Is it just me, or does everyone jump at the chance to be amongst the first to try a cool new drink or food item? Just me? Oh, ok…. Well, Yesterday, Starbucks added it’s newest item to the Summer lineup; the Strawberry Funnel Cake Frappuccino, and it’s only here for a limited time! I mean, who doesn’t love Funnel Cakes and Strawberries? They’re kind of on the Summer ‘must have list’.
The drink is made up of swirls of Strawberry purée, funnel cake flavored Frappuccino and topped with whipped cream, crunchy powered sugar and funnel cake pieces.
But is it worth the fuss? Ehhhh, depends on who you ask. For me, it was just ok. I didn’t taste funnel cake at all, actually. It was more like graham crackers and strawberries (I did like the taste of the purée though). Not too sweet, but you could bet the amount of sugar and carbs in this thing is well above the healthy level (but hey, we’re allowed to treat ourselves every now and again, right?)
Would I go back for seconds? Not likely. One, because these types of snacks just aren’t going to get me to my fitness goals any sooner (a shame, I know 😩). And two, it just didn’t fully meet my expectations. I was looking for that, ‘A day at the carnival, funnel cake, juicy strawberry explosion in my mouth’ feeling. But nah, that’s not what happened. But nonetheless, go give it a try and let me know what you think! And hurry, they won’t be around long!
And don’t forget to head on over to HEADSLAY for some cool accessories and Dad Caps!
