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.
