at 100 Days of Real Food and Food Babe , I got the REAL info about Starbucks REFRESHERS (a new drink with a description that had REAL HEALTH promise!)!

Actual Ingredients List!

I searched and searched for the nutrition information, but in the end, relied on the Starbucks description for my previous, REMOVED post: ..."I am curious about ingredients LIST, haven't seen that yet" Vani got the scoop reading the BOX the barista was using! For other drink ingredients, she direct emailed Starbucks Customer Service -- smart woman!

The hip new drink CLAIMS ... FRUIT, Cucumber, REAL fruit juice, and MINT, as well as an ingredient called GREEN COFFEE EXTRACT , which may be a really healthy substance! But here are the facts!
NO - fresh fruit, herbs, juice!
YES - sugar as the top ingredient (other than water).
NO - green coffee extract!
YES - "green coffee flavor".
But GREEN COFFEE EXTRACT has NO flavor, so what's the point?!
Unfortunately Unhealthy Option :(

Cool Lime Starbucks Refresher
Made me think MOJITO ...boo-hoo :(

Instead of a pricey Kool-Aid drink, why not get some GREEN TEA and splurge on a yummy pack of Peeled dried mango! for a YUMMY STARBUCKS SNACK !

100 Days is an AWESOME WEBSITE ! and

Food Babe does investigations on different topics for 100 Days. Vani ( Food Babe ) has a blog that looks pretty awesome as well -- Great recipes, visuals, and detailed information!
COMMENTS: I try hard to tell people what TO EAT, rather than what NOT TO, more fun and positive! However, since I recommended this drink last week, I really thought I should correct myself with my new knowledge of the products! On the bright side, perhaps, I will come up with a great drink, from Starbucks lovely Refreshers descriptions! Which drink looks better to you?!
