An Extraordinarily Shallow Question.

On my very brisk walk with the kiddos this morning, I had a very deep and personal blog post formulating in my mind. Now that I am actually sitting at my computer, my brain is completely full of life change ideas and deep thoughts and it's kind of wearing me out. Meh. So, the next totally unrelated idea that came into my head:

What is your favorite Starbucks drink?

(Lame! Shallow! Irrelevant to the current events of the world!)

Or, even better: Do you even LIKE Starbucks, or do you scoff at their mass-produced sludge they call coffee? If so, what DO you like?

(You went to college?! This is pathetic blog fodder!)

I am either a skinny caramel macchiato or caramel mocha with soy kind of girl.

(Caramel mocha with soy? Really? Yum!)

I think I just need a break from deep thoughts.

  1. I actually prefer their iced passion tea, sweetened. The venti size is way cheaper than their coffee drinks and its not as thick (that thickness sticks to my teeth, yuck!).

  2. I love the shallowness sometimes, allows our brains to rest and enjoy little thing...My most favorite drink right now is the Vanilla Rooibos tea Latte - soy milk and no syrup. So very delicious! And kind of healthy. :)

  3. I love a tall, two pump, extra hot, no whip mocha...with cinnamon sprinkled on top!

  4. I actually don't like Starbucks very much, but when I go there, I love their frappacinos, any flavor!! Yum!!

  5. I'm a frappacino kind of a girl. I don't care what kind as long as it's a frapp.

  6. That super big size option they carry is my favorite thing, haha! Kidding. Although, I did order a rather large coffee today. My favorite was the iced berry chai, but, they no longer offer it. :( It was SO amazing!

  7. fall/spring: tall soy chai
    winter: skinny pumpkin spice latte
    summer: java chip frappuccino (no skinny, no soy, and lots of whip ... you burn extra calories in the heat of the summer, right? Actually, that's probably why I retained baby weight for so long.)

  8. If I just want coffee, I go for a tall cafe misto with hazelnut. It's just coffee with steamed milk...I call it a poor man's latte! If I'm feeling fancy, I like a cinnamon dolce latte or a chai latte. All decaf, of course, because my child continues to turn into a little monster if I drink even the tiniest bit of caffeine! Boo :(

  9. Confession: Never ordered my own drink from Starbucks. Gasp!! Sipped on Brandon's, yes? I'm not a coffee drinker at all & the lingo makes me nervous. Too. Much. Pressure. I much prefer a large unsweet tea from Sonic with extra, extra ice. Or a water with fresh lime with extra, extra ice, also from Sonic. Give me the cold drinks over the hot ones any day. ;)

  10. LOL! Light hearted posts are fun too! I really don't like Starbucks all that much. Or maybe I'm just frugal and refuse to pay for coffee because I can get it free at work lol! :)

  11. I'm branching out lately, but I generally prefer a tall, skinny, cinnamon dulce latte with whip. I do love that carmel mocha though. ;)

  12. Caramel mocha all the way. Sadness that they took away the salted caramel. :(

  13. I totally understand about having to just write about something a little bit meaningless every once in a while. I have had lots of blog ideas running through my head the last couple of weeks, but have never gotten around to actually writing any of them down...hopefully soon!
    Anyway, I enjoy very much my Starbucks...Toffee Nut latte with nonfat milk no whip is my dear friend and good standby but I rather enjoy the holiday flavors like caramel brulee and pumpkin spice during December. Rumor has it we are supposed to be getting a Starbucks really soon here in Guatemala an that makes me very happy and my hubby very sad I think! :)
