A Berry Bad Idea
Starbucks' Strawberries & Creme Frappuccino Blended Creme not only uses the word "creme" too many times in its name, but it also has too many calories and fat grams. One might think, "how bad can strawberries, milk, ice and whipped cream be?" Uhhh, try 410 calories and 11 grams of fat bad. And that's for the smallest size! Yikes. The bottom line is, there is absolutely no reason to partake in one of these fat-filled strawberry shakes, especially since our version of the blended beverage won, HANDS DOWN, in a side by side taste test. Men, women, children (and even some small animals) preferred our 119-calorie, 1g-of-fat "Strawberry Cloud" over The Bucks' calorie-infested pink frap. So ditch Starbucks' strawberry screw-up and try a Strawberry Cloud instead. This recipe will rock your frozen drink-loving world.
