing though because before pregnancy I thought it was too sweet. Not pregnant give me all caramel macchiatos from Starbucks... I love caffeine.

It's been shamrock shakes... I wish they were year round!

Mountain Dew!!! Plain and simple! I mostly drink water, or water with Lemon, but I have been treating myself to a Dew every few days, but only while I'm at work.

I would love a darn cold pepsi, my next go to is a Tim Horton's (Canada) English toffee with whipped topping and chocolate drizzle. I haven't had any pop in almost a year, and I may have a Tim's 5 times a year total. Otherwise its just cold water, almond milk and orange juice, I have a very restricted diet due to health issue.

A chocolate milkshake from McDonald's and sundrop! Now I currently want both, all of my cravings stem from the bump!

Bookhousegirl

Yum these all sound amazing! I got a foutain Dr Pepper the other day and that may become a semi-regular occurance because it was amazing.

I'm also loving McDonald's chocolate shakes! Only because the drive thru is two minutes away. I also love chocolate fribbles from friendlys.

@Snaps816Ginger beer with lime is one of my favorites as well! It's my go-to on date nights with DH or out with friends when I'm sick of water and miss having a real drink. 

Totally craving a milkshake now though!

McDonald's sweet tea.. Mmm

Katienu

These all sound so good.  I am really craving lime-aide. 

Ceventa

Chocolate milkshake 

michelle_shelle

Not a drink, but can I rant about the fact that DQ and McDonalds or anywhere else no longer have Smarties(the chocolate candy) Blizzards/McFlurry. This classic cannot be replaced with m&m's it's just not the same. I am forced to eat Skor (yes forced, baby will not be happy otherwise LOL )

bearsandbeets7

I'll second the lime aide but more of a route 44 cherry lime aide from sonic!

pelorunningmama

@Lynnlove28 a McDonalds' chocolate shake may be in my very near future now. Uhoh...

WinnieLou82

I don't drink very exciting drinks normally so my beverage treat is definitely non-alcoholic beer or champagne. Cheers!

Duffgurl

I'm also a sucker for McDonalds sweet tea. I've been loving my decaf coffe with coldstone sweet cream creamer and a dash of cinnamon.

Starbucks iced tea. So good! And it doesn't help that  there is a Starbucks right across the street from my apartment and work. I also was really wanting fountain coke when the morning sickness was bad...it was there only thing that helped. 

squishy0511

Pregnancy- A sonic cherry limeaid, a sonic cream slush, or root beer! 

Prepregnancy- a London fog!

cait5413

Sonic's new creamery dark chocolate shakes are pretty tasty. 

Stephanie7693

Pregnancy drink treats are vanilla malts and coke. Before pregnancy my go to was white Russians. And coffee. Pregnant or not I love my coffee, it just involves lots of decaf these days

texasmama2014

Dr. Pepper, Braums shakes, and now I want a McDonalds chocolate shake...

telicious2

Earlier in the pregnancy I was loving Snapple Kiwi Strawberry. Now on the weekends I'll drink a diet Mt Dew if I need some caffeine. 

karaszoo1

Pregnancy : strawberry banana  anything (smoothies,Capri sun ,juicy juice etc lol) and ice tea no lemon add 3 Splenda so it's sweet.
Prepregnancy : fireball lol 

acciobaby123

Starbucks new honey caramel decaf sooo good 

bearsandbeets7

@karaszoo1 your comment on the tea makes me laugh because where I'm from any tea you get is sweet. The first time I visited my sister in PA I asked for tea and they brought me unsweetened, I was like can I just get a coke? 

skelly70

Whiskey! 

Eta-posted before I finished. 

AliKay20

Tall coffee frap from Starbucks!!

sully1109

I've been loving lemonade lately from panera or a decaf iced caramel macchiato from starbucks

ebilbao

I love an Arnold Palmer or a Blizzard. Another poster mentioned they are not drinks, but they are still valid for TYST, I believe. 

Nikkoli98

@1faceinacrowd , great gtky topic!

Coffee,  but only 1 per day. Lately I've also been enjoying Costco organic lemonade, or lemonade cut with water.

Also Silk chocolate cashew milk. 

Prepregnancy, nothing beats a nice glass of pinot noir!!

JournoGrl23

Now I'm craving a cookies n cream milk shake from chick fil a! 

I normally just drink a lot of water and one cup of coffee a day pre pregnancy. But I've been having aversions to coffee for weeks. During pregnancy I've been drinking Mountain Dew for caffeine and have been craving lemonade a lot!

gadzooks_3

Fresh made ginger beer

nanner26

I have been hooked on lemonade lately. Something super simple that I just never got before. Yum! 

lucypod

Black-and-white milkshakes!  Extra extra thick!

emmeline714

Mrsrundell

Snaps816

I almost forgot -- Trader Joe's low calorie organic lemonade! Both the regular and pink varieties are awesome! Half the sugar and still nice and sweet and tart.
