Quick question for the veterans. I currently have the banana shakes and they taste like banana laffy taffy (my favorite), and I was curious if the orange and strawberry shakes carried the same flavor class. Meaning tastes just like candy.

Another question I have is... What do I add to the Chai Latte and Cappacinco's to make them more appealling to my beginner taste buds? Oh and the Swiss Mocha...

Thanks in Advance

Some people really don't care for the strawberry, but mixed with lemonade or sf strawberry something they aren't bad.
For some the orange reminds them of baby aspirin. I like them mixed with SF Tropicana Orangeade.

If you belnd the chai with ice it makes a nice frapp. As for the capp, its too sweet for me, but Di has one in the AM and before bed, so I'm no help there.

The swiss mocha... well, I'll let someone who can get it down cover that one.

The Capp seemed to have a bad smell to it everytime I went to take a drink, and that kinda ruined it for me.

The orange and strawberry shakes sound pretty good if you can find the right blend and make sherbet out of them. (Another favorite of mine, so I am hopeful of them.)

Is the swiss mocha that bad?

I add a half of a package of Crystal Light OTG lemon-aid to the orange and strawberry to get the sherbert thing going. Sure made the Strawberry easier to swallow. I think it the orange flavor (wihtout the lemonaid) is similar to the orange shakes that McD's has sometimes, which I don't like.

I don't like the Capp hot, but I LOVE it cold with some McCormicks French Vanilla Extract (found it at Wally World). If you enjoy the Starbucks Frappachinos that they sell in the bottles you should really enjoy this too.

RM, do you blend your Capp or leave it liquified? I was thinking that SF vanilla or caramel syrup would really help it.

you're right, the capp does have a funny smell. the hardest part for me is getting past the foamy stuff. it's not of a normal "foam" texture. i usually drink it cold and just gulp it down but this morning i had a hot one and it wasn't that bad, except for the foam. try adding some sf coffee syrup (davinci) to cover up the funky smell. i actually have never tried the swiss mocha, strawberry is just ok, it's do-able. I really like the orange (tastes like a creamsicle to me) although it is a little sweet so i usually add more water.
