Mocha frappacchino

Because of Valentine's Day I was the proud recipient of a Mocha Frapacchino this morning. 16 ounces of of fat, sugar and caffeine - to be exact 380 calories, 15 grams of fat and 47 grams of sugar - yes 9 teaspoons of sugar. To be honest it did taste good.
My preferred beverage is a black coffee - flavored is good - containing zero calories and wonderful coffee goodness. The intention was good.
Americans like the evil coffee drink. The mocha frap. is one of the most evil offered by Starbucks. Dunkin Donuts is famous for the Frozen cappicchino - 300 callories, 4 grams of fat, and 53 - yes, 53 grams of sugar. Almost 11 teaspoons!!
The Frapacchino became my breakfast. I could not refuse the gift. Instead of having oatmeal with a banana and pecans or yogurt with blueberries and walnuts, breakfast became a bleak nutrient free, calorie dense wasteland.
