Starbucks Frappuccino Coffee Drink Review

I'll make this simple: I really don't like the taste of coffee. In order to get that jolt of energy, I must add in as much chocolate and extra calories as humanly possible. I've tried to take my coffee without it, but it just tastes...bad.

In the store, I ran across the dark chocolate mocha frappuccino from Starbucks. I love the Starbucks Java Chip frap, and I figured...what the hey. I'm tired. It's on sale. Let's go. I loved their chocolate mint frappuccino, so why not?

With one sip I'm in love. It tastes a bit watered down, but hey. It's cheaper than waiting in a drive-thru line at our local Starbucks. It gives me just enough caffeine to keep me going for a tired morning, especially the morning after my son decided to wake up at 3:00 in the morning to let us know that there was a train.

However, I'll let you know right away - If you're a coffee lover, you're going to be disappointed. It's not overwhelming coffee flavored. I found it around $2.00/bottle, which makes it a pretty pricy morning drink to have every morning. I now keep them around for the "emergency" mornings. 

What I love are the nutrition facts.

Serving Size: 1 13.7 oz bottle  (FINALLY! A company who matches the serving size with the bottle. Some companies like to fool you in thinking that one serving size is 8 ounces of a 13 ounce bottle. Yeah, right.)

Calories: 280 (to compare, my favorite Java chip frap at 16 oz has nearly 500 calories!)

Total Fat: 4.5 g (that Java chip has nearly 20!)

I could go on and on and on.

Overall - try this drink. Don't expect fresh brewed coffee, but expect to get a nice zing of caffeine with your morning frap. If you have to indulge, indulge in this!
