I love Starbucks – their coffee, tea, bakery items and lunches. I am a sucker to try anything new they put on their menu, and I hold my coveted gold card near to my heart.
As someone who classifies herself as a “Starbucksaholic,” I am providing a list of what I think is the top seven things you should order during your next Starbucks run. Here you go:
Recommended for you
1. White Chocolate Mocha Iced Latte
This is a classic; it contains espresso, white chocolate sauce, ice, milk and whipped cream. This espresso blend is the perfect blend of sweet and savory, and gives the drinker the option to get it hot or as a Frappuccino. This is personally one of my favorites – I highly recommend it!
2. Teavana Shaken Iced Passion Tango Tea
This is a perfect drink for summer and warm weather. Its blend of hibiscus, lemongrass, rose hips and apple flavors offer a light beverage when you’re on the go. You can also order this beverage with lemonade mixed in as well. This is one of my top options when the weather is nice outside, or I’m on my way to the park.
3. Pumpkin Bread
I love pumpkin flavored anything; I will gladly be enveloped in the smell and taste of it every day. Unfortunately, Starbucks does not offer the Pumpkin Spice Latte year round. However, they offer Pumpkin Bread 365 days a year. The spiced pumpkin bread with pepitas is a great breakfast or snack item. I highly recommend it!
4. Old-Fashioned Grilled Cheese Sandwich
The multi-grain bread and three cheese mix is a delicious lunch item. The mixture of mozzarella, cheddar and extra sharp white cheddar cheese isn’t too heavy to eat on the go, and provides a vegetarian option.
5. Cinnamon Dolce Latte
If you’re not someone who likes sweet coffee, the Cinnamon Dolce Latte is a good choice for you. The semi-bitter taste allows you to satisfy your sweet tooth, but doesn’t over power you in sugar. This beverage is available in hot, cold and as a Frappuccino. You’ll be in for a treat with this one.
6. Evolution Fresh Strawberry Banana Smoothie
The perfect combination of nonfat Greek yogurt, strawberry, banana and apple flavor makes the perfect summer day treat. This drink can be the perfect fix for when you’re craving something sweet – but also doesn’t have nearly as many calories as other alternatives.
7. Java Chip Frappuccino
For those of you that prefer a blended coffee that isn’t as strong as espresso or cold brew, a Frappuccino will be the perfect drink for you. I like the Java Chip because of the chocolaty flavor. The combination of mocha sauce and java chips is always a great choice. Also, for those of you who do not like coffee at all, the Double Chocolaty Chip Frappuccino offers the same great taste, but is coffee free.
Though Starbucks offers hundred of great treats, here are some of my classic favorites. However, don’t forget to try the two new drinks that just came out: Caramel Waffle Cone Frappuccino and the Caramel Cocoa Cluster Frappuccino, or the S’mores Frappuccino. These drinks will be great for the summer!
