Posted on July 19, 2008

The afternoon trip to Starbucks may mean another block's walk. The chain is closing 600 stories nationwide.

But Starbucks also just launched a new line of healthier food products - Vivanno Nourishing Blends. The most popular customer requests through "mystarbucksidea.com" have been healthier food options (and lower prices)...and the company is listening.

The new line includes "Orange Mango Banana" and "Banana Chocolate" flavored beverages provide "at least one serving of fruit, 16 grams of protein, and 5 grams of fiber with 270 calories or less and no artificial colors, artificial sweeteners or high fructose corn syrup (nutrition based on 16 fluid ounces)." The ingredient list for both beverages includes: one whole banana, a proprietary whey protein and fiber powder, choice of milk and ice.
