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

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. :smiley:

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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 :) )

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

    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.

    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 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?

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

    @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!!

    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!

    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.
