Everyone enjoys a coffee frappe on a hot summer day, making them the ideal treat to satisfy that sweet tooth without packing in extra calories and sugar. Unfortunately, finding an affordable yet healthy version can be hard to come by; here’s an easy and delicious low calorie caramel frappe recipe you can make at home to save both calories and money!

Frappes are delicious cold-brewed beverages made with espresso, milk and ice blended into a creamy drink and typically topped with whipped cream, chocolate syrup or other delicious toppings. Starbucks popularized the term “Frappuccino,” though other places serve them too. A traditional Starbucks Frappuccino typically features iced coffee mixed with milk and heavy whipping cream but other variations exist such as coffee blended with non-dairy milk or made using lower fat milk with either Stevia or Monk Fruit sweeteners added for flavor variations allowing endless variations in flavors for creativity!

To create a healthy coffee frappe at home, it requires some planning ahead. Freeze your coffee into cubes using this method; this works best with thicker coffee such as cold brew or espresso. After brewing it up, pour it into an ice cube tray to freeze over time.

When you’re ready to use them, simply place the ice cubes and your other ingredients into a blender and blend until everything is evenly mixed and frothy. However, take care not to overblend, as overdoing it will melt the ice and water down your beverage. If using sweeteners such as Stevia drops or honey in syrup form then taste your drink to determine its sweetness level – adding more sweetener may be necessary based on personal taste preferences.

If you’re making a mocha Frappuccino, add two tablespoons of cacao powder (or cocoa) to the recipe for an invigorating chocolate taste and an antioxidant boost. Plus, other delicious toppings like whipped cream and mini chocolate chips can add extra flair.

This healthy Starbucks Frappuccino recipe can be easily prepared in minutes with just a few modifications and changes to suit any palate! Plus, you have full control of how much sugar and milk goes in it; which can save both calories and money in addition to being made any number of times as desired! Plus you can make as many of them as you please!

Add in extra chocolate or nut butter for a nutritious chocolate frappe, peppermint candy for a Peppermint Frappuccino, coconut whipped cream with cacao nibs for tropical flair, dairy-free whipped cream or liquid sweeteners that are safe for plant-based diets to make this drink vegan-friendly!
