How many calories and how much protein are in a Mocha Frappuccino?
A typical 16oz (Grande) Mocha Frappuccino from Starbucks contains around 370 calories and 4 grams of protein when made with whole milk and whipped cream. Calorie and protein content may vary depending on milk choice and additional toppings.
Can I have a Mocha Frappuccino on a keto diet?

Are there any health concerns with drinking a Mocha Frappuccino?
Mocha Frappuccinos are high in sugar and saturated fat, which can contribute to weight gain and increased risk of heart disease if consumed frequently. It's best to enjoy them as an occasional treat rather than a regular beverage.
What is an appropriate portion size for a Mocha Frappuccino?
A 12oz Tall size, which contains approximately 240 calories and 34 grams of sugar, is a better portion if you want to manage calorie and sugar intake. Opting for smaller sizes or customizations like almond milk can also help.
How does a Mocha Frappuccino compare to a regular iced coffee?
A Mocha Frappuccino is significantly higher in sugar, calories, and fat compared to an iced coffee, which is typically calorie-free when black. The Frappuccino is more of a dessert beverage, while iced coffee is a lighter, everyday option.
