Ahh... Summer is almost here. This new Starbucks creation reminds me of the good old Orange-cicle from my childhood & getting a sweet treat from the ice cream man when he rolled through our neighborhood..
Who says that you can't feed your inner child??? LOL. I will have to try this treat this summer. A nice change from my usual Iced Mocha or Carmel lite Frappuccino... :) ( I always order mine without the whipped cream. I figure if I am going to splurge, less calories is more.. LOL)
Starbucks Orange Crème Frappuccino Light Blended Crème
Crème Puff!
If you're in the market for a drinkable Creamsicle (or a "50/50 bar", as people in the South call 'em), then read closely, because we're about to make your day.
The Starbucks folks have outdone themselves with their new, limited-edition Orange Crème Frappuccino Light Blended Crème. This blended frozen beverage is a delicious treat with a PERFECT amount of orange (not overpowering) and an even MORE perfect amount of "crème" (which we think tastes like vanilla).
And this drink's stats are as exciting as its taste. Order the Tall (12 ounces), and it'll cost you just 110 calories (2 Points). A Grande clocks in at 140 and is HUUUUGE (we actually ordered this size by mistake and could barely finish it).
And here are some helpful hints regarding this new chilled orange bev:
1. Remember to stress the word LIGHT. If you order the regular one (which is actually more popular), it will have WAY more calories and will be packing fat.
2. Don't ruin a good thing by ad ding whipped cream to it. Splurge on that stuff, and you'll add around 100 calories and 9 grams of fat to your Frap (um, ludicrous).
3. Consider ordering it a tad less sweet (by requesting less of the Light Frappuccino base, or simply less orange syrup). It may even taste better that way, and you'll save a few calories as well.
There you have it. Now head on over to Starbucks and start sippin'!
