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!
