Starbucks Secret Menu: Butterscotch Frappuccino

Love Starbucks? Then this applies to you. Keep reading!

Some Starbucks customers, i.e., coffee/espresso/tea addicts, are aware of the Starbucks Secret Menu. It’s not affiliated with Starbucks Corporation, rather, it's more like a coffee/espresso/tea underground. LOL. If you ask for a secret menu drink, there's a very small chance that it will be recognized in store unless your Barista is aware of the secret item, so eliminate possible confusion and just ask for specific drink ingredients to make whatever treat you want. I was introduced to the menu when I tried the Chess mocha, an equal blend of white and regular mocha. It’s as good as the regular mocha and is a bit milder. 

Healthy drink tips:

• Ask for a tall or mini/short size (ingredients are half of a tall drink).
• ​Ask for sugar free alternatives if you want to be more mindful of your sugar intake. (Though the real thing tastes so much better)
• Request decaf or "half caf/half decaf" to reduce caffeine overload. 
• Request skim milk instead of whole milk.
• Skip whipped cream...that's an extra 100 calories.
• Enjoy in moderation. Unless this is part of your winter hibernation plan.

Here's a sweet recipe that you're sure to love...
