Some days you just need a really cold drink to help you cool off. And since we’re all grown ups here, we certainly want something more adult than a milkshake (those are for kids, right?). A Vanilla Bean Frappuccino is a much more sophisticated choice.
Or is it?
When you discover how easily you can make your own Vanilla Bean Frappuccino like Starbucks at home, you may never purchase another one again. Think of how smart you’ll feel because of all that money you’re saving!
