Lucy's Vegan Cookies at Starbucks

This post - and one of our future giveaways! - is brought to you by our sponsor ( stool ) from CSN Stores. Get exciiiiited!

I think one of the reasons I moved to New York City was that I wanted everything at my fingertips - growing up in the midwest suburbs, all the "cool stuff" was in the city and never made it out here. Well now that I'm back home for awhile, I assumed that the new vegan cookies nationally available at Starbucks didn't apply to me. Sure enough, I went to Starbucks and couldn't find any indication of the cookies in the glass baked goods case or the refrigerated section below. Well...maybe if I stopped being a whiny beeyotch and looked behind me, I would have seen the separate display of dried fruit, nuts, chips, and packaged vegan cookies by Lucy's! It took me like, three visits, but I finally found them!

The vegan, gluten-free, nut-free cookies are available in Chocolate Chip, Cinnamon Thin, and Sugar Cookie. They come four to a package and are under 200 calories! I paired the chocolate chip cookies with a vanilla soy latte for a yummy afternoon treat. The cookies were crunchy and salty-sweet, but even if they tasted like cardboard (which they certainly don't!) I would buy them to support vegan treats at the corporate empire that is Starbucks.

Make sure to look ALL AROUND your local Starbucks - the cookies may be in a separate display! But even if you don't see them, ASK! Supply and demand, people.

So I was in San Francisco last week and the Starbucks by my hotel had these (and they also carried Two Moms in the Raw Granola ... also vegan and raw!). I snatched up some granola and cookies to take home, also assuming my Starbucks in Memphis would not have either. I haven't gone into a Starbucks since I've been home, but now I will go investigate for sure. Thanks for the tip!

Oh, and thanks for saying I don't look almost 30. That means a lot. I'm feeling a little old these days...not that 30 is old. But you know. It's older than 20, right?

Haha I'm telling you, look around and see if you find them behind you! Let me know.

And oh my gosh Bianca, you don't look a day over 23.
