What is a frappuccino?

A Frappuccino is a blended iced coffee drink trademarked and sold by Starbucks. It typically consists of coffee or crème base, blended with ice and other ingredients such as syrups and topped with whipped cream and flavorings. The drink is available in various flavors and sizes.

The base of a Frappuccino can either be coffee or a crème (non-coffee) version. Coffee Frappuccinos contain coffee, while crème Frappuccinos don't, making them a popular option for those who prefer a coffee-free beverage or for children.

Popular flavors include caramel, mocha, and vanilla, although seasonal and regional variations exist. You can also customize your Frappuccino with different syrups, toppings, and milk options.

While Frappuccinos are a sweet treat, they can be high in sugar and calories. Consider looking at nutritional information and customizing your drink to be lower in sugar if desired. For example, asking for sugar-free syrups or a lighter whipped cream option.
