Starbucks Summer 2015: New Food Items & Beverages

Starbucks fans, don’t forget to try new handcrafted beverages from Starbucks. These are only until June 8, 2015 which I guess marks the end of the summer season.

From the website:

SUMMER BERRY PANNA COTTA FRAPPUCCINO® BLENDED BEVERAGE – P170
Our cream Frappuccino® blended beverage is layered with delicious panna cotta pudding and tart summer berry sauce. Topped with whipped cream and berry drizzle to make the perfect summer beverage.

DARK MOCHA PANNA COTTA FRAPPUCCINO® BLENDED BEVERAGE – P180
We start with a layer of panna cotta pudding, followed by a decadent Dark Mocha Frappuccino® blended beverage. To finish the beverage to perfection, it is topped with whipped cream and a dusting of dark mocha powder.

I missed the buy 1 take 1 promotion called “Frappuccino & Friends” and there was also the Happy Hour. Note to self: Always check Starbucks Philippines Facebook page. According to the page, no planned “happy hours” this May. Good thing I keep earning rewards on my SB cards:

1 star nalang and I get a FREE grande handcrafted beverage! Maybe I’d get the Summer Berry Panna Cotta Frappuccino.

Now 11 cards because I got this new & cute Starbucks card called “Celebration” but I call it my Katy Perry card 😀

I recently adapted a healthy lifestyle and shed a few pounds along the way. Just discovered that you can find out how many calories your favorite Starbucks beverage cost and how you can trim it down (go here: www.starbucks.com/menu/) .

I always order my drinks with soy milk and “unsweetened”.  Here’s an example:

That said, you can very much enjoy coffee time at Starbucks without worrying about your summer diet 😉
