The Starbucks Unicorn drink looks attractive. It has a whipped cream topping sprinkled with pink and blue fairy powders. The new drink is available for a limited time from April 19 to 23 at Starbucks. You will probably want to go and try one for yourself, but weight watchers should be careful.
This drink contains 37 grams of sugar. The Starbucks Unicorn Frappuccino ingredients do not include coffee, which suggests that this drink may be caffeine-free. Starbucks Unicorn Frappuccino contains 190 calories.
