Want a delicious frappuccino without the extra calories? Here are our picks of the best low-calorie Starbucks frappuccino drinks.
The frappuccino is an all-time favorite beverage created by Starbucks. They’re an indulgent and refreshing drink that can be enjoyed any time of year. Like most other edible treats, Starbucks frappuccinos tend to be very high in sugar and calories.
While most of their drinks are high in calories, there are some that are lower in calories and still taste great. This article will discuss the 10 best low-calorie Starbucks Frappuccino drinks (under 400 calories).
How to Reduce Calories in Your Frappuccino
Skip the Whipped Cream
Whipped cream can add a lot of calories, especially in larger drinks. An easy way to reduce calories while still being able to enjoy a delicious drink is to reduce the whipped cream or remove it completely.
Change the Milk
The type of milk can greatly impact the total number of calories in your Starbucks drink. Opt for non-dairy or low-fat milk to cut calories.
Fewer Pumps of Syrup
Many of the calories in a frappuccino come from its syrup. Ask for 1 pump less or even half the regular number of pumps of syrup to get a lower calorie frappuccino.
Go Sugar-Free
Starbucks has a sugar-free vanilla syrup option and it tastes fantastic! If you’re a lover of vanilla, try this syrup instead of the regular one.
Reduce/Change Toppings
Drizzles and other toppings are loaded with calories that may not be missed as much as you’d think. Ask your barista to skip the toppings on your frappuccino.
