The ingredients list is super long and I think I'd rather stick to drinking coffee to get my caffeine and having a 100 calorie EAS advantage carb control protein drink if i really want a protein shake for breakfast.
In my experience the Special K breakfast bars and protein products aren't targeting the seriously health-conscious crowd who do research into other products and their nutritional value. Most of the Special K bars are pretty high in calories and skimp on the actual healthy parts -- fiber, protein, etc compared to "serious" health bars. I think Special K does well with the "casual dieting mom" demographic (lol) who want to eat something that won't make them feel guilty even though really it's not much better than a candy bar.
Nothing wrong with Special K, but it's not what you want if you're super serious about healthy eating. I love Special K products but my SO, who is a nutrition buff, would never touch them

I called and now they're claiming the coupons will come out next week. They completely dropped the ball on this campaign, it has caused me to have no desire to participate in any campaigns again.

I had a cup this morning and tbh, I thought it was sooo nasty! It really felt like I was drinking dollar store coffee...and I usually love Starbucks coffee. Even their instant coffee is better than the Blonde Roast!

Warning: the Starbucks coupons didn't work at cvs but the cashier was nice enough to manually input the coupon in their system. Just be careful if you use self checkout.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought it was awful! I struggled to finish the cup I made and definitely won't be making any more, so hopefully someone else in my house likes it. There was just something about the flavor that I couldn't get past.
This was my first campaign, so hopefully those of you that are more experienced can help me out. What do you do when you don't like a campaign product?

I didn't even finish my cup and won't be making more.
When you don't like something, just be honest. They want real opinions and they want them shared.

Darker roasts have more caffeine than lighter ones. That's why.
