Update–Starbucks Soy Strawberries And Crème Frappuccino

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, May 7th, 2010 in Business, Food & Drink, Restaurants.

An update on that vegan Frappuccino you’re thinking of purchasing at the Starbucks down the street.

Or across the street.

Or inside the Target you buy toilet paper from.

You know, they’re not hard to find.

Anyway, Starbucks is now offering various Frappuccinos and some are vegan.

The Soy Strawberries and Crème sounds milky, but a careful request to leave some things off will give you a completely vegan drink.

This Dish Is Vegetarian contacted the company and found this out:

“We contacted Starbucks yesterday and found out the crème base is a sugar syrup – – non dairy. (Calling it crème was a bit confusing to us so we had to ask!) Starbucks also verified that the whipped cream is dairy based. Additionally the caramel drizzle (on the Extra Coffee Caramel Frappuccino) is made with butter. So leave off the whipped cream and the caramel and the Frapps are vegan.”

Ah, much less confusion!
