Daily Quickie: Starbucks' Bottled Frappuccino Light
Daily Quickie will be a short tag on the title which I'll use for blog entries about food I'm snacking at home, work or anywhere.
Last week our family friend who shared us the delicious Roasted Chicken from S&R, gave us another set of treats from the same members-only warehouse shopping destination.
This time though, it's not another viand item but sweet snacks -- a canister of Royal Dansk Luxury Chocolate Wafer Cookies and a set of four bottles of Starbucks' Bottled Frappuccino Light in Mocha.
The Royal Dansk canister wasn't such a big deal for me and my lil sis since we are used to Royal Dansk's butter cookies, but the Starbucks set was unexpected. I didn't even know that Starbucks has bottled frappuccino beverages for sale.
A bottle of Starbucks' Frappuccino Light in Mocha is pure love for me though. This drink is just so satisfying, creamy and smooth with just the right amount of sweetness. Although it's mocha-flavored, it lived up to its claim of being a light drink -- both in taste and in calories. Each 281 mL bottle only has 100 calories, that's 40% fewer calories and 60% less sugar for a Starbucks frappuccino since it's sweetened with Splenda and made creamy with low-fat milk.
I totally dig this drink and I find it better than the cold coffee beverages I order in Starbucks stores. The packaging is also really nice -- small but classy and very interesting. It would actually give one an idea on how to decorate a coffee table. With just a little tweaking and DIY pimping, I bet this would be a nice vase for flowers or colored marbles. Too bad though, I'm not sure though if it's available in other stores, except S&R.
If you know where to get this lovely drink, please let me know. Thanks!

I think I've seen these in Rustan's. Even the Tropical Hut grocery near my house had it before! :)
ReplyDeleteSuuummmiii!!! I'm super addicted to their bottled Fraps. Last August, hanap ako nang hanap nasa S&R lang pala :B
ReplyDeleteAvailable yan sa Ibang groceries. Nakikita ko sya sa landmark.
ReplyDeleteim a fan too! mas gusto ko yan kesa yung frap sa stores! =)
ReplyDeleteTried the bottled starbucks before.. Agree it was so creamy and light.. Best when added with ice :)
ReplyDeletei didn't know that starbucks has this, ang cute ng bottle.
ReplyDeleteIt was funny coz a supplier from work gifted me with 2 packs of this and so I raided local Starbucks for this to no avail. I was depressed for days not being able to find them 'til I accidentally bumped into them at S&R's!!! Para akong maubusan coz I bought too much for a single receipt...hehehe...Super yummy nga sya compared to the one served in stores :D
ReplyDeleteSelect Robinsons and SM grocery stores sell those. But individually, not in packs of 4. =)
ReplyDeleteI've seen bottled Starbucks in 7-Eleven and SM Supermarket. :)
ReplyDeleteI'll take the wafer cookies. :)
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo, 40% less cal and 60% less sugar? That's something. Too bad I don't really drink coffee.
I love 'em too! You can purchase them in Rustans, shopwise. I recently bought some in Subic Duty Free when we were on vacay. btw sis. can we link ex? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing where to find the Starbucks' bottled bevs everyone! :) I just realized how unupdated I am with new grocery products.. haha.. XD
ReplyDeleteMy soon to be mother in law is addicted to this!

Hmmm.. This is yumm! Its creaminess and sweetness are of just the right amount. No more, no less :)
ReplyDeleteSnR stores only as far as I know :)
ReplyDeleteI loooooove this drink! But it's quite expensive to regularly drink :)) it goes perfect with sugar bowl bakery's madeleines. Which by the way you should try and make a review of! :D go buy in SNR hope you can do a review on that one :D
ReplyDeleteThere aren't much of these in stores yet! I hope they would hold these in groceries already!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know they had this. This is a must-try!
