Food: Starbucks Frappuccino

It’s now summer. The temperature flirts with 90 most days. And just when you think you’ll melt into a little puddle of blog reader, a Seattle landmark comes to your rescue.

No, not the Space Needle. Starbucks, with an icy cold Frappuccino.

They come in a variety of flavors, from the popular mocha to mint mocha chip with chocolate whipped cream. Really. There are blended creme varieties (try the strawberries & creme, trust me) and a blended lemonade flavor. There are even light varieties with as few as 110 calories. Just remember to say no to the whipped cream.

Now, don’t confuse this with the bottled drink of the same name you can buy in the grocery store. That’s made by Pepsi, and has different ingredients from the Starbucks version.

Today, the high temperature is supposed to reach the upper 80s. Say…care to meet me at Starbucks for an icy, refreshing, delicious Frappuccino?
