Marissa Arnone, through her TikTok account, @dietitianmarissa, provides various healthy eating tips and recently uploaded content in which she claims that, With a few small changes, it’s possible to enjoy a tall Matcha Crème Frappuccino guilt-free.
In his post he said that he ordered his drink through the Starbucks app, although, of course, it is possible to make changes directly in store, you just have to know what to choose and pay attention to the details. “If you go to the Starbucks app, you can see all the nutritional information and the ingredients, everything that is included in each order,” he explained.
As detailed, the standard order for a Matcha Crème Frappuccino is whole milk, whipped cream, two tablespoons of matcha powder and two pumps of classic syrup. Which, according to the same store, gives a total of 300 calories, 43 grams of sugar, 12 grams of fat and approximately 50 milligrams of caffeine.
So, What is the trick you use to eliminate sugar and calories? This is what Arnone said:
- Completely eliminate whole milk and opt for substitutes such as almond milk, this to prevent digestive problems.
- It also completely eliminates the classic syrup.
- Ask for just one scoop of matcha instead of two. “Some of their drinks have two or three tablespoons of matcha. For me personally, it’s too much caffeine and too much sugar, because their mix contains sugar,” she said.
- The positive part is that it keeps the whipped cream: “I’m not going to miss the whipped cream.”
He assured that With these changes you can enjoy your drink with the same flavor as a traditional preparation, but with the advantage not only that he is consuming much less sugar but, he pointed out, he does not experience a drop in energy afterwards that usually occurs after drinking something very sweet.
If you try your combination and feel that it is not the same, You can opt for other less caloric options, for example, an Iced Matcha Tea Latte that has 140 calories, 20 grams of sugar and 4 grams of fat.
