Starbucks Refreshers, 3 Flavor Variety Pack (Peach,Cherry, Stw Lmd), 12 Ounce Sleek Cans (Pack of 12)

Problem: I wanted a quick, grab-and-go drink for my mornings, but I don't fancy coffee, and most energy drinks taste too artificial to me, or have that weird stevia aftertaste. Enter, Starbucks Refreshers. Light and fruity, slightly carbonated for funsies, and not a boatload of sugar or caffeine. I like all the flavours in the variety pack. They are, as named, very "refreshing", ha. They are just a bit pricey I think but it's not too bad, and considering the alternatives I still think they're a great deal. They seem to be becoming more and more difficult to procure lately and that has me worried. There's simply no replacement. Everything, everything else is either way too much sugar/high fructose corn syrup or is stevia and tastes gross to me. So let's talk about the stevia. I'm pretty sensitive to this ingredient because I hate it LOL. So much so that I'd rather have straight unsweetened products than anything with stevia in it most of the time (read: all of the time). These do use mostly actual sugar and don't have that typical "stevia extract" ingredient, and so I don't taste stevia in them. Big win. However, they do still have rebaudioside-a in them, which is from the stevia plant leaf, BUT somehow it's nigh undetectable as long as the drinks are about room temperature or colder. And I'm talking "undetectable" as in I seriously don't notice it, not that I notice it a lil bit and can ignore it like I do with other drinks that have this ingredient. I only qualify with "nigh" because if I really try I can taste that familiar aftertaste, just a bit, but even then it's negligible. So this gets a solid pass from me, and I've been enjoying these things for years. Every now and then I try a new drink of similar niche...but I always end up coming back to Starbucks Refreshers. For years and years now. Real sugar, real fruit juice, low calorie, and refreshing as promised...There's just no beating them. I hope to enjoy them for many more years to come.

Have repurchased these countless times. Yummmy. Not too sweet and the perfect midday caffeine kick

The sugar content is enough, it helps you to stay hydrated. The taste of these drinks is great. The ingredients are high quality. It has a low calorie count. If you're allergic to coconut water then I would not recommend these drinks.

Flavors sounded great, but didn’t live the way they tasted

I was excited to try these, but didn't love them. The flavors were weird and they do not taste like the flavors they are advertised as. They also do not state the caffeine content which wasn't helpful. Overall they aren't bad and i will finish them, but I probably won't buy them again, the flavors just aren't for me.

These were pretty good flavors. Nice for summer. A little expensive but ok for a treat.

Starbucks Refreshers are getting harder and harder to find, and not to mention for a decent price. These come as a variety pack, or you can order 12-packs by flavor. I like the Black Cherry Lime with coconut water best, but all three flavors are good. I don’t drink coffee, and I get tired of tea, so these are a great way to wake up in the morning. They are made with green coffee beans, which are thought to be good in helping speed up fat burning. Also, they are made with a combination of sugar and stevia, so there is a little break on calories. The carbonation and coconut water help make them very refreshing.

I love this. It's wonderful. Great taste, very refreshing.
