Has anyone tried it yet? Is it worth the calories?

To me, no frappucino is worth such a high proportion of the 1500 calories I get a day. But if I ran a 10k for the first time that day or something, I could see having one to celebrate. Maybe. I'd probably splurge on something else. Birthday cake flavors all taste like sugar bombs to me anyway. I'd rather have some red wine and dark chocolate in the evening when I'm relaxing than slurp down a frappucino on the go. If you have one, savor it!0

Someone told me it tasted like lipstick ground with fruit loops. I'm scared to waste calories with that description.0

I thought they started tomorrow? Haven't tried one, probably won't - fraps are generally too sweet for me, and the cals just aren't worth it. I'd rather have a Kicker from Dutch Bros (if you have them in your area, get over there and have a Kicker, hot iced or blended - the bomb), or a nice chai latte.0

I have no interest. Would rather have a black coffee, or a little milk and sugar, and save room for gelato later.0

The only frapp I like is vanilla bean without whip cream.0

Doesn't sound super appetizing. But I can't hate on frapps in general. I love the green tea one the most. But I rarely get frappuccino because I don't generally care to drink many of my calories.0

It's vanilla bean with hazelnut. Sounds good0

I want to know too!! I LOVE birthday cake and birthday cake flavored things
Been trying to figure out if it is really worth it or not! 0 -
I just had one and I have to say it was delicious! It tastes so much like birthday cake and that raspberry whipped cream is to die for!
Now, many people probably won't agree with it and will say it isn't worth it, but this is how I look at it. I rarely get frappuccinos or any other fancy coffee drinks (1-2 times per year). Other times, it's just regular coffee. I feel like this is justified because I don't want to lose all the weight being so strict that I am miserable and gain it back. I would rather make small changes that I'm able to keep forever. And to me, one frappuccino a year-ish is a realistic lifestyle. I know I just wouldn't be happy never having one.
Additionally, this frappuccino is only being offered for 5 days, so it is quite limited. I LOVE birthday cake flavored things and knew that if I didn't try one, that I would think about it well after the fact when they are no longer available and then probably over-do it on something else birthday cake related just because I had it stuck in my head.

I work for Starbucks, and if you all want to make it a lighter version, go with non-fat or coconut milk and ask for light whipped cream. If you do sugar-free, you can request sugar-free hazelnut in the beverage as well. That will knock off around 100 calories and a lot of sugar.
I haven't even tried it yet, but I don't typically drink Frappuccinos.0 -
I haven't tried it, but the two people I know who did said it was awesome.0
-
I'm gonna see if I can order it tomorrow. I don't look forward to having to wait in line though.0

Very true! Looks like I'll have to make my way over to a Starbucks this weekend!I work for Starbucks, and if you all want to make it a lighter version, go with non-fat or coconut milk and ask for light whipped cream. If you do sugar-free, you can request sugar-free hazelnut in the beverage as well. That will knock off around 100 calories and a lot of sugar.
I haven't even tried it yet, but I don't typically drink Frappuccinos.
Thanks for the tip!0 -

Oooo, that sounds so good!! I almost stopped on my way back to work after lunch today, but ran out of time. Too busy chatting with my friend over soup and salad, lol. I plan on getting one tomorrow though!!0

I saw it yesterday but I'm not a fan of the birthday cake flavored things. I went with a tall tiramisu latte and a smoked gouda and bacon with egg breakfast sandwich. It was delish.0

A tall coffee light frap no whip is 96kcal if u want one that is prob best. Birthday cake frap yuck not worth it.0

I plan to try one today. First latte-type drink of 2015, lol.0

It's not worth the calories, trust me. It's just a vanilla bean frappuccino with hazelnut and raspberry/vanilla whip cream. Calories galore. Take it from a barista.0

Someone works for Starbucks! hehe jk0 -
I've had it two days in a row.
It tastes like a white cake with vanilla frosting and rainbow sprinkles. The raspberry whip cream adds a nice touch. I like it.0 -
Tried it last night and I was SO disappointed. It does not taste like birthday cake at all and it tasted kind of bitter too. It was pretty awful ): I asked them to make me a different frap to replace it.0
-
I had one today. It wasn't as birthday cakey as I would have liked it to be. The raspberry whip cream kept it from being a complete disappointment.0

How many calories are in it?0
-
It was not as good as I'd hoped. It had a hint of birthday cake flavor but not what I expected. I'd say some of their other frapps (double chocolate chip gahhh) are way more worth the cals!0

I would not recommend you skip the cream.
