Chocolate Frappuccino Starbucks. Unusual Starbucks drinks around the world

Frappuccino is Starbucks signature drink.. It traditionally consists of espresso, syrup, low-fat milk and whipped cream.

The frappuccino recipe can hardly be called new. Even before coffee chains appeared in all countries of the world, restaurants and cafes were used to mixing coffee and milk. You can read about the benefits and dangers of coffee with the addition of milk.

The nuance that distinguishes the frappuccino recipe from other recipes is that the creators added crushed ice to the mixture of milk and coffee, and then beat the resulting mixture until a fluffy foam appears.

Topping can be anything. The taste of the drink depends on his choice.

The name of the drink was formed from two words. “Frappe” in French means “chilled”, and the second part of the word comes from the well-known “cappuccino”. In English - frappuccino. Read about how to make cappuccino at home in ours.

For the first time, under this name, it was served in the 90s in one of the American coffee houses in Massachusetts, The Coffee Connection.

In 1994, Starbucks took over this establishment, and a year later both the recipe and the very name of the coffee drink already belonged to this brand. Now Frappuccino is a registered trademark.

Many people have a question regarding the use of this word. Frappuccino - he or it? According to the rules of the Russian language, this the word can be both masculine and neuter.

A cup of aromatic coffee with a wonderful cake or dessert is an ideal pastime for many. However, too frequent visits to the cafe can affect the figure. Therefore, people who monitor their weight are probably interested in learning about the energy value of the dishes offered by their favorite establishment. Today we will talk about the calorie content of the Starbucks menu.

Currently, the Starbucks coffee chain can be found in almost every city in the world. The institution has become the most popular and profitable in its direction, overtaking its competitors.

background

At the end of the twentieth century in America, three people with the most ordinary professions (a teacher and a writer) decided to do something special, change their lives and start all over again. A lot of ideas visited friends, but, thinking about the next project over a cup of coffee, they came up with the main idea - opening a store where they can sell grains of this drink.

Having recreated the idea, they occasionally held tastings until they realized that people are much more pleasant not to sit at home with hot coffee, but to spend time in a cozy place with company. And soon the shop was retrained into a coffee shop. This served as his expansion and the creation of a whole chain of Starbucks cafes. The menu also expanded, first desserts and other drinks were added, and then main dishes and breakfasts.

Recently, in America, they decided to create a folder with the calorie content of each dish from the menu in every coffee shop, which will help customers make the right choice.

Popular dishes

Frappuccino

The most famous and beloved product in the Starbucks chain is the frappuccino. This is a coffee drink, which includes a lot of syrups and whipped cream. Therefore, it is very high in calories. And about 15 tablespoons of sugar per serving plus heavy cream make it a cocktail for future subcutaneous fat.

The presence of such an amount of sugar causes a feeling of pleasure and addiction in the neural centers, which acts akin to a mild drug. And the composition of syrups includes fructose, which is quite harmful, but a sugar substitute that is beneficial for manufacturers. It tastes much sweeter, and the calorie content is very high. It also acts on neural impulses, causing addiction.

For the sake of 5-minute pleasure, 500 kilocalories is a big enough sacrifice.

Hot chocolate

The most requested drink at Starbucks on Christmas and New Year's Eve is peppermint spiced hot chocolate. The recipe includes heavy cream and chocolate, which are quite nutritious in themselves. And, of course, a large amount of syrups and sugar. Together they make up 750 kilocalories.

If you consider that Starbucks dessert is often taken with a drink, for example, small muffins, which consist of 400 kcal, or cookies with chocolate and cranberries (about 500 kcal), caramel waffles - 200 kcal. at 24, then for one such snack you consume half the daily calorie intake.

Such a gift to your body can really be made only for the New Year.

Other drinks

Latte (220 kcal.) And macchiato (240 kcal.) have the highest calorie content from the menu list. This is because they contain many sweet additives, such as syrup, cream and chocolate. Americano (160 kcal.) The most optimal choice, although it contains a lot of sugar. A cappuccino without sugar will cost 140 kilocalories.

Also on the Starbucks menu are regular tea, mango tea, and spiced tea latte. By itself, tea does not carry many calories. But a large amount of syrup is added to it, which raises the calorie content of ordinary tea in 300 g to 190 kcal, spiced latte tea to 160, and mango tea will consist of 250 kcal.

What is a frappuccino

By itself, the recipe for this coffee is not new. Mixing coffee and milk began long before the advent of network coffee shops. The novelty was that crushed ice was added to the mixture of coffee and milk and all the ingredients were whipped until foam was obtained. The creators of this recipe were clearly inspired by the traditional American drink "granita". It is made from frozen fruit juice, breaking the ice into small pieces.

Frappuccino is a drink made from coffee, milk, syrup and crushed ice, whipped until foamy and garnished with whipped cream.

  • The name is formed from two words: the French "frappe", which means - chilled and the well-known "cappuccino".
  • The name first appeared on the menu of one of the chain coffee shops in the United States back in the early 90s, but in 1994 the establishments were absorbed by Starbucks, and since 1995 the name of the recipe and the very name of frappuccino belong to Starbucks.
  • Frappuccino is a registered trademark.
  • Frappuccino base - espresso, skim milk, topping and crushed ice, decoration - whipped cream.
  • Topping can be anything, from his choice the taste of the finished drink changes - chocolate, strawberry, lemon, banana.

frappuccino coffee recipe

Frappuccino ingredients and proportions may vary. To prepare a basic, classic frappuccino recipe, you will need:

  1. Double shot of espresso - 100 ml.
  2. Low fat milk - 1.5-2% - 100 ml.
  3. Sugar - 1 teaspoon. You can leave it out if you don't like overly sweet tastes.
  4. Syrup to taste and availability - 1 tablespoon. Caramel and chocolate syrup are considered basic.
  5. Ice - 2-3 large cubes.
  6. Whipped cream - 1 tablespoon.

Frappuccino: varieties

Despite its small age, or maybe because of it, the recipe has many options. Some of them are sure to catch your eye on the Starbucks menu or other coffee shops.

  • Light frappuccino. For its manufacture, skimmed milk and vegetable cream of minimum fat content are used, so the calorie content of the drink is less than in the classic recipe.
  • Caffeine free frappuccino. It contains decaffeinated coffee.
  • Frappuccino cream. It's more of a dessert. It contains no coffee at all. But there is a sweet cream that looks like pudding, and milk frothed with a cappuccinatore.
  • Vegetarian frappuccino. In it, cow's milk is replaced with soy or coconut, and instead of ordinary cream, they take those made from vegetable fat.
  • Tazoberi frappuccino. This drink is another proprietary recipe from Starbucks. It replaces coffee with Tazo's signature tea. It is complemented by a mixture of juices and fruit syrups.

The name of a frappuccino may contain the words: currant, raspberry, caramel or cherry. They denote the syrup that is included in the recipe. Frappuccino moka is a drink with chocolate topping.

How to serve frappuccino

Traditionally, the drink is served in a tall glass glass with a straw. In a properly prepared drink, there is finely chopped ice that remains after preparation.

Frappuccino is a rich and dense dessert drink, so it is served as an independent dish.
