Starbucks and their "Frapuccino's"
I'm sure some of your guys have tried that icey cool, coffee tasting drink from Starbucks called the Frapuccino. Are drinks like these quite un healthy or are they not too bad?

Alright, here's the deal. I went here:http://www.nutritiondata.com/foods-0...000000000.html
I didn't look at all of them, but clicked on a few and noticed a few things:
-all of them had little fat content....but
-They are loaded with sugar and carbs.
Bottom line, I'd say they are no good. Go grab a green or grey tea from Starbucks!

The only thing from Starbucks that REMOTELY passes for acceptable is a
NONFAT, SUGAR-FREE VANILLA LATTE
this is essentially 8 oz. skim milk, 4 oz. dark coffee, DaVinci Gourmet Sugar Free Vanilla syrup

I agree, there is a place for everything in moderation. Not everyone wants to be 5% BF. For just being healthy starbucks won't kill you.Originally Posted by BFD ZioCell Tech- Derived from Chuck Norris's DNA
