Should have known! ...a drink offered FREE on Friday the 13th would be bad luck!
Thanks to Lisa and Vani
at 100 Days of Real Food and Food Babe, I got the REAL info about Starbucks REFRESHERS (a new drink with a description that had REAL HEALTH promise!)!
 |
From 100 Days of Real Food and Food Babe! |
Actual Ingredients List!
 |
Here is the full post, which also includes reviews of several other Starbucks products! |
I searched and searched for the nutrition information,
but in the end, relied on the Starbucks description for my previous, REMOVED post:..."I am curious about ingredients LIST, haven't seen that yet". Vani got the scoop reading the BOX the barista was using! For other drink ingredients, she direct emailed Starbucks Customer Service -- smart woman!
The hip new drink CLAIMS...RUIT, Cucumber, REAL fruit juice, and MINT, as well as an ingredient called GREEN COFFEE EXTRACT, which may be a really healthy substance. Here are the facts!
NO - fresh fruit, herbs, juice!
YES - sugar as the top ingredient (other than water).
NO - green coffee extract!
YES - "green coffee flavor".
But GREEN COFFEE EXTRACT has NO flavor, so what's the point?!
Unfortunately Unhealthy Option :(

| Very Berry Hibiscus Starbucks Refresher Made me think SANGRIA ...darn :( Click here for a Berry post! |
 |
| Cool Lime Starbucks Refresher Made me think MOJITO ...boo-hoo :( |
Vani (Food Babe) does investigations on different topics for 100 Days, and she has a blog that looks pretty awesome as well, with great recipes, visuals, and detailed information!
COMMENTS: I try hard to tell people what TO EAT, rather than what NOT TO, more fun and positive! However, since I recommended this drink last week, I really thought I should correct myself with my new knowledge of the products! On the bright side, perhaps, I will come up with a great drink, from Starbucks lovely Refreshers descriptions! Which drink looks better to you?!
