Calories Broken Down<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nBelow we have included a list of the common Frappuccino flavors and how many calories are in each one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These calorie numbers are for a Grande size made with whole milk and whipped cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From above, it\u2019s obvious how many calories and just how much sugar is in your average frappuccino. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, with some small simple changes, you might be able to save a large amount of these calories without having to substitute too much on taste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you switch to non-fat milk or almond or coconut milk, for example, this can reduce the number of calories in your drink significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although whipped cream is seen as a staple part of the Frappuccino, giving this up could help you cut those calories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The list of calories we have included above is also only for grande sizes and by cutting down this serving size, you will automatically save calories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Starbucks now also makes \u2018light\u2019 versions of some of the drinks listed above, so if you are trying to cut back calories, ask your barista if there is a light version of your favorite drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Special Flavors <\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nStarbucks has several different flavors which come out only at special events or for particular seasons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Examples of this include the S\u2019mores Frappuccino or the Pokemon GO Frappuccino which was tied to the specific event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Common flavors do have a shelf life too and new ones are constantly being added as older ones are removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Christmas time is also a popular time of year for new and exciting flavors of Frappuccinos to come out and most recently, customers could enjoy the Toasted White Chocolate Frappuccino, which was filled with rich flavors and aromas of white chocolate and is said to have a taste which is unique to Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Halloween is also a great time to experience a special flavor of Frappucino and special drinks over the years have included the IT frappucino, the green tea Franken Frappuccino, and the vampire Frappuccino.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A popular limited-time beverage is the Unicorn Frappuccino and this gained fame for its interesting approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Consumers of the drink loved how the flavor changed, as did the color. However, as the cup could hold around 500 calories with 76 grams of sugar, it received a lot of criticism and it is no longer available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How To Make A Frappuccino At Home<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nTo make a version of the simple Frappuccino at home, you will need the following ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1-1.5 cups of crushed ice<\/li> One-Shot of Espresso that has been left to cool down (Two if you want to make it strong)<\/li> \u00be cup of milk<\/li> Sugar<\/li> Whipped Cream<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nPlace the first four ingredients straight into your blender and let it run for around 30-45 seconds. Then simply pour into a cup and top with as much whipped cream as your heart desires. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to treat yourself or impress your friends, garnish it with some chocolate syrup or some chocolate shavings and add some of your favorite syrup toppings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to make a caramel Frappuccino, simply copy the recipe above, using the same ingredients but add in \u2153 cup of caramel sauce and caramel syrup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avoid putting the caramel syrup into the blender with the other ingredients and instead save it for later when you have poured the mixture into the cup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can then top with whipped cream and apply generously to the top. You could even swirl the caramel syrup around the edges of the cup before pouring the mixture in for an extra caramel explosion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you fancied something lighter, perhaps try the strawberry Frappuccino. Simply use the same ingredients but you will also need, strawberry puree sauce, simple syrup, and strawberries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add all of the ingredients that should be put in a blender and then pour into a cup that has been lined with around 1 tablespoon of strawberry puree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Topped with whipped cream and an extra strawberry on top and you are good to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
