For starters I’d like to talk about Starbucks‘ newest addition “the Starbucks card mini.” Words just can’t describe on how I feel about this little guy. Its just so cute! Not to mention very functional.
Great for those times to when you just don’t feel like lugging around a purse or wallet. You can just clip it onto your keys and go! You’ll never be without your fix.
I made Starbucks’ Banana Walnut Bread. Finally! I must say this bread is fantastic. Superb, really. Nutty, sweet, moist, the crunch of the nuts counteract the soft moistness of the banana. Everything you want in a pastry. Anyone reading this needs to make this bread.
It’ll change your life. Haha, ok not really, but it is honestly a delicious addition to your breakfast table. Either pick up the little recipe card at your local Starbucks or go to the Starbucks website for the recipe. This recipe makes one 9x5x3 loaf of bread. Or you could bake it into little tiny loaves like I did and get 24 mini loaves.
This coffee is obviously a bold pick. I taste a roastyness (is that even a word?), slightly savory, yet also slightly sweet. Not one of my favorites since I don’t care for coffee’s that are even the slightest savory. Still, its a pretty decent cup of joe. Try it out if it sounds like your cup of tea (or should I say cup of coffee?).
Another reviewing of another recent addition to Starbucks; the Strawberry Banana Vivanno. Now I realize the price of this drink. Its $4+, but if you take advantage of the return of the treat receipt, you’ll only be spending $2+. Not that much since it is a Grande size.
[Excuse the emptiness of my cup, I was thirsty.]
Strawberry and banana are just two flavors that go seamlessly together and this smoothie captures that. Truly refreshing on a hot summer day.
By default this smoothie is made with 2% milk but you can ask for it to be made with nonfat or soy. Real simple ingredients. A whole banana, strawberry puree, milk and whey protein powder. Its just that easy kids. The protein in this guy is a terrific bonus which ranges from 15-16 grams (depends on which milk option you choose). Plus this beverage has 6-7 grams of fiber! Now who couldn’t use a little extra fiber in their lives? Readers out there, get down to your Starbucks, order this smoothie. Take advantage of the treat receipt!
