Espresso

Ok Espresso. Espressos are really small when they first handed me my drink it was so light I thought they forgot to put anything in my cup, but that's just the way espressos are. Yeah espressos are super super strong and really bitter. I did not enjoy this even after putting in cream and sugar. You should have seen the faces I was making while trying to drink this. Savannah thought it was rather entertaining. Also this drink gave me a headache. We know there's too much caffeine in a drink if it gives me a headache. Wow I would never get an espresso again. 

Cappuccino

Ok sorry it's been a really really long time. I know I'm an awful blogger. Ok well I tried the cappuccino at caribou before I went to Italy so it was a awhile ago so sorry if my description isn't super detailed. I really enjoyed the cappuccino I like the frothy texture it has. The texture was similar to that of a latte but lighter. However cappuccinos aren't as sweet as I like. I fixed this problem with a little cream and sugar. Over all I enjoyed the cappuccino it made me feel grown up because it's like real coffee, and in Italy thats all people drink.

Passion Fruit Green Tea Smoothie

Ok another post this time I tried the last of the smoothie flavors. Wow i've really finshed alot of drinks! This smoothie was Passion Fruit Green Tea. I liked this smoothie it wasn't as sweet as some of the other smoothies like the berry one becuase the green tea cuts the swetness, but I liked that. Yeah I don't like too much sweetness in my drinks. This smoothie was just refreshing. And best of all it was bright orange! Yeah I thought the smoothie would be green or something because it has green tea in it but somehow it was super orange. I thought that was exciting.

Lattes

Ok well first lets start out with a moment of reflection on the recent tragedy. No more chocolate chip muffins. I would like to encorage everyone to find the muffin company and write some very strongly worded letters. But lets move on to a happier subject. I have finally tried every latte flavor! Yeah it's a big accomplishment. The Vanila Latte was always my drink, so obviously I find it enjoyable. It's sweet, but not too sweet, and the flavors are not overpowering. Cherry I thought this would be gross, but it wasn't bad. the cherry flavor didn't really come through strongly, however, it smelled like cherries. Caramel and Turtle were very similar. They were sweet and carameley. Irish Cream was quite bland. It wasn't sweet at all, and I didn't enjoy it. Raspberry, I guess it was ok I don't know it wasn't bad but Raspberry lattes aren't reall for me I don't think raspberry should go with coffee. On That note Mint, I have said it before and I'll say it again I don't like mint in my coffee. But this isn't the worst mint drink I've had, but after a few sips i was sick of it. Oh! Side note on this day I went to caribou 4 times that has to be a record! one of those times I had to leave suddenly because a certain frumpy person was there, but it still counts! Ok cinnamon, yum I really like this one which kind of surprised be I wasn't expecting it to be good but it was, it had the perfect amount of cinnamon taste it wasn't overpowering like I thought it would be, and my mom bought it for me, so it was free! Marshmallow, this one was fine I don't know it didn't seem special it didn't taste strongly of marshmallows. Hazel and Almond I really loved these, they were sweetish, and sooo good, and I feel like they sound fancy. I think if I were to have a latte I would switch my regular from vanilla to one of these. Ok I think thats all of them wow that took forever.

Oh by the way my spell check wasn't working so don't judge me.

Cinnamon Tea

I learned that tea is really hot. I burned my tongue on this drink, thats was not fun. Though this drink was really hot it was refreshing once it cooled down. I like tea every now and then, and this was good at first, but after awhile the cinnamon became overpowering. I like cinnamon, and I especially love cinnamon tea, but, this cinnamon tea was really rough on my throat after a few sips. Fun fact Nicole skipped second hour to come to Caribou with me on this day. She had a caramel cooler, and we went to Cub to get her some nacho lunchables. Yay skipping class!

Wild Berry Smoothie

Ok Wild berry smoothie. yum. I really like smoothie's. There sweet but not to sweet. they're cold and refreshing, and just delicious. I think berry smoothis are a little to tangy but this berry smoothie wasn't too tangy, it was just splendid. It reminded me of a nice summer day, and thats really hard for a drink to do when it's snowing in March!

Macadamia Coconut Mocha

Ewwww. Coconut.

Zebra Hot Chocolate

Right now I am bloging from my new laptop! And the whole internet connection problem is fixed! so maybe now I can post more frequently... maybe. So I tried the zebra hot chcolate because Lexi made me. This drink is lexi's favorite drink and I can see why. I mean it's chocolate for one thing, and I love chocolate. I ate king size bar of chocolate for breakfeast this morning and yesterday morning. but it's not just one choclate it was milk and white choclate mixed together. doesn't that just sound amazing? Next time Wild Berry Smoothie.

Northern Lite Lattes

Ok So I've tried every Northern Lite Latte! SO i decided just to post about all of the different flavors at once, because they are all very similar. Ok so first off, do you know the difference between a latte and a Northern Lite Latte? I know Alicia does because I've told her a million times. But for the rest of you the Northern Lite Latte s a lite weight latte. It has skim milk and less sugar, so it's healthier. Which I think is a pretty good alternative if you feel guilty about getting Caribou everyday, but can't live without lattes. I couldn't really taste too much of a difference from regular lattes. Ok So flavors. the cinnamon latte wasn't my favorite, I don't know I guess I'm just not a cinnamon coffee kind of person. The french vanilla was really good! I love vanilla lattes and french vanilla is even better. The caramel and turtle flavors, I thought were very similar, but I like the carmel better, because well, I love caramel and coffee. I really liked the hazelnut, but caramel and vanilla were better in my opinion. And finally the raspberry. I did not like this flavor it seemed really bland, and I was drinking it in the media center. And it was  really difficult to hide my drink from my arch nemesis!  Ok first hour is almost over so I have to return this laptop.

Caramel Highrise

I thought the Caramel High Rise was similar to the Turtle Mocha, they both have a caramel coffee taste. however I liked the High rise better because it was smoother. It didn't have chunks of snickers in it giving it a weird texture. The High rise was my victory drink, because right before I drank this I destroyed Britta, Kunza, and Alta in the mock trial! I thought this drink was quite delightful. And this was the last drink on  the wild list that I had to drink. So yeah, this was a huge milestone. I think I've tried over 1/3 of the menu! I can't believe I've kept up with this life goal... I mean I've basically given up on making Savannah fat. But amazingly I've accomplished quite a bit with this goal. Well I'm hungry so I'm gonna make a pizza now.

Pom-A-Mango Smoothie

Omg I just discovered the online Caribou menu because I needed to figure out the spelling for the Pom-A-Mango smoothie. And omg it's amazing it has some drinks that aren't listed on the store menu and when you click on the drink it tells you all the nutritional values, it's really snazzy! So because of the wonderful online menu I can tell you this smoothie contains 280 calories, no caffeine, and has vitamin A, calcium, protein, fiber, iron, and vitamin C.  Yeah this drink is healthy! It was a nice break from caffeinated drinks because this was a Wednesday during 2nd hour so I had already had Caribou on the way to school. I liked this drink it was very refreshing, and fruity, but not too sweet. So if you want a non caffeinated drink I would strongly recommend this. Okay I'm gonna try and get another post done now. Oh and hello Serena I know you really wanted to be mentioned, so this is me mentioning you!:)

P.S I added a link to the Caribou menu at the top of my blog, where the fish used to be.

Berry White Mocha

Right now I am in English with Kunza, not researching for my paper. but that's ok because I decided I'll just ramble about The God Father in my paper. So I tried the Berry White Mocha this time. And I thought this drink would be gross. I mean it's a mocha with berries in it, and fruity coffee does not sound good to me. But I was wrong. Fruity coffee is good! and best of all it was pink! I'm still angry at myself for not taking a picture of it. I have a picture of every other drink, but of course I forget when I have a pink mocha. Ok well class is almost over, and since Kunza is sitting right next to me I know she just commented on my blog! Yay :) so I'm gonna go read that.

Caramel Cooler

I dedicate this post to my biggest fan Britta! I heart you  :) So this time I decided to try the Caramel cooler because it is my best friend Nicole's favorite drink, she gets it every Wednesday when we go to Caribou before school. Our weekly Caribou trip is the only reason we get out of bed on Wednesdays. And I thought since she loves it I would love it. That was not the case with the caramel cooler. Firstly last week it was freezing! Coolers should not be consumed in that kind of weather. Secondly that drink was soooooo sweet. I don't like my coffee black, but the caramel cooler is too sweet! After a couple of sips I had had enough, so to prevent a sugar coma, I gave the rest to Nicole, who was extremely over joyed.

Turtle Mocha

I'm posting again. I really need to keep up with this, I know Britta was disappointed I didn't post this weekend. so here I go. i tried the turtle mocha this time, and it was pretty good at first. I love mochas, and it's even better with whip cream, caramel, and snickers on top. However, the whole bits of snickers sprinkled on top of my drink was wonderful at first, but as time went on not so pleasant. I was drinking my turtle mocha kind of slowly because I was reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo ,which was a really good book. So I wasn't completely focused on my drink, so after awhile the whip cream and snickers  got mixed in with the rest of the drink. Which lead to bits of snickers getting caught in my throat because snickers don't melt and blend into a drink like chocolate chips do. So over all i liked the taste of this drink, but not the texture. Well I'm proud of myself I finished a post, but now I'm probably gonna get back to reading The Girl Who Played with Fire because instead of posting I finished The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, because it was such a good book. You should so read it.

Campfire Mocha

I'm getting another post out of the way, I'm so proud of how motivated I am tonight! I was at Caribou with Savannah and Riley this time! Isn't that exciting? I love not having a second hour! So I tried the Campfire Mocha, it was good at first, but even though I only got a small it was almost too rich to finish. I love the way the Campfire mocha looks, the little marshmallows are cute, I made this drink the background for my phone. But even though it was cute,  and with the marshmallows it reminded me of a smore it even had a kind of smokey taste somehow. I liked all the flavors of this drink, but i just couldn't handle the richness. OK Criminal Minds in on now so I'm gonna focus on that now. Next time Turtle Mocha!

Apple Blast!

Wow I've really fallen behind in my posting, because I'm super lazy. But I'm going to try to catch up. So I tried the Apple Blast at Caribou the other day with Snye. Yeah it was super good.  It's hot apple cider with whip cream, caramel, and cinnamon. I love this drink it reminds me of the time we went to the apple orchard and I bought that caramel covered apple YUM. That was a fun day there were goats and cold apple cider, which I had never had before, I thought that was just apple juice, but I was wrong. The Apple blast is perfect on a cold day, and I drank it right before working out and I didn't feel sick after so that means this drink is basically perfect. OK i have a lot more post to write so I should get to that.

Day 1!

Ok so my new life goal is to try every drink at Caribou. Yay! I'm really excited about it. It's like all I can talk about. I have other life goals, such as making Savannah Nye fat, and time travel, but this goal is actually going well. I went to Caribou twice on my first day! I'm the kind of person when I find something I like I stick with it. At Baker Square I always get chicken strips and french silk pie (YUM). At Caribou I would always get a vanilla latte. But not anymore. On my first day of operation Caribou, I started my day with a White Chocolate Mocha. Oh my god it was amazing, so much better than my vanilla lattes. And  was a little unsure about mochas because in the past I had an ice mocha and it wasn't very good. Latter in the day things weren't as happy and exciting. I tried a mint snowdrift, yuck. I'm never getting that again the mint just didn't taste right with the sweetness of the rest of the drink. I couldn't finish it; the cookies and cream snowdrift is sooo much better. so yeah I'm so proud of myself I'm way farther on this goal than making Savannah fat, but maybe if she keeps coming to caribou with me i can force her eat a lot of cookies while we're there. Next time Apple Blast!
