What’s in a Starbucks Barbie Frappuccino – (ingredients)

Great, up to this point, you have learned the History of Starbucks Barbie Frappuccino, but now we get into what exactly makes the drink tasty. So, what ingredients are found in Starbucks Barbie Frappuccino? Surprisingly, there are only four main ingredients in this drink; the rest of the ingredients are for customization and toppings. According to their secret menu website, ingredients used to make Barbie Frappuccino include; Milk, Ice, Toffee nut Syrup, Raspberry Syrup, crème base, and pink whip crème.

• Toffee nut syrup: This ingredient gives the drink its unique Barbie-like taste and increases its nutritional value. The toffee nut syrup used in Starbucks is particularly nutritive because it has water, natural flavor, sugar, salt, and healthy preservatives, including citric acid and potassium Sorbate. In a Grande cup, you will only have two pumps of this syrup in your Barbie Frappuccino. Just two pumps give the drink its unique flavor.
• Raspberry Syrup: Talk of anything Barbie, you know it comes in pink shades, and Raspberry Syrup serves the exact purpose in Starbucks Barbie Frappuccino. Raspberry syrup is essential in giving the drink its pink color. Starbucks uses Raspberry syrup from Fontana. However, recently, Starbucks has been more focused on using raspberry syrups that do not have any artificial dye in their drinks. Basic ingredients in raspberry used in Barbie Frappuccino include cane sugar, water, raspberries, citric acid, natural flavors, and sodium benzoate. Also, this raspberry syrup is responsible for the thickness level of the Starbucks Barbie Frappuccino.
• Milk; You cannot miss milk in Starbucks Barbie Frappuccino because it is the liquid that allows the rest of the ingredients to combine and blend well. You can use dairy milk or vegan, depending on your style. Milk gives the drink its lasting taste and also enhances its nutritional value.
• Crème base: Crème base is also essential in this drink to increase the smoothness of the blend and ensure the ingredients are mixed equally. Starbucks uses crème base whose key ingredients include; xantham gum, sugar, salt, water, natural flavor, and citric acid. Crème base makes Barbie Frappuccino a decaf drink because it replaces coffee. Also, there is a vegan type of crème base that Starbucks uses in this drink.
• Ice: Ice is essential to keep the Barbie Frappuccino at the desired cold temperature.
• Pink Whip Crème: This ingredient helps in creating punk color variations in the drink
