Hey I've always drank Mocha Frapucinnos, and I know they have light fraps now. My question is to someone who has tasted the regular and the light, does the light taste any different???
I've worked at a Starbucks and honestly the only difference is that it's not as sweet, they use a lighter coffee-base and don't put whipped cream on it. The lighter frap mixes have 46% less fat and 1/3 less sugar.
The light frapuccinos taste a lot more bluntly laid out, like you can taste the mocha much more. But if you get the normal kind it tastes a lot more creamy, and it tastes like the full package with that sugary whipped cream. I say that if you feel like you need something fattening and delicious, might as well go for the normal. But if you are like me and like to eat something delicious and not consume like half or alot of your daily calories at once, go with the light kind!
The light mocha Frap tastes Less sweet. That is the only difference I have noticed
The light fraps taste just as good and they have about 130-180 calories for a grande size. I have tasted the mocha, coffee and caramel frapuccino's and am a huge fan!
There is a different taste between light and regular. The main difference is 1) the consistency - Frappuccino Light is lighter and airier, whereas the regular is thicker; and 2) the mild Splenda aftertaste. Personally I like Frappuccino Light, so just remember that different doesn't always equal bad. :-)
