How Many Calories in a Starbucks Mini Frappuccino?

Those Starbucks Frappuccinos sure do look tempting on a hot, Summer day, but at 520 calories, ordering a 24-ounce Caramel Frappuccino wouldn't be the best choice for someone watching their weight. But Starbucks thinks you deserve to indulge a little! So for a limited time, Starbucks is adding mini 10-ounce-size Frappuccinos to its coffee family, for health-conscious people who don't want to go crazy on the calories. Currently, three sizes are available: 12-ounce, 16-ounce, and 24-ounce, and although this newer, smaller size is only being offered until July 6, perhaps the chain will make it a permanent size if customers are into it.

Whether you're into Mocha Frappuccinos, Green Tea Frappuccinos, or the latest S'mores Frappuccinos, all flavors are available in this smaller size. To give you an idea of how many calories you'll save, check out the comparison below:

24-oz. Coffee Frappuccino (made with whole milk): 350 calories, 69 grams sugar
16-oz. Coffee Frappuccino (made with whole milk): 240 calories, 50 grams sugar
12-oz. Coffee Frappuccino (made with whole milk): 180 calories, 36 grams sugar
10-oz. Coffee Frappuccino (made with whole milk): 120 calories, 24 grams sugar

24-oz. Coffee Light Frappuccino (made with skim milk): Info not available
16-oz. Coffee Light Frappuccino (made with skim milk): 110 calories, 23 grams sugar
12-oz. Coffee Light Frappuccino (made with skim milk): Info not available
10-oz. Coffee Light Frappuccino (made with skim milk): 60 calories, 13 grams sugar

Starbucks Frappuccinos are completely customizable, so aside from ordering this new 10-ounce size, you can cut calories by using nonfat milk instead of whole, holding the whipped cream, and skipping the flavored syrup on top.
