![]() While it may contain a similar product as the original, it’s not quite as convenient and portable in a massive jug.)Īfter sampling 9 similar bottled and canned coffees, we found three that fit the bill nicely. We later discovered Starbucks Skinny Vanilla Latte Iced Espresso Classic in a 48 ounce bottle at Target and Safeway. ![]() (Unfortunately, it turned out that Target had the discontinued Starbucks product on the website, but not on the shelves. I figured the results might be interesting to the rest of you, so am sharing them today. Upon this discovery, we decided it was imperative that we schedule a blind taste test to end the search scientifically with all three of us together. We were each trying to solve our friend’s coffee crisis on our own, and may I note, she didn’t ask us to! Such.

The reason we did it exposes our food-related ridiculousness but also shows how similar we are.Ī few weeks ago one of my friends was lamenting to the flock that Starbucks was no longer selling her favorite lower calorie bottled product: Frappuccino Vanilla Light Chilled Coffee Drink. We purchased several variations, but mostly they were lower calorie vanilla flavored coffees. ![]() Two of my friends and I recently had a blind tasting of 9 different bottled and canned iced coffees and cold brews, you know, just for fun.
