Something for Me at Starbuck's

Diet and Nutrition

Finally found something coffee-ish I actually like at Starbuck's.

Some of you know this already: I don't drink coffee. Never have. Always hated it. The only coffee-flavored things I'll touch are the Jamocha Shake at Arby's and Jamocha ice cream from Baskin-Robbins. So Starbucks was basically dead to me.

This weekend though, my wife suggested I try a frappuccino. And guess what? It's basically just a Jamocha Shake. Ha!

Somebody at Starbucks HQ is probably losing their mind right now being compared to the Jamocha Shake at Arby's. But that's what it tastes like to me, sorry. Slightly more coffee-forward but not enough that I can't deal.

Really tasty pick-me-up. Skip the whipped cream though. The Grande frappuccino's already 260 calories.

Full disclosure: I actually had a Tall "Mint Mocha Chip" frappuccino. To be fair, a medium Arby's Jamocha Shake runs 500 calories so the frappuccino wins on the nutrition front. Marginally.
