Sugar-Free Caramel Frappuccino

[Hoping]

I got a Sugar-Free Caramel Frappuccino from starbucks. It was very similar to the real stuff. Was this legal or no?
Thanks

how did it taste

Re: Sugar-Free Caramel Frappuccino

It tasted a lot like the real thing, like a regular Caramel Frappucino.
I suspect it had milk in it, which is a no-no still. But it was really really really a lot like the real thing. I felt like it was a little too sweet to be made with real sugar. To be honest, they either did a really good job at disguising Splenda or they used sugar. I couldn't tell, that's why I'm asking.
If it is legal, I highly recommend it.
The only difference is that it didn't have the caramel on the bottom or the top and I asked them to leave out the whipped cream.

I could not tell you but be carefull a few weeks ago I wanted a pumpkin spice coffee that looked really good from dunkin doughnuts and the minute I drank it I knew I made a boo boo. I went home and checked it out loads of sugar and milk. So thats good it said sugar free so at least thats something.

Really the only way to know if it was legal would be to ask them exactly what they put in it!

Otherwise if you can find the drink you had listed on their website you could maybe work out if it was OK to order.

If your version isnt there you could email and ask them.

Perhaps you can post their response if it turned out to be an induction-legal beverage to help others know what to order.

Re: Sugar-Free Caramel Frappuccino

On digging around on their site I found they have a comparison page where you can also alter the size of drink and type of milk used to decide which one of their drinks suits your needs better.

To get to that page instead of selecting a drink on the page I posted the link for in my previous post just click on the link called 'Compare all Beverages'.

It doesnt look as if they offer info for the sugarfree syrup option but I am sure they will tell you the difference between that and their standard syrups to do the maths yourself.

I e-mailed them, so hopefully I'll get an answer soon.

Re: Sugar-Free Caramel Frappuccino

It's not induction legal at all.

1. Coffee = no no
2. It's made with milk, but even if it were made with half and half or heavy cream there's so much of it in a cup, it would blow allowed amounts right out of the water. The coffees come in 12, 16, and 20oz. - You're only allowed 3tbsp of heavy cream a day.
3. For a small I believe they use 3-4 pumps of syrup which would blow sweetener allottment right out of the water too. For a large it's 6 pumps, I believe.

So in a word: Nope.

I drank half of a small one. Oh, well...guess I'll just up my water. I normally don't drink anything, but water either.

I had my fiance call Starbucks and they said everything was sugar-free except the syrup they put on top, but we didn't have any syrup on ours. We specifically asked for everything to be sugar-free and no whipped cream.

By the way, Elizellen, thank you for looking up that information

That's good you didn't put whipped cream in it because they told me there is a little bit of sugar in theirs.
