FAST FOOD NEWS: The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Cookie Butter Latte

/ / Fast Food News / 2 Comments

The Coffee Bean Tea Leaf Cookie Butter Latte and Cookie Butter Ice Blended Drink

With the presence of Starbucks seemingly everywhere, I sometimes forget about The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (even though there are two locations with 1.5 miles from me right now). But the coffee and tea chain has caught my attention with their new Cookie Butter Latte.

It combines The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf’s premium espresso, brown sugar, and gingerbread with cinnamon sugar sprinkled on top. The flavor is also available as an Ice Blended drink that’s topped with whipped cream and cinnamon sugar.

The cookie butter-flavored beverages will be available until December 28.

If you’ve tried either one, let us know what you think of it in the comments.

QUICK YOGURT REVIEW: Yoplait Plenti Strawberry Greek Yogurt

/ / Reviews / 10 Comments

Yoplait Plenti Strawberry Greek Yogurt

Yoplait’s Plenti Strawberry Greek Yogurt has 140 calories, so this review will have exactly 140 words.

The highlight of this yogurt are the whole grain oats, flax, and pumpkin seeds floating IN the yogurt. There’s no side mix-ins compartment like Chobani Flip or mix-ins in the cover like YoCrunch. Yoplait continues to make it so easait for folks who like simple yogurt instructions.

The yogurt tastes and looks like regular Yoplait strawberry yogurt with bits of fruit. As for the texture of the whole grain oats, flax, and pumpkin seeds that have been sitting in yogurt for days or weeks, they were soft and squishy like quinoa in a quinoa salad. Their texture was weird at first, but halfway through I didn’t mind it. To be honest, if they were still crunchy I would’ve yelled, “Science, what have you done!”
