What is it?
The Unicorn Frappuccino Blended Crème isn't a coffee-based frap; it's more of a creamy shake. It's made with mango syrup and features a fun blue swirl, a pile of whipped cream, and a topping of pink & blue powders. The pink powder is sweet, while the blue one is sour! It's only available until this Sunday (April 23rd), so act fast if you're interested! And you should be...How does it taste?
Like candy! SweeTarts, to be exact. The sweet & sour combo really works well here. Overall, we found it super yummy and worth the calorie count, as long as you order right! Speaking of which…Are there any tricks to ordering it?
You might think a creamy, candy-flavored frap is an automatic calorie catastrophe, but that's not the case. Stick with a Tall (12-oz.) cup, and skip the whip. When it comes to milk, go for almond milk or nonfat dairy milk. We tasted the Unicorn Frap both ways and prefer the nonfat milk, but either option is a good way to go! We’re not saying any version of this thing is as nutritious as an apple, of course, but if you want to indulge a little, here’s how to do it for under 200 calories...
