Of all the things people ask me about on a regular basis, my cliche coffee/tea pictures on my instagram story are, like, the number one thing. It seems that as much as post them they still get these "WHAT DRINK IS THIS?!?!?!" responses. So, here's the rundown on my apparently very alarming Starbucks orders.
Probably my most basic daily order is my cold brew with coconut milk. I'm lactose intolerant, so anytime I can find a coffee that actually tastes good with dairy alternatives I geek out about it. If you love coffee, and you want to feel like you're drinking it iced out of a coconut in the Bahamas then trust me on this one. I get this unsweetened, but if you want to get crazy and add a pump of vanilla, be my guest. Life hack: if your coffee shop is out of cold brew ask for iced coffee with a shot of espresso. Up next is virtually the best drink for summer of all time. Order a strawberry açaí refresher with coconut milk instead of water. It's called a "pink drink". It's delicious, has some caffeine (green coffee extract), and is dairy free! The pink drink is quite possibly my favorite drink of the summer. You can also try this with the other refreshers as well! Last, but certainly not least is the green tea latte! One of my favorite drinks of all time because of the health benefits, and it's versatility. In the summer I order it iced with soy milk and no classic syrup. I love this drink because you can dress it up, or dress it down. In the winter I love ordering it hot with one pump of vanilla, and some cinnamon. In the summer I get it with no extras, and the soy milk helps to cut the earthy taste of it a little bit. It's great with coconut or regular milk as well (I wouldn't try it with almond first honestly, unless you're just super into almond milk.) Matcha is so good for you. It has antioxidants, gives you a caffeine boost without a crash, and can even help your metabolism! Disclaimer: These are just things I like! Really though, search "health benefits of matcha" and you'll be amazed. I drink it almost every day in some shape or form. Experiment with your coffee orders this summer! Sometimes it's the only small indulgence we allow ourselves in a day, so make the most of it!
