![]() Sometimes you just want to drink a glass of candy. It’s light but still tangy and pretty awesome for warm weather. ![]() First, there’s nothing wrong with a smoothie from Starbucks. Evolution Fresh Mango Carrot SmoothieĮw, carrot smoothie… right? Wrong. It’s a good little treat for when it’s cold and you don’t want the caffeine. Making a hot chocolate beverage out of them both is worthy of the Nobel. Salted caramel is probably the best idea in the history of salt and caramel. Come to think of it, maybe there should be more beetle-based beverages out there. In fact, they should go back to the beetle recipe because that was awesome. Yeah, we know… those are some tasty beetles. Get out of here with that “you know they put crushed up beetles in there” mess. What’s not to love? Strawberries & Crème Frappuccino It’s green tea so it’s nice and light for summer, and the lemonade is fresh. Pretty much any of the shaken iced teas they do are right over the plate, but the green tea lemonade is by far the best. Friend sees the barista making this with bananas and stuff, they approve - and have no idea you’re drinking a chocolate milkshake. You want to go to Starbucks, they say it’s not healthy, you say they have smoothies now with all the protein and junk, they agree. One could really call this Starbucks’ “stealth treat.” Say you finish working out with one of your friends who does that CrossFit nonsense. The matcha green tea has that exact flavor that can make a frappuccino way more than a frappuccino. Not only is the Green Tea Frappe one of the best non-coffee drinks, it’s a contender for best drink on the menu - period. Ask them to make it grande and you’ve got yourself a nice little pumpkin spice treat. It’s like the PSL but just made with the cream and spices. But what if you want to skip to just the pumpkin part? Squirreled away on the Kid’s Menu is this little gem. ![]() Pumpkin Spice CrèmeĮveryone knows the PSL, it’s kind of a thing. Much better than the one with seeds in it. It’s a great balance and actually has strawberries. The Refreshers were sort of touch-and-go at first, but the Strawberry Acai somewhat saved the situation. Golden Ginger Ale is the top of the heap in that category. Soda at Starbucks? Now that the Fizzio hand-crafted sodas are here, that’s a thing. But what about the other drinks on the menu? Do they nail it or fail it? Golden Ginger Ale Fizzio We all know Starbucks makes amazing coffee. If you purchase something through our posts, we may receive a commission at no extra charge to you. So moral of the story, if you order a drink with strawberry they’ll either ask you how you want it flavored or simply surprise you in a number of ways.* Products recommended in the post contain affiliate links. I’d attempted to order strawberry again without specifying ‘base’, not knowing I had to, and got this. This is one of the two other drinks I mentioned above. If you try ordering this you HAVE to let me know what happens in the comments below! Iced Green Tea with Strawberry Puree The “base” must be from another drink specifically, but that genius barista made a good call by adding it here. Puree is chunky and the strawberries are the dried strawberries used in the Pink Drink. However, on the app I’m only seeing “Strawberries” or “Strawberry Puree” as options, and I know neither of those are the same as “Strawberry Base”. Long Story: I asked a barista once if they have strawberry flavoring and he was like, “oh yea! I can add the strawberry base to it!” This drink is what I got, and it was AWESOME. Short story: this drink was a fluke, but I plan to order it again using this photo as reference and see what happens.
