I just saw this article: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703734504575126040136069052.html
Vegan Frap's! Finally! Expensive but so delicious :)
they switched from silk to something else. i'm not sure how sweet it is compared to silk though.
I hope it's a lot less sweet. I'll have to try, because I agree that the lattes made with Silk were crazy sweet.
Relative sweetness depends whether you're in Canada or the US. In Canada they used to use plain, and vanilla in the states. The new stuff they're using is less sweet than vanilla Silk, but sweeter than plain Silk. I don't mind it too much... but I do sometimes get an extra shot, and I never add sugar/syrups.
ive tried a couple of these. im so over them. i dont even like the coffee, but i was excited about the strawberries and creme one! you have to watch the baristas like hawks because most of them don't care whats going on as far as dairy contamination (except for the rare vegan one of course!!) i got sent a gift card because i actually threw up after one of them...im not sure what to do with the card now :p
anyway, if you know a good barista theyre tasty cold liquid candy.otherwise...be careful!! or youll end up feeling like you just sucked on a cow's titty. maybe i'm just unlucky.
You can always send that gift card my way, lol! I'm a coffee lover! Yeah, I always watch them as they're making mine and never let my eyes off of them. I've had to have them redo it so many times because they've added dairy.
ok, so not about fraps, but all the starbucks by me stopped carrying the lucy's cookies. boo
vegan fraps rule! stop being haters! JK but i love fraps! Strawberries and Cream and Vanilla Bean are my favorite!
Chocolate. Curls.
Blended with a coffee frap.
Pretty much equal to a java chip frap.
Not all places have the curls though. omnomnom.
I found out they have to call the double chocolaty chip frap "chocolaty" as opposed to chocolate, because it isn't actually chocolate. Haha. Lolgross.
just thought I would mention that the carmel sauce on top of the caramel fraps isn't vegan, neither is the cinnamon dolce syrup I saw someone mention earlier in the thread :(
really? what's in the cinnamon dolce now?
those syrups are tricky. one might assume because they're sugar syrups they're all cool, but then there was that toffee nut one with the dairy allergy.
What is it in the toffee nut that has dairy? I can't find anything on the interwebs.
it had an allergen warning regarding dairy, i think (like the ones on packaged foods now - "contains: dairy, tree nuts" or something like that). But I think heathb mentioned something about it changing?
eh, it was a crappy flavor anyway. it's all about hazelnut.
I didn't see anything on it when I went. The people there said it was legit and they're knowledgable on vegan things. I hope it did change.
You can make a captain crunch frap with it. IT TASTES LIKE CAPTAIN CRUNCHH.
But true facts on hazelnut. The toffee is only for that frap, hazelnut in everrryything else.
captain... crunch... frap? how does this happen?
we made "kool-aid" once - passion tea with orange syrup (when they had it) and raspberry syrup
Its a strawberry frap with toffee syrup. Its kind of freaky good.
And, the plus is, you need to get it with soy or it doesnt taste good, according to 2 friends.
I get what my friend named christmas. Passion tea/ apple juice, with a splash of green tea, 5 pumps raspberry, 1 pump classic, and a tiny tiny bit of strawberry. (For a tall)
I am intrigued by this koolaid you speak of. I wonder if it'll be the same with a bit of orange juice?
hah, it would probably taste better with OJ. The one we made tasted like sugary plastic.
other weird drinks i made:
peppermint green tea latte*
hot chocolate with matcha
chocolate strawberries n cream
espresso banana vivanno
raspberry black tea•
chocolate macchiato*
*excellent
•DON'T DO IT
Wow, do you really stand there and ask for a 100% customized drink? lol! I'd be afraid they'd get lost in all of the info. The workers at my local-ish Starbucks usually aren't that bright, they have a revolving door of workers.
She used to work there.
Ohhhhh okay, that makes much more sense, thank you.
yeah, even when i worked there i wouldn't usually order from my co-workers when off shift. much as i liked them, like any starbucks employee, they usually got something wrong (& non-vegan). Except the other vegan there. She was awesome.
I'm going to tell my friend about the hot chocolate matcha. Sounds good.
And chocolate macchiato sounds yum. Hmm.
I read the toffee nut ingredients tonight and I didn't see anything scary and non vegan. so. CAPTAIN CRUNCH FRAPS FOR ALL.

I usually get really weird things like that. But I go all the time so I don't really think of it, when I go to other places I confuse them sometimes but whatever. Hah.
We had to get a cup and draw on the measurements for the christmas tea for some one before. Haha.
Usually they think I work there. They don't know that I just live there.
