Blend up a slimmer Frappuccino® at Starbucks.

You: I'll have a venti caramel Frappuccino®, please.
Barista: That will be 490 calories. Do you want a side of "huge hips" with that?
You: What?! I want coffee--not a milkshake.
Barista: Well, for the first time ever, you can customize your Frappuccino® at Starbucks to make it lower-calorie, vegan or even coffee-free. It's called the However-You-Want-It Frappuccino®.
You: How does it work?
Barista: You tell me exactly what you want, starting with the base. Pick soy, skim milk, decaf or go entirely coffee-free.
You: How else can I save calories?
Barista: Order a double shot. Coffee has almost no calories, and you'll be able to use less milk. Skip the whipped cream, obviously. Or just order any drink "skinny" and I'll know you want skim milk, sugar-free syrup and no whipped cream. For example, a tall skinny caramel Frappuccino® is only 90 calories. That's way less than what you just ordered. Or you can go here to see if your coffee add-ons are packing on the pounds.
You: Hey, what's in that sugar-free stuff?
Barista: It's made with stevia.
You: Can I make my drink organic?
Barista: We've got organic soymilk; our regular milk isn't organic but it is rBST-free.
You: OK, I changed my mind again. I want that vegan soy strawberries and crème Frappuccino® (pictured) instead. Tall, no whipped cream, please.
Barista: That will be 190 calories.
You: I'm feeling buzzed already.
