The Top Five Non-Coffee Drinks at Starbucks

If you're not a coffee drinker you may have steered clear from the infamous Starbucks in your area. What you may not be aware of is that Starbucks offers a variety of non-coffee drinks that are absolutely delicious and worth the ridiculous five dollar price tag... almost.

#1 Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino: This delectable and beyond chocolaty fantasy is like a milkshake but lighter fare as it's made with ice and milk and of course pulverized chocolate chips throughout. It's so tasty I find myself having one at least twice a month. If it's summertime I may even go up to weekly.

#2 Caramel Brulee Frappuccino Blended Crème Light: For those of you who are calorie conscience you can take the worry out of killing your diet with this drink that takes out a whopping percentage of the calorie by using their lower calorie crème blend. I have to say I didn't notice a lot of difference in taste but the scale noticed.

#3 Pumpkin or Peppermint Hot Chocolate: During the holidays Starbucks brings to life their yummy pumpkin and peppermint syrups to dazzle a yummy but oh so humbug regular hot chocolate. I like the variety and the tasty additions bring home the holidays in a cup.

#4 Strawberry Banana Vivanno™ Smoothie: This smoothie is not only healthy but really satisfying. It makes a great meal substitute and you won't be left feeling the sugar overload that some of the above drinks can give you. It's especially good in the summertime and on roadtrips when you don't want to stop for long to satisfy your tummy.

#5 Banana Chocolate Vivanno™ Smoothie: This reminds me of a banana split every time I have one. A little heavier than its Strawberry Banana sister, this smoothie is really feeling and yet I still feel naughty due to the chocolate base. Super filling but smooth as a smoothie you'll love this treat and won't want to skip breakfast after being satisfied by this tall drink of banana.

Regardless if you pass on the caffeine, there is no reason to drive past Starbucks anymore! You can find some great non-coffee options anytime and all the time at your nearby Starbucks.
