Starbucks is Rolling Out New Summer Drinks With an Interesting Ingredient

We've finally entered spring in Rockford, which means we are all thinking tank tops and flip-flops and ice cold smoothies from Starbucks.

This time around, we won't just be cooling off with our computers outside the Starbucks on State Street, we'll also be getting a serving of vegetables.Yeah, weird I know, but Starbucks is adding kale smoothies to their menu this summer.

I've tried kale a few times, and that's enough for me. It's kind of hard and crunchy, but not in the delicious crunchy kind of way. Kale is more the, "how will I ever chew this enough to swallow" crunchy.

But, even with my personal feelings toward kale, I will still try it blended in a smoothie. Probably because I trust Starbucks with my tastebuds. They rarely steer me wrong.

The drinks will range from 170-230, and come in three flavors: sweet greens, strawberry, and mango carrot. The kale is available up on request, so you can get the smoothies vegetable free if you'd like.
