How to Make Healthy Frappe Coffee at Home
Frappes can be an indulgent treat when you need an energy boost or just want something tasty and refreshing, but it’s essential that you know how to make them at home without adding extra calories. Our healthy Frappe uses cold brew coffee combined with plenty of protein for maximum satiation – perfect as breakfast or midafternoon snacks to start your day right!
What Is a Frappe? A frappe is an iced coffee beverage blended with milk, sugar and other flavoring agents; often garnished with whipped cream or other toppings for additional flavors. Though available at many fast-food chains and fast food joints, frappes are most often seen at coffee shops or cafes; Starbucks trademarked the name Frappuccino after purchasing an existing coffee chain that offered this chilled drink in the 90s; this trademark ensures only their stores may legally sell products labeled Frappuccino; though this doesn’t prevent anyone else from enjoying these drinks anywhere else besides Starbucks stores!
Frappes are generally considered healthier alternatives to lattes due to their reduced sugar and milk content; both can be made at home using your preferred cold brew coffee. When making healthy frappes at home, you have more control over which ingredients go in or out based on personal taste – this can be especially useful when trying to limit carb intake or looking for dairy-free beverages.
For an effective way to reduce sugar in your frappe, consider adding natural sweeteners such as maple syrup or stevia as sweeteners. Doing this will add delicious flavor while still being lower in sugar than many fast food chain frappes.
Making your own frappe at home is straightforward with just a few easy steps. Frothing the brewed coffee – using either a frappe machine, handheld frothers, blenders, or cocktail shaker – is the first step toward creating that light and fluffy texture of a frappe, so don’t skimp on this step!
Once your coffee is frothed, combine it with the other ingredients in a blender and process until everything is evenly mixed. If adding any toppings such as chocolate syrup or other desired items at the end of blending, they should be evenly dispersed across. Top it all off with whipped cream and desired toppings before serving for optimal results!
Customize your frappe to make the ideal treat for any special event by switching out chocolate syrup for another of your preferred flavors and enjoying!
To create a chocolatey mocha frappe, mix cacao powder or cocoa powder into your recipe along with some whipped cream and chopped nuts. For a peppermint variant, try real or artificial peppermint extract topped off with crushed peppermint candy pieces. Or for something different altogether, why not give vegan coconut frappe a try using coconut milk in its place as well as topping with some toasted coconut or chopped peanuts as garnishings?
