Are frappuccinos good for PCOS?

A caramel frappé is closer to a milkshake than a coffee, and a large one can have more than 50 grams of sugar. Iced coffee with milk and one pump of syrup gives you the treat with a fraction of the sugar.

What's working

  • A fun, enjoyable treat to savor
  • Whipped cream adds a bit of fat to slightly slow absorption

Watch out for

  • High in rapidly absorbed added sugars
  • Very low in protein and fiber

Easy swaps

  • Full pumps of caramel syrup→Half-sweet or sugar-free syrup

    Lowers the total sugar load significantly.

  • Sipping solo on an empty stomach→Pairing with a handful of nuts or hard-boiled eggs

    Protein and fiber help blunt the sharp glucose rise.
