I ordered a small Caramel light Frappucino today at Starbucks. But I'm not sure what size I ordered. I asked for a small. Is a small Tall, Grande, or Venti?



I calcuted a Tall at 3 POINTS
Grande at 3 Points also and
Venti as 4 Points

BTW: I thought it was OK. It was more ice than Caramel flavoring. I had about 1/4 cup crushed ice left after I sucked all the flavor out. :hyper:

I'm pretty sure they gave you a Tall, Samandmom - that's the smallest size.

I really like these! I can't even tell that they're "light" compared to the regular Frappuccino, and I use them as a great treat when I'm out shopping. I like the coffee flavor - slightly less calories, but still tastes great. I haven't tried the other flavors yet. Two thumbs up from me!

I'm not a Frappuccino expert :p but it sounds like yours wasn't mixed quite enough. I've had one that was fabulous, completely mixed like a shake - and another that had a bunch of ice left at the end. I guess it depends on your "barista".

aw shoot darn! if i had read this before I would've ordered the Grande -- same pts as the tall!!

I just tried the carmel light frappy today and mine was YUM! I tasted carmel all the way through; tried not to totally slurp it down and the ice melted as I drank it, nothing left but a tad of froth. sounds like you had a bummer one samandmom; maybe ask about it when you order and express your dissatisfaction??

I LOVE the Caramel Light Frap!!! They are great and low in calories, what more could you ask for. You did get a Tall if you ordered a Small. :)

yea but if the tall and the grande are the same in pts -- i'll order a grande next time!!

i saw on Starbucks website several other flavors in the light frappy; have you tried any other ones??? there was a white chocolate one that caught my eye!

Next time you order one say, "Double blended". They run it throught the blending cycle twice.....gets rid of those ice chunks!

Now I'm off to check out the web site!
