This week, coffee chain Starbucks unveiled the Strawberry Funnel Cake Frappuccino as the headlining beverage of its summer menu. The new drink is “inspired by a nostalgic flavor reminiscent of carefree summer moments” and features layers of strawberry purée and whipped cream swirled with funnel cake flavored Frappuccino, which is topped with crunchy powdered sugar funnel cake pieces.
The new drink can be ordered entirely vegan with just a few swaps. First, customers can replace the dairy milk in the Frappuccino with any plant-based alternative available at Starbucks, including almond, coconut, soy, and newly added Oatly oat milk. As Starbucks does not offer vegan whipped cream in the United States the way it does in the United Kingdom, the whipped cream in the Strawberry Funnel Cake Frappuccino must be removed. The other beverage components, including flavored syrups and sugar funnel cake pieces, do not contain animal products.
