REVIEW: Starbucks Iced Guava Passionfruit Drink

/ / Reviews / 7 Comments

Starbucks Iced Guava Passionfruit Drink

What is Starbucks’ Iced Guava Passionfruit Drink?

It’s a sister drink to the Iced Pineapple Matcha and Iced Golden Ginger Drinks in that it features coconutmilk as its base. This one packs a flavor punch with guava, passionfruit, pineapple, and ginger. It uses the pineapple ginger syrup along with a guava juice blend to create a bubblegum pink color and creamy flavor.

How is it?

You know how when you’re little and you think you don’t like fish (or insert other food you hated here), but it’s really because you actually haven’t tried it and just think you don’t like it? That’s how I used to be with coconutmilk. But once I began trying it a few years back in Starbucks’ Pink and Violet drinks (Refreshers paired with coconutmilk), I was sold.

The new Iced Guava Passionfruit Drink does not disappoint when it comes to creamy coconutmilk goodness. Having really enjoyed the recently released Iced Golden Ginger Drink, I was excited to try this one too.

Starbucks Iced Guava Passionfruit Drink 2

At first sip, it immediately transports me to somewhere tropical – I definitely wanted to be on the beach with this one in hand. Despite the 25 grams of sugar in a tall, it’s not overly sweet. The fruity guava flavor definitely comes through, but the pineapple ginger syrup wasn’t very noticeable. All in all, it’s a pleasant drink – fruity flavor, a nice thickness from the coconutmilk and certainly refreshing on a hot day.

Anything else you need to know?

Like the Iced Golden Ginger Drink, there’s no caffeine in this one. So if you’re willing to fork over the more than $4 for a Starbucks drink that’s not going to give you a caffeine boost, it’s worth a try.

Conclusion:

While I enjoyed and loved the taste, I wouldn’t add it in to my normal Starbucks drink rotation, but keep it as a special, once-in-a-while beverage for an afternoon treat.

Taco Bell wants to sweeten your summer with two new Freezes — the Pineapple Freeze and Pineapple Whip Freeze.

The slightly more exciting Pineapple Whip Freeze is a combination of the Pineapple Freeze with something its ingredients list calls “vanilla creamer whip.”

A regular-size one has 210 calories, 1 gram of fat, 0.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 gram of trans fat, less than 5 milligrams of cholesterol, 55 milligrams of sodium, 52 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 49 grams of sugar, and 0 grams of protein.

To be honest, I have no idea what cottage cheese is used for. I’ve just been blindly posting cottage cheese photos all these years without having tried it. Is it actually cheese or is it a Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product, like Velveeta. Is it made in a cottage? I’m sorry I’m so ill-informed about cottage cheese.
