Here's What's Actually In The Starbucks Unicorn Frappuccino

As you sip, it changes not just color, but flavor, making it as magical as the make-believe creature it's

named for.

According to Starbucks, it starts off "sweet and fruity transforming to pleasantly sour." You can swirl

it "to reveal a color-changing spectacle of purple and pink."

And that pink and blue dust on the whipped cream? Starbucks says those are "fairy powders."

But what exactly is this magical drink made of?

For starters, a standard Unicorn Frappuccino is made with whole milk and whipped cream. A grande

has 410 calories (though of course this info changes if you get a lower-fat or non-dairy milk, or skip

the whipped cream).

Aside from the milk and ice, the Unicorn Fappuccino is made with a bunch of flavored syrups and

sauces (Starbucks' Crème Frappuccino Syrup, vanilla syrup, mango syrup, classic syrup, and white

chocolate mocha sauce), and the fairy powders are actually a mixture of sugar and food colorings

made from fruit and vegetables.

Sugar plays an important role in the Unicorn Frappuccino as it's a core ingredient of the syrups and

sauces that give the drink its color and flavors.
