Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino Light You Can Now Make at Home

This Starbucks creation, which cuts the fat, carbs and calories of the original Frappuccino is a top-seller with coffee-house regulars. Starbucks says their light version is 54% fewer calories per serving than the original Frappuccino. Sounds pretty good so we’ve tackled a skinny recipe to enjoy at home. Our favorite is their caramel one. We’ve cut the fat and calories by using 1% milk, mostly Splenda and just a little sugar. Adding just a small amount of sugar really adds to the taste. You really don’t need much. The skinny on ours is 132 calories and 1.8g fat. This includes a little light whipped cream and caramel drizzle on top. A Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino Light has 152 calories and 1.3 grams of fat not including whipped cream or caramel drizzle. Sit down, relax and enjoy this rich tasting, chilly treat. Have fun skinny sipping!
