I used to LOVE Starbucks frappuccinos until I became more health conscious. What I didn't love, though, was 1) the calories/sugar and 2) spending $5 every time I wanted one of these scrumptious, blended coffee beverages (which, especially in the summer, was getting to be a little too often!). Here is a healthy, homemade version of a Starbucks frappuccino that is low in calories, fat, and sugar, but still super creamy and delicious!!Cost per serving: $0.64
