Not your usual cup of coffee...
I know I've mentioned it once or twice, but with being pregnant I can't stand the taste or smell of coffee. Which is sad since I used to drink it every day. Along with not enjoying my daily cup of coffee I also suffered from caffeine withdrawal at first. Carbonated beverages bother me too. Even sparkling water. So no soda. I think this baby is trying to break me of all my bad habits.
But I found something so tasty and delicious. A Venti Starbucks refresher has 85 mg of caffeine. Which is less than an 8 oz cup of regular coffee so it's well within the limited amount I can have. I'm in love. It's made from the green coffee beans before they are roasted so it doesn't taste like coffee. Having been caffeine deprived for at least 9 weeks, I only need one of these babies to keep me going the rest of the afternoon and evening.
I think they sell them as drink mix-ins too like the crystal light packets. If so I may need to buy some to limit my spending at Starbucks. We have one on campus so it's all to easy to walk over there every day. Anyone else tried these? My favorite is to get half lime and half very berry. The lime is too strong for me and the berry is almost not strong enough. Together they taste kind of like a berry-limeade.
Re: Not your usual cup of coffee...
This is exactly what I thought when I tried them. I never considered mixing the two!
I never would have either. We have an awesome barista(sp?) at the location here on campus. She gave me a sample of each when I said I wanted one but have never tried it. Then she said let me show you how I like it, and it was the mixed one. She also said "if you don't like it, I can make you something else".
