Frappuccino - Vegan recipe hero image

I’ve always had a soft spot for cold coffee drinks, especially on warm sunny days.

This vegan frappuccino is a delicious way to enjoy a caffeine boost while nourishing my body with whole foods.

My favorite part?

I can customize it with whatever I have on hand!

The first time I made it, I was just playing around with ingredients, and I couldn't believe how amazing it turned out.

Let's whip this up together!

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 frozen bananas because they add a natural creaminess and sweetness without needing any dairy. If you don’t have bananas, you could use avocado for a different twist! The Medjool dates are my go-to for sweetness; they blend so nicely and add a caramel-like flavor. If you’re short on time, you can skip the freezing step and use fresh bananas, just add more ice.

Tips & Notes

  • Make sure your coffee is cool before blending to avoid a hot mess!
  • I like to keep some frozen bananas on hand for smoothies and frappuccinos - they’re a lifesaver!

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I’ll add a scoop of my favorite plant-based protein powder for an extra boost.
  • If I’m feeling festive, a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can add a lovely warmth.

Storage & Freezing

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this without coffee?

Absolutely! You can replace the coffee with a strong herbal tea or even just use more almond milk for a caffeine-free version.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Start by brewing your coffee and letting it cool to room temperature. I usually make it in the morning and let it sit while I prepare my other ingredients.

  2. 2

    In a blender, combine the cooled coffee, almond milk, frozen banana, Medjool dates, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder if you’re using it.

  3. 3

    Add the ice cubes to the blender. I like to use a full cup for that perfect frappuccino texture.

  4. 4

    Blend everything on high until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. You want it to be thick but pourable.

  5. 5

    Taste your frappuccino and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more dates or a splash of maple syrup.

  6. 6

    Pour into tall glasses and enjoy immediately! You can garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a drizzle of plant-based chocolate syrup if you’re feeling fancy.
