\"Starbucks<\/p>\n

What is the Starbucks Vanilla Almondmilk Frappuccino?<\/h3>\n

Imagine a bottled Starbucks Frappuccino with, instead of reduced fat and skim milk, a liquid made from almonds that are treated as if someone is trying to extract top secret information from it. They\u2019re drowned, chopped into tiny pieces, and then drowned again. <\/p>\n

Besides this vanilla flavor, there\u2019s also a mocha version.<\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

Full disclosure: I drink almond milk. More specifically, organic Silk Almondmilk from Costco that comes in a pack with three half-gallons, which I drink even though there\u2019s a Silk\u2019s Vanilla Soymilk multi-pack that\u2019s cheaper and better tasting. I mention that to show I have no issues with the nut milk.<\/p>\n

With that said, Starbucks\u2019 Vanilla Almondmilk Frappuccino is something I wouldn\u2019t buy again. At first, it’s decent coffee drink. But in the middle of every sip, a weird, acrid taste pops up in my mouth. It\u2019s similar to what I experienced with <\/a>Starbucks\u2019 bottled Smoked Butterscotch Latte. It\u2019s not so horrible that I\u2019m spitting it out and pouring the rest down the drain, but the next time I\u2019m looking for a non-dairy coffee drink, I\u2019ll avoid this.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure if it\u2019s the nut milk that\u2019s causing this or something else because the Smoked Butterscotch Latte doesn\u2019t have almond milk and I also recently tried <\/a>Starbucks\u2019 Almondmilk Caffe Latte and Caffe Mocha which don\u2019t have that acrid taste. <\/p>\n

Is there anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n

Because the almond milk tends to be thinner than cow milk or soy milk, I thought this would also be that way. But thanks to our friends carrageenan and cellulose gum, it\u2019s as thick and creamy as regular bottled Frappuccino beverages.<\/p>\n

Some of you astute readers might\u2019ve noticed I\u2019ve used two different spellings for almond milk. When used in product names, I\u2019ll respect the one-word spelling, but I\u2019m on Team #AlmondSpaceMilk and used the two-word spelling for all other instances. Eh, maybe I’m just a fuddy-duddy.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

Starbucks\u2019 Vanilla Almondmilk Frappuccino has fewer calories and fat than its dairy version, but its flavor makes it my least favorite bottled nut milk coffee drink. Thankfully, there are better options from Starbucks.<\/p>\n
