Marshawn Lynch creates Starbucks 'Beast Mode' Frappuccino

SEATTLE — Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch, with the help of Starbucks, now has his own Frappuccino to benefit his foundation.

According to Starbucks, the drink is a double mocha Frappuccino with a hint of mint and cream and just enough protein powder “to unleash your inner Beast Mode.” It's topped with whipped cream, then finished with a purple berry drizzle and a sprinkle of matcha.

The limited-edition beverage will be available at participating stores beginning October 22 and will be sold during the rest of the football season.

For every Beast Mode drink sold throughout the football season in Washington and Oakland, Starbucks will donate 24 cents to the Fam 1st Family Foundation, up to $100,000.

Starbucks will kick off the new collaboration and beverage with a minimum $24,000 contribution to the foundation.

Lynch and Buffalo Bills quarterback Joshua Johnson cofounded the Fam 1st Family Foundation in 2011 to mentor underprivileged children on the importance of education, literacy and self-esteem. The foundation conducts free summer football camps, hosts talent shows, collects back-to-school supplies and donates food and toys during the holidays to those in need, according to Starbucks.
