Choco-Matcha Mint Frappe - Vegan recipe hero image

I’ve always been a fan of cozy, comforting beverages, and this Choco-Matcha Mint Frappe has become a go-to for me.

It’s refreshing, energizing, and somehow makes me feel like I'm sipping on a little piece of heaven.

A friend introduced me to this combo, and I knew I had to make it my own.

Plus, it’s a fantastic way to enjoy matcha while satisfying a chocolate craving!

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

I love using almond milk for its creaminess, but feel free to swap it out for oat or coconut milk. The frozen banana is a game-changer here—it gives the frappe that perfect thick and creamy texture without any dairy. If you're not a fan of peppermint extract, you can skip it or use vanilla instead for a different twist.

Tips & Notes

  • I like to freeze my banana slices in advance so I always have them ready for smoothies or frappes.
  • If you want a thicker frappe, just add more ice or use less almond milk—it’s all about your preference!

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I’ll throw in a scoop of plant-based protein powder for an extra boost, especially after a workout.
  • If I’m feeling fancy, I might drizzle some melted dark chocolate on top before serving.

Storage & Freezing

This is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can store it in the fridge for up to a day. Just give it a good shake before drinking, as it may separate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh mint instead of extract?

Absolutely! Just muddle some fresh mint leaves with the other ingredients in the blender for a more natural mint flavor.
