# Blended Avocado Frappuccino Starbucks South Korea Launches a Tasty and Refreshing Avocado Drink By Kalin Ned | Published 2018-06-29 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avocado-drink References: [designtaxi](http://designtaxi.com/news/400341/Starbuck-s-Adorable-New-Avocado-Drink-Is-A-Desert-s-Mirage-For-Hipsters/) & [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/starbuckskorea/) From avocado toast to avocado drinks, the fruit has seen a radical increase in popularity and has been actively integrated into the diet of many. Starbucks South Korea contributes to this craze by launching its 'Avocado Blended' Frappucino for a limited time in locations across the country. The treat was first introduced three years ago as a seasonal offering but due to popular demand, it makes a return with a revamped recipe. The texture of the avocado drink is smooth and creamy. To better mimic the appearance of the fruit, Starbucks South Korea includes a [chocolate pit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolatecovered-strawberry-crme) to top its frappucino creation. As a result, not only will the avocado drink satisfy some cravings, it will also make for a wonderful photo opportunity.
