As someone who hasn't really been a Frappuccino person since high school (I know, I know!), I am always on the lookout for new things I can order from Starbucks as a treat, and with these two being added, I now have plenty of delicious options. Ultimately, you can't go wrong with either of these beverages It'll just come down to preference for you! I would order either again depending on how I am feeling or what I am eating or doing that day. Seriously, this one is really something special, especially if you're typically not into sweet drinks.
It was light enough to sip as an afternoon pick-me-up, but also made me delay my afternoon snack by like an hour 'cause it was still filling. You can also absolutely taste the espresso, which I personally love. I created a list of Weight Watchers Starbucks Drink Guide to help you stay on track with a points guide to just about every Starbucks drink you. This is wild to me because I usually prefer almond to oat milk! It's only lightly sweet but has notes of oats and brown sugar to make you feel like you're having a treat. Weight Watchers is a great program to be on because you can still enjoy the foods and drinks you love especially if you have a Starbucks addiction but those drinks can rack up in calories and points.
If you're a dark chocolate lover or just have a sweet tooth, this one is for you!īecause I am a nice partner, I ended up handing that one over to my fiancé to finish because I am now FULLY obsessed with the Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso. In fact, it tasted just like chocolate malt (which makes sense since Starbucks said there were notes of malt in the drink!) and reminded me of my favorite treats from my hometown candy shop (shoutout Sarris Candies!). I should preface this by saying I typically drink my coffee black, so this one was a TOUCH too sweet for me, but still plenty delicious. I am a HUGE fan of the Cold Brew With Dark Cocoa Almond Foam released last year, and this is just basically its high-end cousin. But now onto the important part: How do they taste? I had to try the Iced Chocolate Almondmilk Shaken Espresso first and after giving it a quick swirl to mix it up, I was immediately hit with chocolate flavor.
