Green tea frappuccino

I love these from Starbucks ! Taste so refreshing. Online it doesn't have nutrition listed for it. How much caffeine would u guess? Or does anybody else get these occasionally?

  • I'm guessing it has a ton of caffeine because I drank it once while pg and became extremely dizzy! Pre pg I drank them all the time along with other caffeine drinks without any issues.

  • Thanks! I've been wondering about this. I only have maybe one a week. And I don't drink any other caffeine that day. So I figured it was ok.
  • I get the mocha light frap but I get it decaf :. I don't know if they can do that with green tea though

    Just remember green tea inhibits folic acid absorption so drink it at a different time than taking prenatal or extra supplements. And eat lots of folate rich foods!
  • LOVE the Green Tea Frappuccino! I worked at Starbucks, and it was one of the drinks I like.  Just to say though...it's more sugar than caffeine lol. The 'matcha powder' they use only will get you about 95 mg of caffeine.  If you want to cut down the caffeine just ask for a tall or grande worth of scoops for your venti...then you can have a big one with less caffeine :)

  • yup, I work at starbucks now... the caffeine you really don't have to worry about 50-100 mg depending on size. It's the sugar that is not the really good part! There are Drink nutrition pamphlets that the stores have for all their drinks that you can get at their condiment bar or they may have a stash at the register. You might want to get one and check it out and see what you might want to get so you can make an educated decision on whether that is your drink of choice or maybe there is something else you might want.
