Frappuccino’s are delicious and can definitely be a great pick-me-up but they’re loaded with sugar, calories, and fat. For example, did you know that a venti java chip frap has roughly 600 calories, 21 grams of fat, and 87 grams of sugar?! That once delicious drink now might make you feel a little guilty.
But not to worry, order a guilt free blendicano instead! A blendicano is simply an americano (espresso and water) that you ask for blended. It’s not on the menu and the barista will most likely look at you weird when you order it, but they won’t say no.
To sweeten up this drink simply asked for a few pumps of your favorite sugar free syrup, such as vanilla or caramel, even add a splenda or two if you like your drinks really sweet. Also, once it’s blended it’ll have a somewhat of a foamy consistency, so you’re venti drink will easily fill a trenta cup!
Then, wa-la! You have a guilt free, sugar free, 25 calorie, copy cat frappuccino. Yes, I did just say 25 calorie. Not to mention, it’s remarkably cheaper. These drinks are delicious and packed with caffeine that’ll get you through the day.
