About Frappuccino
A Frappuccino is a blended iced coffee beverage that originated in the United States. It gained popularity through coffeehouse chains, particularly Starbucks, which made it a signature offering.

Its nutritional profile varies significantly depending on the size and ingredients chosen. A basic Frappuccino with skim milk has approximately 83 calories per serving, 0.83g protein, 14.6g carbohydrates, 1.25g fat, and minimal fiber. It provides trace amounts of calcium (33mg) and iron (0.08mg), but is generally low in vitamins and minerals.

How does a Frappuccino compare to other coffee drinks?
