Starbucks' Cakes


My visit to any Starbucks stores is never complete without indulging to any cakes.  I love Starbucks' cakes!  And I pretty much enjoy my indulgence tasting variety of cakes especially the chocolate flavored ones.  One may forget his/her diet once he/she sees the cake displays at the counter.  The cakes are mouth-watering and hard to resist (or is it just me?).

Peppermint Green Tea Frappe

My constant visit to Starbucks Coffee store made me realized I’m not getting the healthiest drink that the store could offer on regular drinks.   Most of the drinks contain high calories and fats.  But recently, I found out how to have a healthy drink in SB.  Did you know that at SB, you can have the drink the way you want it?  And in its website, it has a calorie counter for every size you may order at the store.  So if you’re a health buff and wanna go and chill at SB, try visiting first the site for healthy drink options.

My favorite drink in SB is the Green Tea Cream Frappuccino.  I thought this is the healthiest drink since it is green tea anyway.  I was surprised to see the benefits I was getting when I checked it out.  The regular Green Tea Cream Frappuccino (tall size) has

The bigger the size the higher calories and fats the drink has.
How would I have better healthy benefits from my fave Green Tea Cream Frappuccino then? "One tall Green Tea Cream Frappe please with non-fat milk, no whip cream, no sweet syrup but replace it with peppermint syrup.", this is my order line nowadays.  So let’s check:
 Then by adding peppermint, I'm also getting this:
Green Tea has an aftertaste that some may find it offensive to their taste buds.  But with the fusion of peppermint, Peppermint Green Tea Frappuccino tastes so refreshing!

Guilt-Free Indulgence



What could ever be an indulgence that is guilt-free?  If you say indulgence, it’s somehow flouting to satisfy one’s wants or desire.  So what could ever be a guilt-free indulgence can you think of?  

To Starbucks, it’s their new product that I recently tasted.  Yes!  It’s called Guilt-Free Indulgence, a cake that makes you want for another slice.  Why so?  It’s sugar-free!  It’s a three layer cake of chocolate mousse (white to dark chocolate) with crushed Oreo cookies for the base that is so velvety.  The taste is so indulging that you may want for another slice.  It’s like Heaven on Earth but zero sugar.  And it's a perfect match for my Green Tea Cream Frappe.
