Scribbles About Food: Mocha Coconut Frappuccino

New Frap you say? Of corse I tried it!

I think this is something you can order off the menu... not 100% sure... but it seems easy. I think they always have coconut syrup and they always have mocha... so you can probably get some version of it.

The girls at the starbucks were super nice and friendly and the Barrista said that she just made her first one before and it was really good. Never knew Target Starbucks accepted the Starbucks card, but it did! Better than my college Starbucks! Lol. But yeah I was all pumped I thought it was going to be really great, I love coconut so I was excited.

And I was not disappointed! This was absolutely delicious. Gloria Jeans has a Mocha Coconut Chiller, so I was expecting it to taste like that... but this had wayyy more mocha in it... which I'm not necessarily saying is better... but thats kind of what I wanted at the time. I was like "I want this to taste a little more chocolatey than the Gloria Jeans" and thats what it was.

I feel like my favorite thing on like any coconut coffee drink is the whipped cream with the toasted coconut on top... theres something so yummy about the combo. The smoothness of the whipped cream with the slight crunch and coconut flavor of the coconut... its just amazing.

If you don't like coconut, you aren't going to like this. Coconut is one of those things you either love or you hate. I've never met anyone that was on the fence with coconut. Everyone I know either loves it... or hates it... but I don't think I know anyone that hates it. I'm pretty sure every person I know likes coconut... and I think now I'm going to ask everyone I know next time I see them if they like coconut or not. And if they say not, I'll say "Coco-NOT" and then I'll laugh to myself as they stare blankly at me wondering why we're friends. It'll be fun.

Byeee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...
