Starbucks Coffee Company, Seattle, WA, released Starbucks Refreshers beverages, which contain real fruit juice and a boost of natural energy from green coffee extract. Unlike the traditional process, the green coffee extract used in Starbucks Refreshers beverages is unroasted—resulting in a beverage with a mild and fresh flavor while still retaining naturally occurring caffeine. Made with green coffee extract from 100% arabica beans, Starbucks Refreshers beverages contain 60 calories per 12-oz. can. The product is available in Raspberry Pomegranate, Strawberry Lemonade and Orange Melon, in lightly sparkling, ready-to-drink form.
