Starbucks

I was in Starbucks last night with my boyfriend, who decided to ask how the Light Frappacino varies from the original. I always thought it was just the milk- Skim vs 2%.... I was wrong. They are also sweetened with Splenda!! 

I came home to research it, to make sure the guy knew what he was talking about... and it's true! The mocha syrup ect adds sugars, but you can get the carmel version completely sugar free (aside from the milk sugars)  with the SF carmel syrup, or just the basic coffee one... and have it plain or with a SF syrup.

I will likely still stick to my regular drink at Starbucks, but I thought this was nice to know if I ever felt the need for a change!  So I just wanted to share!!

Perhaps I was the only one who DIDN'T know this? .... Wouldn't surprise me! I'm slow! hehe

I have a mind thing about Frap's ever since I was accidentally given a full sugar one and had my first dumping episode.  My mind immediately links dumping to dislike and alas, even though in my mind I love Frapp's, I can't bring myself to drink one. 

But I do get the kids light Frapps.  I heard they phased out decaf Frapps though.  If that's true, that sucks.

Yes, I heard that last night... no decaf Frapps. I rarely get a coffee regular, and not decaf. So... it's another reason I won't be getting these often....

In a public place like that I would be afraid that some "moron" would put real syrop in my Frap, so I am scared to even try on...Latte for me anytime, even with a full milk - I can handle that, the sugar though... not so much..

Decaf mocha frap is gone in most Starbucks. A few still have the decaf mix. You can still get the decaf frap though. Ask for it to be made with the cream base and add a shot of decaf espresso. My husband gets decaf and this is what they make for him. I get the sugar free fat free decaf lattes. The Starbucks I do to knows what I want before I do most of the time so I don't worry about getting the full sugar version.
