Do you get any coffee-free frapps from starbucks? Do you like them? I have tried the strawberries & cream frapp and also the double chocolately chip one but they both seem kind of watered down for my taste. I'm just waiting to be impressed by starbucks, so many people love it but I am yet to find any of their drinks that I love.

I'm not a fan of the coffee-free ones because I feel like if I'm paying $3-4 for a drink, it should have caffeine! Do you like chai tea lattes? You can get them iced and they're coffee-free but there is some caffeine from the black tea. Today I tried the new drink (called refreshers, or something similar), which was pretty good--like a yummy fruit juice with fruit in it. I'm not sure if it counts as coffee or no, since the signs say it has "green coffee extract" or something weird like that.

@tororojo: I'm pretty sure the new refreshers are caffeine-free! ETA: Nevermind. I just looked it up and they do have a little caffeine in them.
The only cream-based frap I like is the Pumpkin Spice Blended Cream. The cream base is so bad for you, though; I can only justify having a frap a couple times a year because they are so high in calories and fat. Sigh.

LOVE the Vanilla Bean frap.
-
I don't like Starbucks at all! Their drinks are too expensive and aren't that good in my opinion.
If you want something delicious that's caffeine free, try Dunkin's Orange and Vanilla Bean Coolatta - tastes just like a creamsicle!
-
@Adira: yeah I am also not impressed with any of their drinks so far.
@tororojo: I have tried their chai teas, but since it has caffeine I will just avoid it. I did want to try their refresher but it has some type of green coffee extract. I dont know what that means so I just avoided it
@Honeybee: Maybe I will try that pumkin one and see if I like it..@Arden: Does it taste watered down? -
i LOVE the double chocolate chip frap! the starbucks by my house makes them just right. some places do make them super watery though.
-
@Mrsbells: I'm with @tororojo: in that if I'm paying $3-4 for a drink, it should have coffee in it. I always get the caramel macchiato.
@Adira: Oooh, I love creamsicle! Gonna have to try that.
-
@eiko2010: You will be AMAZED at how good it is!
-
I love their strawberries and cream one, but it definitely depends who makes it on how strong it tastes. I try not to get them very often after finding out the sugar content... oy. I am not a coffee drinker though - so I was happy to find something tasty to order when meetings are held there.
-
Ugh it turns out the double cholately chip frapp does have a small amount of caffeine. Wonder why they didnt tell me that when I asked them
-
@Mrsbells: It has chocolate in it, so that's probably where the caffeine comes from.
-
@Mrsbells: it's like 10-15mg which is practically nothing.
-
@Honeybee: Could be...
-
@photojane: oh I see.. thanks for explaining that
-
The refreshers have more caffeine than the regular coffee drinks because it is using green coffee bean extract. The less roasted s bean is, the more caffeine it contains.
-
I'm not a frappuchino fan, caffeine or not. They don't have a lot of flavor to me.
-
The caffiene free ones are always weird tasting. I LOVE me a caramel frappucinno light with extra drizzle though
-
They do decaf frapps! My faves are java chip and reg coffee.
-
I haven't found a COFFEE free one that I like. However, you CAN order Decaf frappucinos, as far as I know. All decaf coffee has a small amount of caffeine (same amount as in a chocolate bar), but that way, you can have your coffee taste, with very little of the caffeine.
Caramel Light Frappucino is my favourite...and without drizzle or whipped cream, its' only 4 WW points!
-
The ones I have arent caffeine free, they are coffee-free, as in just cream and then chocolate chips etc with no coffee at all.
My new favorite is the cookie crumble frapp. Yummy. I realized a different startbucks closer to me makes it much nicer and not so watered down. I guess some places put more ice in it than other places -
I get all mine decaf from there and they taste great!
-
I read this as Coffee: Free Frappes from Starbucks, like that they were giving out free ones. <sadtrombone>

@Rachel: Lol!
