Adding Olive Oil to your Coffee
Starbucks has introduced a new line of coffee drinks made with extra virgin olive oil. The drinks are only available at select locations in Italy, but we were curious as to how the drink would taste.
According to Epidemiologist and Erie News Now Contributor Dr. Becky Dawson, there isn't much of a health benefit to this new addition.
"I think that we like to take things that we enjoy, such as having our morning coffee, and there's this desire to make it nutritious and make it better for us," said Dr, Dawson. "I think that we forget about the fact that it's okay to just have a cup of coffee because you enjoy the taste of it."
Gisele Littrell of the Tipsy Bean says it's not something they will be adding to their menu, but feel free to ask for olive oil in your coffee if you'd like to try it.
