Starbucks - ARGH!

I have been craving frappucinos and icees of any kind for that matter for the past few weeks.  I'm not really sure why.  While I have been trying to limit my Starbucks runs because of the caffeine, they are making it really hard for me since all fraps are 1/2 this week.  I've already had two since Monday - ppft!  I.must.stop the maddness!

Re: Starbucks - ARGH!

  • You can get cream only fraps. I did that a ton with pumpkin spice ones, since I'd always get the enormous one & feel jittery afterward. It was like an amazing pumpkin milkshake. Anyway, my point is they can just put in cream/milk & syrup, & it tastes the same.

  • The decaf ones don't taste as good.  The regular ones actually don't have as much caffeine in them as I thought they would, but it's mainly the added calories that I don't really need ;-) 

    I did try the chocolate cookie crumble one today that had no coffee in it... it was good, but not quite the same :-/ 

  • I have had a decaf caramel light and it tasted the same to me! It was delicious! Maybe try that one, see how you like it!

  • I've been all over those too! One day they forgot to ring it up 1/2 price so they gave me a full refund and a coupon for another free drink! All around win!

    I love caramel frappucinos, so I looked up the caffeine content.  A tall only has 65 mg of caffeine.  I've only gone once this week for the happy hour, though I'm planning on going again on Saturday.

  • I had a decaf soy cookie frap the other day.  So good and I usually don't like the fraps....I'm an iced decaf soy cinnamon dolce girl.

  • As pp's said, I just go decaf now.  It is still just as satisfying to me.
