Nutrition Tips

- Request skim milk or an unsweetened plant-based milk to lower the overall fat content.
- Opt for a smaller size (Small/Tall) to better manage sugar and calorie intake.
- Choose sugar-free syrups if available to reduce the high glycemic load of the drink.
- Treat a frappe as an occasional dessert rather than a daily caffeine source due to its high sugar levels.
