Do Starbucks Frappuccinos Have Caffeine?

In today's fast-paced world, the thirst for both refreshing beverages and a caffeine kick is real. Enter Starbucks Frappuccinos - the frothy, icy treats that seem like the perfect solution. But do they pack that caffeine punch we so often crave? You might be surprised by the answer. For a bit of context, take a look at our previous dive into the caffeine content of another popular drink. Let's uncover the mystery behind the Frappuccino's caffeine content together!

Yes, many Starbucks Frappuccinos do contain caffeine, but the amount varies based on the type and size of the drink. Here's a general breakdown:

1. Coffee Frappuccinos: These are made with coffee and therefore contain caffeine. This category includes the regular Coffee Frappuccino, Caramel Frappuccino, Mocha Frappuccino, and many others that are coffee-based.

Example: Chocolate Java Mint Frappuccino

  • Tall - 75mg
  • Grande - 105mg
  • Venti - 135mg

2. Creme Frappuccinos: These are typically non-coffee-based and don't have caffeine. Examples include the Vanilla Bean Creme and the Strawberries & Creme Frappuccino. However, there are exceptions, like the Matcha Green Tea Creme Frappuccino, which gets its caffeine from the matcha.

Example: Chocolate Cookie Crumble Créme Frappuccino

  • Tall - 10mg
  • Grande - 15mg
  • Venti - 20mg
