Today I decided to go all the way left and try something out of my comfort zone!!
I like matcha but I only get it with vanilla or brown sugar 🫣
I didn't make any changes to the drink and I'll give it a solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️/ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I'd get it again but the no blueberry the cereal milk is sweet enough on its own. It definitely tastes like a bowl of fruity pebbles. Did you try it??? Yay OR Nay
... Read moreOkay, so who else has seen all the buzz about Dunkin's secret menu or viral drink creations? I finally decided to step way out of my usual coffee order routine and try something completely different: the infamous 'Fruity Pebbles Matcha' or, as some call it, the 'Cereal Milk Matcha Latte'! My usual go-to is a simple matcha with vanilla or brown sugar, so this was a leap of faith into the unknown.
For those curious about the exact order, I went all in with what's often dubbed the 'Blueberry Cereal Matcha.' The drink I received was an Iced Matcha Latte with 3 Matcha Powder scoops, 3 Blueberry Shots, and a generous pour of Cereal Milk. Seeing the light green hue, a clear cup, and that specific label detailing "Md Ice Matcha Latte, 3 Matcha Pwdr, 3 Blueberry Shot, Cereal Milk" really set the stage for this unique taste test.
First sip? Wow! It genuinely does taste like a bowl of Fruity Pebbles. The cereal milk syrup at Dunkin' is surprisingly spot-on in capturing that sweet, nostalgic flavor from your favorite childhood breakfast cereal. It's creamy, sweet, and undeniably fun. If you're into playful, dessert-like drinks, this aspect is a definite win. It's the kind of drink that puts a smile on your face because it's so unexpectedly accurate to its namesake.
However, there was one component that didn't quite hit the mark for me: the blueberry shot. While I love blueberries, in this particular Fruity Pebbles Matcha Latte, it felt a little out of place. It added an extra layer of sweetness that, combined with the already sweet cereal milk, made the drink almost too sweet for my preference. It also slightly masked the pure cereal flavor that I was really enjoying. If I were to order this Cereal Milk Matcha again, I'd definitely skip the blueberry shot entirely. I think the Cereal Milk Matcha Latte stands strong on its own, delivering that Fruity Pebbles vibe perfectly without any extra fruitiness.
For anyone wanting to try this viral Dunkin' creation, here are a few customization tips based on my experience:
Start Simple: Order an Iced Matcha Latte and add the Cereal Milk swirl. This will give you the core Fruity Pebbles Matcha experience without any extra flavors.
Adjust Sweetness: The Cereal Milk is quite sweet. You might want to ask for fewer pumps or swirls if you prefer a less sugary drink.
Experiment with Other Syrups: If blueberry isn't your jam, but you still want a little something extra, try adding vanilla or even raspberry for a different fruity twist that might complement the cereal milk better.
Consider a Hot Version: While my drink was an Iced Matcha Latte, you could probably ask for a hot version of the Cereal Milk Matcha if that's more your style, especially on a chilly day.
Overall, I'd give this drink a solid 3 out of 5 stars. It's an exciting, adventurous drink that truly lives up to its Fruity Pebbles Matcha name thanks to that fantastic cereal milk. It's worth trying at least once, especially if you're looking for something fun and different from Dunkin'. Just be mindful of those blueberry shots – they might not be for everyone in this particular combo! Have you tried it? What were your thoughts? Yay or Nay on the blueberry?
