Wow, it has been a long time since I last posted! I am excited to say that I am ready to be back. As much of a mental health break as this blog was, I could not possibly devote any time to it while in the last home stretch of my dissertation. But now that it is completely done, formatting changes and all, I am ready to blog once again. As always, I love feedback. If you have tried something that I review on here, whether you agree with me or had a totally opposite experience from mine, please comment!! If you think I should review something that I haven't yet, please comment!! If you sell anything coffee related and want me to review, you guessed it, please comment!!
And now, to re-start things the right way, with a coffee related review. I went to the Keva Juice smoothie shop on 19th and Quaker, here in Lubbock, TX. Feeling about a quart low on my caffeine intake for the day, I naturally gravitated to the coffee section of the menu and selected a Kevaccino. They promptly offered me one free supplemental add-in, called an Energizer, which they promised would not affect the flavor or texture of the drink. I opted for the Stress Relief add-in, which has a host of vitamins in it. I have to say, the thing was amazing!!! It had a great texture. It wasn't so thick that I couldn't get it theough the straw, but was thick enough that I knew it was a shake. It didn't taste or feel (texture-wise) like it was healthy (c'mon, we all expect healthy to taste like cardboard). It was made with non-fat yogurt, but tasted like probably the best coffee flavored shake I have ever had. It was on the pricey side, but I thought it was worth it.
Take-home message: If you like coffee shakes and are willing to pay a little more for a good one that tastes like a splurge but is good for you (about 75 less calories, less than half the fat, and almost double the protein compared to a mocha frappuccino at Starbuck's), then put this on the must try list!
