Curb Your Cravings

There are several alternatives to help curb your cravings out there.  For example, QuikTrip (QT) gas station also have a Frozen Cappuccino machine.  It's only a couple of bucks so it is almost just half the price of a Starbucks Frappucino.  I really really tried to get hooked on this instead but it just was not quite there yet.  Let me see if I can describe how it tastes.  Imagine a very light coffee in the Slurpee machine with double the cream and some sugar.  It is blended to a very smooth consistency and goes down very well.  Maybe it is just too creamy and not as rich in coffee flavor as the Starbucks version but this might help others out there that may want to slowly stop their Starbucks addiction.  I view the Frozen Cappuccino from QT as a nicotine patch for cigarettes.  It didn't work for me but it might for you.  Good luck...

I used to live in Missouri, near a Quik Trip. I've moved to another state with no QT. Of all the things that I miss about my home state, QT's Frozen Cappuccino ranks among the top. Don't let anyone kid you, for my taste buds, I think the this drink offered by QT is superior to Starbucks (and I've had both). To me, Starbucks' Frappawhatever is an expensive imitation of what QT offers for a great price. To be sure, there are Starbucks in this area, but I really miss (and crave) a Frozen Cappuccino from Quik Trip.

I moved from Dallas to Los Angeles and I am miss the QT Frozen Cappuccino as well. I often drink more then I eat, so the large size and cost are important to me. The QT is pretty damn good for the price and a much better value then the Starbucks one. I just wish I could find the same drink in Los Angeles..

Java Chip with CARAMEL DRIZZLE!

It's been 7  years since I last posted here!  And it's taken that long for me to finally found something that is better than the Coffee Frapp.  It's our good old friend the Java Chip Frapp.  But the key factor is to use the caramel drizzle.  With that, it made the balance of sweet and bitterness into an amazing harmony.  Can't believe it took me 7 years to figure this out.

Venti White Mocha Frappacino Half-Ice Shot of Espresso Shot of Caramel

One of the greatest drinks around.  This will give a whole different feel than the baseline Coffee Frappucino.  It's over the top mixture of sweetness with the right detail of bitterness from the expresso.  This will kick you onto the wall and you wouldn't want to get down.  The half-ice makes sure the intense flavor is unforgiving and will smash your head in like a gold brick wrapped in caramel.  You haven't experienced the Venti White Mocha Frappacino Half-Ice Shot of Espresso Shot of Caramel until you had the Venti White Mocha Frappacino Half-Ice Shot of Espresso Shot of Caramel.  Now set the cup down and slowly walk away. Don't turn back because you will never win...

The Magnificent Grande Coffee Frappuccino

The Coffee Frappucino have got to be one of the best drink at Starbucks.  I can't fathom how I can beat this addiction of this great drink.  It has all the characteristics that make it stand out amongst the best.  Sipping it sends me to a state of euphoria.  The right amount of creaminess meshes perfectly with the blended ice crystals that gives it the right about of texture.  The amount of caffeine and sugar gives you the necessary boost while the refreshing coolness bolster your spirit and keep the summer at bay.  A friend told me the beans for the Coffee Frappucino was hand picked by smooth linen clothed angels riding golden tricycles on the very top of a beautiful plateau while singing the ballad of the heavens and I believe him...  How can I say no to this incredible mixture from the hands of angels?  I haven't figure that one out yet...
