Being mom to an infant I know as well as anyone how important a mid-afternoon pick me up is. It’s not a luxury, it’s a necessity.
In the past I’ve always relied on constant movement or the occasional soda or sweet tea to keep me moving. I’ve tried energy drinks in the past and they’ve either made me jittery or had a disgusting overly sweet/fluoride taste.
This week I tried Starbucks Refreshers and they’ve completely changed my opinion of energy drinks. I’ve seen these at the local grocery store for months now but kept passing them over thinking they’d taste just like all the others. I should have known that something from Starbucks would far outpace my expectations and really deliver in quality and taste.
Starbucks Refreshers come in three flavors – Raspberry Pomegranate, Orange Melon, and Strawberry Lemonade – and there’s no nasty aftertaste or fluoride flavoring in sight. My hands down favorite is the Raspberry Pomegranate which was a perfectly sweetened, sparkling, and delicious taste with extra pep for my afternoon. And almost as good as the delicious flavor is that these green coffee beverages have 50mg of caffeine and only 60 calories!
How do you avoid crashing in the afternoon?
Each beverage is a sparkling, delicious boost of natural energy from Green Coffee Extract you can enjoy anytime. With real fruit juice, B vitamins, ginseng, antioxidants from vitamin C and only 60 calories per can, it’s a pick-me-up you can feel good about.

Starbucks anything is awesome in my book! For my afternoon pick-me-up it’s usually coffee, occasionally an energy drink, or sometimes just rehydrating with a cup of tea and a snack.
I’ve been hearing about the refreshers and this post is what will now have me going to the Starbucks a block form house and trying one. Yay me!
Oh how I miss caffeine as an afternoon energy boost! I especially miss Starbucks coffee! I gave up all caffeine due to a sensitivity. I’ll tell my husband about this, though, because he loves energy drinks.
I am not an energy drink person myself (I have a really sensitive tummy) but these look delicious. I might have to get a few for hubby to try!
I love these, and your photos of them make them looks so refreshing!
Oh I haven’t seen these yet, I am in love with Pomegranate lately….can’t wait to check them out.
I’ve never tried them but they sound tasty.
I’ve tried the Strawberry Lemonade, but that Orange Melon is really calling my name! I am not much of an energy drink person – I like my water and the occasional Coke (maybe once a week). I am glad you’ve found something to help give you a boost!
I want to try one soooo bad!
Just reading that made me thirsty! I really want to try these now!
I love these drinks so much! Thanks for telling us!
Constant movement is how I usually keep my energy up, but the Raspberry Pomegranate sounds pretty tasty.
I have sen these and have been wondering. I think ill test one out, thankyou!

I love that they are only 60 calories a can!!
These sound so good–I love that they’re only 60 calories too! I’m definitely going to give them a try, especially if you say there’s no aftertaste!
That is a great idea! I love having the option of a fruity taste
Mmmmm, sounds delicious! I’m going to look for them next time I go shopping.
Thanks for the review, I hadn’t heard of them!
I seriously need me some of these. Thanks for sharing.
This looks like what I need. Every day at 2pm or so I just get hit with fatigue.
I was shocked that I liked these! I never thought I was going to, but they taste delicious!
I drink plenty of tea!
I have not tried any of those, but I know I could certainly use them!
Mmmm starbucks.
