Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall, it really doesn’t matter, I have to have my coffee. As a lot of you know, I’m a bit of a coffee addict. I don’t know exactly what it is, but I love it. With that said, I’m kinda predictable and tend to always have the same brew. Boring, I know.
When I was in the “out of the house” working world, coffee time was not only a must, but also a great time to gossip and catch up with co-workers. Walks for coffee were always the best. I’ll admit, I used to have my favorite little place to go. But, one former co-worker was a Starbucks lover and introduced me to the brand. I must say, after one cup, I was hooked. But again, I ordered one drink and always stuck to it. I was (and still am) in love with the lattes. I know some of you may think it’s so simple and boring, but oh well!
Fast forward a couple of years, a couple of children, and a “work at home” life later, and I’m still a Starbucks fan. Lord knows I drink more coffee now than ever before with these two little ones! I have tried to expand my horizons, but I’ll admit, I am still boring when it comes to my coffee selections.
One day, I ventured out of my box and ordered the blonde roast. Wild, I know. But, I loved it! Another day, I went really crazy and tried the Hazelnut Macchiatos. OMG! They are my favorite! But, those are for “treat myself” days. Still, I am proud of myself for trying some new stuff.
With that said, I also recently tried out the Starbucks Spring Blend at home.
I know some people say coffee never tastes as good when you brew at home. Honestly, that is true sometimes. It’s just like food tastes better when someone else makes it! Anyway, in the spirit of Spring and new beginnings, I tried this new brew. After just the first sip, I really liked it. It didn’t leave a bitter taste in my mouth and didn’t make my heart pound out of my chest. It was a nice, mild cup of coffee with just enough flavor. It was also light, which is great for when the weather gets a little warmer.
Will I continue to brew this at home? Absolutely. It really was that good. Have you tried it? If not, there’s a way you can get some free brews at home. I’m giving away a pound of the Spring Blend.
Here’s what you have to do…In the spirit of Spring, I’m going to try some new drinks when I visit my local Starbucks. But, I don’t know which ones to spend my money on. So, leave a comment below telling me about your favorite Starbucks drink and why it’s your fave and I’ll enter you in a drawing to win a free pound of Starbucks Spring Blend. You can enter until 11:59 p.m. on April 30, 2014. I’ll pick the winner May 1, 2014. Good Luck! Recommend some great new drinks for me to try please!

Try try the very berry hibiscus tea in sweetened! So good!
I like green tea soy latte or skip the green tea part for the less sweeten version, both are delicious.
I love me some coffee!!! I have to be honest in saying I stay in my comfort zone with coffee. I always buy Folgers black silk for home brewing and I have never purchased a bag of Starbucks coffee. I do happen upon their drive thru on occasion and love their caramel machiato(spelling? ). Thanks for the post and giveaway!
Mocha Frappuccino
Starbucks’ Passion tea (hot or iced) is great!
I love their skinny vanilla latte because it’s yummy with fewer calories.

You have got to try the chai latte. It goes quickly though because its hard not to drink fast. 🙂 Yum!
Skinny vanilla latte. I love lattes! *sigh*
Caramel Frappuccino® Blended Beverage!!!

Honesty I mostly get iced caramel latte, iced green tea unsweetened, or just a plain onld iced coffee light and sweet.
Passion ice tea with raspberry!

Green tea or passion fruit lemonade mix, a little bit more lemonade than iced tead…very refreshing and super delicious!!!
