Back in January, I drove up to a Steak 'n Shake to grab a milkshake and had the drive thru window slammed in my face because I  wouldn't go back around and order through the speaker (I'm deaf).  After discovering Starbucks Blended Creme Frappuccinos, I'm thinking that I never have to go through a Steak 'n Shake drive thru ever again.

The Starbucks Blended Cremes taste just as good as a milkshake!

A 12-ounce size features 340 calories (90 of them from fat), so I won't be indulging in these all too often.  The ingredients are simple: vanilla bean, milk and whipped cream.  However, skipping the whipped cream brings it down to 260, a much more reasonable amount.

At $3.22 per drink, that's another reason that this drink will be an occasional indulgence, but heck-- I don't have too many other vices so it's a good treat now and then!

I hope you reported that person's bad manners to the Management at Steak & Shake!

This really rings a bell with all us JPV (Just Plain Vanilla) fans! I love these things and I'm glad I only get to Starbucks once or twice a month because they are just the Vanilla Frappes are just too hard to pass up.

These are popular but my antiquated taste buds never got the hang of them, I do add vanilla to my coffee though ;)

For a short time in college I was addicted to these! Tastes great and gives you that nice "kick" :)
