Oh the joy and delight to walk into the Lexington Center Starbucks this morning and discover a new smoothie product! Yes…Vivanno Nourishing Blends! You know I can’t be happy with a standard offering. I chose the chocolate banana Vivanno with a shot of espresso and energy powder. It was delicious! I had a grande, and it served very nicely as a brunch. I like the nutritional breakdown, too.

Yes, this is a shot of emotional espresso in my happy, happy day. For once I agree with their marketing slogan: A proposal for a well-lived day. Well lived indeed. Signing off in my caffeinated bliss…

My neighbor is a manager of 6 of the Starbuck’s here in Huntsville. Last night he was dressed in a banana suit and delivered 8 coupons for the new smoothies to our front door. I am going to give one a shot tomorrow morning. I’ll let you know what I think.
Trick or treat in July! That’s a valuable coupon. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and it killed my hunger for a long time. Something to consider if you’re drinking before a meal!
This is a great recommendation from a place that I absolutely love! Thanks for sharing. And have you seen the light green t-shirts the barista’s wear? I want one of those….
Thanks for your words about the Mac Book, fun to hear from people that have them!
Audra, I might be able to help you get that t-shirt… My store has several extras.
Marla, my choice Vivanno is a solo espresso, soy, banana chocolate blend. Mmmmm…
Also, the Vivanno cup (a grande, as you pointed out) is the first in our move to recyclable plastic cups. Our whole line will be transitioned over the next couple of months.
Jeremy, I would love it! Please get in touch with me at http://www.audrakrell.com. What is your blog?
I didn’t realize Starbucks was transitioning to recyclable plastic cups. That is great news. Marla thanks for creating and maintaining a great blog!
Banana Chocolate is very good. Especially after a hard workout.
