Starbucks chocolate chip brownie Frappuccino: sizes, nutrition, caffeine & Calories

What sizes are available?

The chocolate chip brownie Frappuccino is available at Starbucks in three sizes; a tall, 12 ounces; a Grande, and a Venti, 24 ounces. Therefore, you can enjoy this drink in whichever size you want, depending on your mood and, of course, the size of your wallet (the Venti is a bit pricier). However, since Frappuccino drinks are usually unhealthy with so many calories and carbs content in them, I wouldn’t advise you to go for the Venti serving size as that is too many calories for one meal. Though this is my go-to drink, I always have it in a tall and customize it as much as possible to make it healthy.
