What's actually in the Unicorn Frappuccino?

 Dear Health Honeys, 🍯🦄

                     

 Hi everybody! Have you guys tried the Unicorn Frappuccino? I sure have! I woke up superrr early to get it, and it's so yummy!😋 They didn't have the unicorn cake pop, though😢. It tasted like mangos and raspberries, and a little sour! It is so colorful; it takes me back to when I was a kid! But what actually makes this drink so colorful and yummy? Let's find out!

The Unicorn Frappuccino has 8 ingredients: ice,🧊 milk,🥛 creme frappuccino syrup, mango syrup🥭, pink sweet powder,🩷 sour blue drizzle🫐, vanilla whipped cream, and a dusting of pink and blue sour powder. But today I am only going to go into the core components. The mango base, the blue drizzle, and the pink & blue toppings!

🥭The Mango Base

This is the main flavor of the frappuccino! It is made with creme frappuccino syrup, mango syrup,🍁 and milk and ice.🧊 The creme frappuccino syrup is a thick sugary base liquid. It is used to blend the ice and milk. 🪁The pink powder is literally just dried juice from red radishes🍎; it's like healthy food coloring to make the drink colorful! The milk and ice help to create a milkshake-like texture!🍹

🫐The Blue Drizzle

This flavor is what gives the Unicorn Fraapuccino its sour and tangy flavor!🍊 When it is mixed with the mango base, it gets its magical look! 🪄The blue drizzle is made with a white chocolate base,🍫 a classic syrup, and sour blue powder. 🔵The white chocolate base is made from condensed milk, sugar,🍬 cocoa butter, and coconut oil. It gives the drink a thick, creamy texture and sweet flavor! 🍭The classic syrup is just a simple syrup that helps keep the drizzle to the sides of the cups and helps it blend with the mango base. The sour blue powder is what gives the blue drizzle its blueness! 🍹Its sourness comes from citric acid, which is the same stuff that is used to make sour candies. 🍬The blueness comes from spirulina extract, which is a natural bluish-greenish algae. 

🩷 The Pink & Blue Toppings

These toppings add a little bit of sweetness and tartness! It is a mix of vanilla 😎whipped cream and a dusting of pink and blue sour powders. 🩷 Whipped cream is the iconic Starbucks whipped cream. It's made from heavy whipping cream and vanilla syrup that gives it a sweet and rich flavor! The pink dust is made of a combination of sugar, citric acid, and red radish🍊 juice powder for the bright pink color! The blue dust uses the same ingredients as the pink dust, except it gets its color from spirulina extract. 

☁Whipped Cream

It wouldn't be complete without the whipped cream!🍦 It gives the drink a soft, creamy topping and adds another layer of sweetness.🫐 Plus, it's so fun to lick after you finish your drink!👅 It is made from heavy whipping cream, which gives it a rich, thick, and creamy texture. It is also made from vanilla syrup, a liquid sugar flavored with vanilla extract to add sweetness! 🩷

A grande-sized Unicorn Frappuccino is 380 to 410 calories, depending on how it is prepared. It has about 51-59 grams of sugar. If you want to reduce the calories in this drink, you can order it with nonfat milk and ask for no whipped cream!

If the Unicorn Frappuccino wasn't only around for 3 days, I would definitely get it again! I give it a solid 8/10, just because I don't really like the taste of raspberries or the sourness!
