Tasty Time - Starbucks Raspberry Pomegranate Refresher

Wandering around Target, we came upon an aisle of clearance alcohol.  But more importantly, across from this, there was an aisle of clearance energy drinks!  But even more importantly, squished in between the Monsters and the Red Bulls, there were these 2 peculiar looking cans that we've never seen before.  I know Starbucks makes coffee flavored energy drinks but this was new.  But it says its contains green coffee beans.  Well, it was less than $1.00 so I guess we've got nothing to lose.

Unfortunately, I was advised by my doctor to temporarily pause my caffeine consumption so this tasting is based purely on 1 (OK, maybe 2) sips.  On first impression, I tasted way more raspberry than pomegranate.  It also tasted like artificial flavoring but I am sure it was just a personal thing since the can says all natural.  Starbucks wouldn't lie, would it?  What I liked most about it was that it was not super sweet like other juice flavored energy drinks can be.

Nutritionally, 1 12oz can has 60 calories and contains 20g of carbohydrates and 13g of sugar.

While I am not one against energy drinks, & this was certainly one of the more tastier ones, I think I am going to stick with my usuals - coffee & tea - for my caffeine kicks.
