Starbucks developing new, low-calorie, ready-to-drink Frappuccino
NEW YORK Starbucks Corp. is reducing the calorie count in its popular, ready-to-drink bottled Frappuccinos next year. The international coffee chain is working with PepsiCo Inc., with whom it developed a partnership in 1994, discussed the new, light drinks earlier this month in New York, according to industry trade journal Beverage Digest.
Starbucks already sells one 8 oz., light, ready-to-drink Frappuccino called Mocha-Lite with 85 calories and 2.5 grams of fat. Their regular Frappuccinos contain twice the amount of calories.
“We’re looking forward to expanding our portfolio of high-quality, ready-to-drink products with exciting new offerings in the coming year,” said Starbucks in a recent statement.
