Our official taste testers went out to test the all-new Halloween Holiday Frappachino at the local Starbucks. First we wanted to see how well it held up sitting on the table and how long it took to separate. So we ordered one, but did not drink it, instead let it sit there until it began to separate and then watched our second hand sweep to see how well it held up. Turns out very well indeed. The Coffee Based Pumpkin Spice Frappachino could sit there for a good 20-minutes without much separation, meaning you could pick one up and drive home, depending on traffic as a great treat for your family.

The calorie count was 320 of the small size, which is called a “Tall” as per the Official Starbucks menu. The “Grande Size” which is their medium size is 430 calories and a significantly greater impediment to your upcoming Holiday calorie counting South Beach Diet. The “Venti” size or very large size had over 545 calories in it, meaning if you do pick them up for the whole family, well be sure to schedule a brisk 20-30 minute walk around the block of neighborhood a few hours afterwards.

As a parent and a smart family member you know that somehow a Starbucks Treat around these special days can make all the difference in the world. Think on this.
