Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004Starbucks' Frappa Carb Count?
Hi, A question from a newbie in the UK -- I love the frozen coffees from Starbucks and am hoping that as they are made from cream, ice cubes and coffee only that the carb count won't be high......I have drank them whilst lo-carbing and they don't give me a carb high or cravings but would like to know the actual carb content....I have checked the Starbucks site but no info there.......TIA MJH > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > know the actual carb content....I have checked the Starbucks site but no > info there.......TIA I entered "starbucks nutrition" into google and got some results - here's one http://www.dietfacts.com/search.asp?searchKey=starbucks . I don't know if the product names or sizes are the same as in the UK, but it should give you a place to start. Again with the assumption that these things are the same in the UK as in the US, I think you have forgotten a key ingredient in the coffee frappaccino - you haven't noticed that they taste cloyingly sweet? They have some kind of sugary syrup added to them. Here's nutrition data: http://www.dietfacts.com/item.asp?itemid=14930 You can ask them at the store what ingredients go into it, and maybe ask them to leave out an ingredient you don't want. carla > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > but would like to know the actual carb content....I have checked the > Starbucks site but no info there.......TIA I have no idea if the stores in the US make them the same way as in the UK but here's the nutrition counts for the US. http://www.starbucks.com/retail/nutrition_beverages.asp You might be able to ask for more specific info at your local Starbucks. >> Hi, >> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > >You might be able to ask for more specific info at your local Starbucks. I checked out a bunch of their coffees and they are extremely high in carbs. Most are 30-60 carbs in a small(Tall) drink. Only the basic cafe americana(black,2g) or cafe latte(with milk,13g) are lower carbs.

I have a smoothie maker, so I'll run it through that. Will let you know of the outcome! Sheila > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > know the actual carb content....I have checked the Starbucks site but no > info there.......TIA http://www.calorieking.com/foods lists an espresso frappucino as having 46g of carbs. they're full of sugar. not recommended. > A question from a newbie in the UK -- I love the frozen coffees from > Starbucks and am hoping that as they are made from cream, ice cubes and > coffee only that the carb count won't be high......I have drank them whilst > lo-carbing and they don't give me a carb high or cravings but would like to > know the actual carb content....I have checked the Starbucks site but no > info there.......TIA They have a *LOAD* of sugar!!! I can't drink them at all without getting a splitting headache! You can make your own that are just as good if not better: You need a blender. Strong coffee or espresso; can also use instant. Cream. Splenda. Some unsweetened Hershey's powder if you like mochas. Ice cubes. It's better YET if you make ice cubes made of coffee. I find it tastes just like Frappucinos. >It's better YET if you make ice cubes made of coffee. Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! GREAT idea!!!!
