i was offered one of each of these (tiny size w/ tiny straws!) at the Starbucks inside my Kroger grocery store. they aren’t really that horrible but they aren’t worth purchasing. in fact, i really doubt i would take another free one. the orange/banana/mango tastes like bits of those three fruits was blended with water and poured into a cup. the chocolate banana one (why don’t they have a banana-free edition?) tasted like chocolate powder and banana juice. skip them.

I like ‘Bucks vente’ house blend.
22oz. with a whopping 2200 mils of caffeine for 1.09.
And refills at .54 you can pee all day while grinding your teeth.

@Peachy – I wish I were not lazy like you.

@LUCKYLADY – No, I tried them at another Starbucks later on and they were the same.

Maybe its the store because in this small town I have had 3 of the bananna mango and both my husband and I really like them

I can bust out my own protein powder and fruit in my blender at home for waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay less than $4 and way less carbs and sugar. Sheesh!

@Lex – Thanks for that info. My mouth is puckering with anticipation to try that.

@Alisha – Mmm… it’s like Mylanta.

@Shannon – I guess mathematically someone had to like them.

@phquaryn – 1 cup Silk Very Vanilla soy milk, six medium-sized frozen strawberries, one medium-sized whole banana, a tablespoon of peanut butter, and six ice cubes. Blend well.

@Mal – I say she should of spit it out into the bushes that way they also get watered.

I tried the Chocolate banana smoothie today- It really was watery, under-flavored, and just really gross. I let my friend try some, and she almost spit it into the bushes! I would say pass on this, because even though banana chocolate sounds appealing, it isn’t.

Screw the Vivanno, I want a Marvo smoothie – can you give more detail on that recipe? I think I got the proportions wrong.

Its the blended lemonade. The strawberry lemonade isn’t on the menu you just have to ask for it. :)

@Chavi – I thought about getting the shot of espresso too, but I figured I wanted to keep it pure. From the many reviews I’ve read about them, they don’t seem too popular.

@Armauld – The shittier Starbucks are in shopping malls because they always seem to be crowded and full of people who want to look like they’re studying, but I asked myself how can they study when it’s so noisy around them.

@Lex – It must be really good because you’re the third person to mention the blended strawberry lemonade to me. I haven’t tried it yet, but I don’t think it’s on the menu here.

@Chuck -You can get some caffeine with the banana chocolate one if you get the espresso shot, but it isn’t much.

@ie – I agree, Starbucks should stick with what they know best…taking over the world.

@Kylie – If it were a love letter, he would be much steamier, like a Harlequin romance novel with excessive use of the word “manhood.”

@Molly – We went to the Starbucks at Kahala Mall, but when we got there they ran out of bananas so they gave us a coupon for a free one. These were not worth the effort.

@K.C – Come on. You got to review the latest and the greatest. Money should be no object. Unless it costs over 20 bucks.

@Aimee – I never took the Italian school, but I’m pretty sure Vivanno means getting screwed. The Vs represent and orifice, while the I is what screws you.

@paris herpes – The only smoothie I make is my strawberry banana soy smoothie, which consists of frozen strawberries, one whole banana, peanut butter, ice and Silk Very Vanilla soy milk. It’s the shiznit.

Starbucks sucks. I make my own coffee usually or go to the many indie coffee shops around where I live, and as for smoothies, I either make my own or go to Sidewalk Juices, they make really good smoothies! Or Estela’s, but they’re expensive. It’s a bit cheaper to make your own as long as you use cheap fruit.

I hate hate hate HATE drinking banana. Some things just should not be liquefied & then drank.

The Italian translation of Vivanno is “overpriced underflavored shake”???

Oh, I was going to review those for my site but, when I saw the price I thought to myself there is no way this is going to be good enough for me to pay that price. I think I’ll get my lattes and tea from Starbucks and leave the smoothies to Tropical Smoothie Cafe
