It's called "Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai" and it tastes like melted ice cream!
It's yummy!

I sampled this at my nearby grocery store, which has a Starbucks inside.

Since yesterday was the debut of the Autumn menu, they had sample cups of this set out for shoppers to enjoy.

My plan is to purchase this drink, substituting coconut milk for 2% whole milk, bring it home, and enjoy a few sips over a few days!

I believe there are sugar-free versions of some of the ingredients!

This looks awesome! I wish I could drink it, but it would reek havoc on my stomach.

Hope people like it. Starbucks has been struggling.

As for me I do not like pumpkin flavor 🎃

Just for giggles I looked up the points in my WW app.

The tall size with 2% milk is 21 points, 19 with nonfat milk.

For reference my daily points count is 23.

Earlier today I looked up an article about how to make Starbucks drinks lower calorie.

I think I will try some of their suggestions.

I keep my refrigerator stocked with Starbucks Blonde coffee. If they are not already out, soon Coffee-Mate will have pumpkin spice and peppermint mocha sugar-free creamers. Sometimes I buy whipped cream and sprinkle it with cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice. I don't feel left out and I'm spending a whole lot less money☺️ the nearest Starbucks is 25 miles and their coffee is too strong for me ( in the store). Off to see if my Walmart has the holiday flavors yet.

@monicakm

Today I bought the zero sugar pumpkin pie spice International Coffees brand. It was on sale and I had a $1 coupon, so I almost bought two! Coffeemate and others are also on the shelves.

@monicakm

Your ideas for coffe sound so yummy!

Please report back if WM has holiday flavors!

I am so not familiar with Starbucks blonde coffee!
Is that a type that is in the bottle and can be found at my grocery store? xx

Would you please let me know?

@monicakm @Tinkrbl44 @Italian gal @bonnie f

Thought so😔

For several reasons, my plan is to only drink a couple of sips per day...

for a treat!

One: I have sensitivity trouble with various foods...coffee used to be my "desert" in my 20's

and I miss it!
Two: I ask myself...do I really need these calories?

I must admit, rather enviously, as I read Reddit, etc, it seems like "the in crowd" (the 20's and 30's) working crowd, all must go to SB every day (?) for their daily pick-me-up! I'm just trying to be

REVELANT! lol

I would love to know what "nutmeggy" flavoring was sprinkled on top of my sample yesterday?

mmmm good!

Another suggestion to cut calories was to ask for a "drizzle" instead of syrup? This sounds like a great idea...

I have to say that the only drink I have ever indulged in was a Caramel Frappuccino. Now wondering if a drizzle could be substituted here instead of something higher calorie too.

Also, the "cold foam" has fewer calories than whipped cream.
