Smoothies At Caribou Coffee

[Lola B]

Does anyone know the ingredients in the Passion Fruit Green Tea smoothy from Caribou Coffee? I've looked on their website for nutritional information and it just lists the common stuff - calories, sugar, sodium, etc. The actual ingredients are not found. My daughter loves these and I want to make sure that they're safe for her to drink. The people actually serving the beverages don't have a clue.

I recently got this response from the customer service rep. I got this within the past week:

Thank you for taking time to write us with your questions. We at Caribou

Coffee are sensitive to the needs of our customers with dietary

restrictions, including gluten allergies. We are consistently working to

make these concerns known and to produce such nutritional information

available more readily, however, we unfortunately do not have a list

compiled. Coffee and espresso contain no gluten or soy, nor does regular

or 2% milk, also, our flavored syrups are gluten-free. For this reason,

our coffee of the day, lattes and cappuccinos are not considered serious

gluten or soy risks. Also, our flavored syrups and chocolate syrups are

gluten-free. No such claim can be made for our specialty drinks

(Coolers, mochas, Wild drinks) as many ingredients (such as candy

toppings) come from third party vendors. If you wish, these items can be

made without topping to avoid these ingredients.

Please note that at Caribou, as at all restaurants, cross-contamination

is not an insignificant risk. We will do our best to accommodate your

dietary restrictions but remind you that the ultimate decision -- and

responsibly -- is yours alone. I hope this information is helpful to you

as you make your coffee decisions. I have also passed your

correspondence to the Marketing department to consider in their future

nutritional information offerings. If I can be of any further

assistance, please let me know. Thank you again for your inquiry and for

making Caribou a part of your coffee experience!

Sincerely,

Lisa Curski
