34 Starbucks Drinks for Those Times You Just Need a Damn Dessert in a Cup
Balance is key to a healthy and happy lifestyle. And sometimes that means paying a visit to your local Starbucks store and buying the most delicious, decadent Frappuccino you can find—even if it contains a whopping 59 grams of sugar (we’re looking at you, Unicorn Frappuccino). That’s about 20 sugar cubes’ worth of sweetness—talk about a sugar rush.
But no matter what your sweet tooth is craving, chances are Starbucks has just the thing for you. From a Pink Drink full of strawberry, passionfruit, and coconut flavors, to a Midnight Mint Mocha Frappuccino loaded with coffee syrup and mint crystals, Starbucks is covering all the sugary bases—and we’re here for it.
Let’s not beat around the bush—a Frappuccino is clearly a glorified dessert in a cup. No, you probably wouldn’t want to order one of these every time you make that weekly, daily, or multi-daily (no judgment) visit to Starbucks. (Ginger Hultin, R.D.N., an Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics spokeswoman, previously told SELF she suggests opting for less-sweetened drinks when it comes to your regular caffeine fix.) But what we can say is: Everyone deserves a treat sometimes, damnit. And if a dessert in a cup is what you’re after, Starbucks is ready and willing to satisfy that craving.
The coffee chain has launched countless Frappuccinos over the years. And if you have an Instagram account, you can probably name two or three they’ve released so far in 2017. We’ve done you the favor of coming through the Starbucks archives to find 34 differently flavored Frappuccinos that look equally beautiful and delicious. Some are official menu classics and secret menu items you can snag year-round, and others are limited-edition treats or seasonal offerings that have already had their time in the sun. But all of them can give you inspiration for your next Starbucks order (hello customization!) or your next trip to the grocery store (DIY Frapps, here you come).
