You can make your own pretty easily. Here's a good recipe, just add sugar-free caramel syrup: http://healthyindulgences.net/2012/03/my-recipe-for-a-sugar-free-healthy-frappucino-frozen-coffee-drink-move-over-starbucks-2-2/

Just curious but where do all the Carbs come from in a starbucks caramel frappacino??? A tall has 47 whopping carbs!!!! Was hoping to sneak one in as a treat once or twice a month but THAT'S not worth it!!!

Frappucino ingredients is something along the lines of:

Coffee
Skim milk
Sugar (may not be separate from the syrup in the made one, but is in the bottled version)
Caramel flavoring/syrup

The milk, sugar, and flavoring add to your carb count. Frankly? It's not that good to be worth it. Starbucks in general isn't that good, in my opinion. Find yourself a good local coffee shop and get something from there, instead. Ask for half and half (or better yet, heavy cream) to further cut down the carb count.

Oh boy, here's the thing about frapps, they all use a "base" it's like glue, keeps things all emulsified. It has a huge amount of carbs, and without it the frapp isn't a frapp. There is no sugar free version. If you ask that a frapp be made sugar free the syrup (carmel, mocha, peppermint etc) will be sugar free. The base and the coffee flavor (which isn't shots of expresso, it comes in a jug and is sweetened), cannot be made sugar free.

Ew... all the more reason to go with a local coffee shop that sells real coffee drinks (where you can see them steam the milk, grind the coffee/espresso beans, and add the syrup).

yeah i have only one every month or so buts its a nice substitute than getting a frappi directly at starbucks and much more cheaper.
