Next time you're at Starbucks to get your favorite Starbucks frappuccino, if you're trying to be healthy and are the type to count calories, you may want to avoid the frap and replace it with passion tea (unsweetened). Lets take a closer look..
Ingredients in Starbucks Frappuccino:
1 1/2 cups crushed iced
2-1 ounce shots of espresso 3/4 cup your choice of milk
3 tablespoons sugar (more or less depending on preference)
optional whipped cream in a can or freshly made and chocolate syrup
Ingredients in Starbucks passion tea (unsweetened):
6 Tazo passion tea bags.
3/4 cup of sugar
1 tablespoon of raspberry syrup.
Ice
16 oz water
As you can see, the passion tea sounds a lot healthier than the Frappuccino seems. The frap has 2 1/4 as much sugar as the passion tea does. The espresso and whipped cream add more calories to the drink as well. Incase you didn't know, any kind of tea is extremely healthy for you.
So next time you make a trip to Starbucks, and coffee is not on your mind, when deciding between drinks, keep the calorie count in mind (that is if you care).
