Update: Vegan Frappuccinos Now Available!

Starbucks announced that its new However-You-Want-It Frappuccino® wouldn't be available until May 5th. However, my local Barnes and Noble Cafe (which sells Starbucks beverages) rolled out its new Frappuccinos today. As I write this post, I'm sipping on a delicious soy caramel Frappuccino!

Sadly, it seems that a large number of customers are writing terrible things about the new Frappuccino on the Starbucks website and begging Starbucks to go back to the old recipe. If you appreciate the fact that Starbucks is reaching out to its vegan customers, I urge you to leave comments on the website in support of the new recipe!

Starbucks Introduces Vegan Frappuccinos!


Frapp

That's right. Starting on May 5th, vegans can enjoy one of the Starbucks products that has long eluded us: The Frappuccino. Unlike most Starbucks drinks, which can be made with a variety of milk options (including soy milk!), Frappuccinos have always been made with a base that contains 2% milk. I, for one, can't wait to order my first mocha Frappuccino after more than 7 years of going Frappuccino-free!
