If you're nostalgic for s'mores by the campfire, you are going to be obsessed with the creamy Starbucks S'mores Frappuccino! Inspired by the classic graham cracker, marshmallow, and chocolate treat, this seasonal fan favorite is made with marshmallow-infused whipped cream, milk chocolate sauce, and a creamy blend of vanilla, coffee, milk, and ice. It's topped with more marshmallowy whipped cream and a graham cracker crumble.
Before you run to your nearest Starbucks to start sipping away, you may want to sit down for this, because the calorie and sugar content is shocking! If you're wondering how this compares to a good ol' s'mores, we've included the nutritional info for that as well.

Here's the nutritional info for a 16-ounce Starbucks S'mores Frappuccino made with whole milk. It has a whopping 490 calories and 67 grams of sugar. Most of the Starbucks Frapps have 50 grams of sugar or fewer, so this is significantly higher. It also has 73 grams of carbs and 12 grams of saturated fat. One bonus is that this creamy drink offers five grams of protein.

Let's see how a Starbucks S'mores Frappuccino compares to a real-deal s'mores. A classic s'mores made with one graham cracker, a marshmallow, and three rectangles of Hershey's Milk Chocolate is 155 calories. That's a 335-calorie difference compared to the Starbucks S'mores Frapp! You're also looking at 15.2 grams of sugar for a s'mores, while sipping down a 16-ounce Starbucks S'mores Frappuccino gives you almost four and a half times the sugar.
With just 22.6 grams of carbs and 3.5 grams of saturated fat, a s'mores also offers a decent amount of protein with 2.5 grams. A s'mores also has almost one gram of fiber, while the Starbucks S'mores Frapp has zero.
If you're looking for that traditional s'mores flavor combination, you might as well go for the actual graham cracker, marshmallow, and chocolate campfire treat. But if you're really itching to drink the creamy flavors, here's how to order a healthier Starbucks S'mores Frappuccino:
Have a 12-ounce tall instead of a 16-ounce grande. You'll save 170 calories, three grams of saturated fat, 27 grams of carbs, and 24 grams of sugar. Order your grande with almond milk instead of whole milk to save 30 calories, one gram of saturated fat, and three grams each of carbs and sugar. It's not a huge difference, but it helps! Since there's already marshmallow whipped cream in the bottom of the S'mores Frappuccino, you can skip it on the top.Image Source: Starbucks
