The Starbucks Vanilla Bean Crème Frappuccino Blended Beverage, Explained
The Vanilla Bean Crème Frappuccino is the Frappuccino with no coffee in it: milk, ice, crème base and vanilla bean powder blended thick and topped with whipped cream. It is the drink most parents order for children at Starbucks, and the one adults order when they want the Frappuccino texture without any caffeine.
How it tastes
Like a vanilla milkshake, only lighter in the mouth because it is blended with ice rather than ice cream. The vanilla bean flecks give it a real vanilla flavor rather than a candy one. A Grande has 380 calories and 52 grams of sugar, the same as a Caramel Frappuccino, and zero caffeine. The Tall is 260 calories, which is the size most kids get.
How to order it
No whip saves about 80 calories. Nonfat milk trims a little more. Because there is no coffee, it takes flavor add ons well: a pump of caramel or hazelnut, a drizzle of mocha, or strawberry puree blended in. It is also the base for a lot of secret menu drinks, from the Cotton Candy Frappuccino to the Birthday Cake version.
Compared with the coffee versions
The Caramel Frappuccino has the same calories with 90 mg of caffeine. The Strawberry Crème is the fruit version of this recipe. For a lighter caffeine free cold drink, the Pink Drink is 140 calories in a Grande.
Who it is for
Children, anyone avoiding caffeine, and anyone who wants dessert in a cup. It is a treat rather than a daily drink. At the reference store a Tall is $5.45 and a Grande $6.05 for pickup, fifty cents below the coffee Frappuccinos of the same size.
