Homemade Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino
This homemade Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino is the perfect fall treat. The best part is, with less than 200 calories, it’s much healthier compared to the Starbucks version.
Don’t get me wrong – I’m a big fan of Starbucks. There’s always something new you can find on their endless list of beverages. And who doesn’t love a classic Frappuccino?
The problem is that these drinks are loaded with sugar and calories. A grande size (medium) comes in at a staggering 420 calories!
That’s why I came up with this homemade Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino. It’s not only a healthier recipe, but it tastes delicious and will cost you less money to make.
