Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using almond milk, but oat or cashew milk works beautifully too. If you want to amp up the flavor, try adding a dash of nutmeg or even a tablespoon of cacao powder for a mocha twist!
Tips & Notes
- •I like to freeze extra coffee in ice cube trays so I can make this frappe without watering it down later.
- •If you’re in a hurry, you can also use instant coffee mixed with hot water, just cool it down before blending!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll throw in a scoop of peanut butter for a protein boost; it’s like a dessert in a glass!
- •If I want something a bit indulgent, I’ll blend in a tablespoon of cacao nibs for a wonderful texture and chocolate flavor.
Storage & Freezing
This frappe is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can store it in the fridge for a day. Just give it a good stir before enjoying it again, as it may separate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this without coffee?

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by brewing your coffee. I love using my French press, but any method will do! Let it cool down completely; you can even make it the night before.
- 2
Once your coffee is chilled, grab your blender. Add the brewed coffee, almond milk, banana, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ice cubes.
- 3
Blend on high until smooth and frothy. You want it to have that classic frappe texture, so if it’s too thin, toss in a few more ice cubes.
- 4
Taste your frappe and adjust the sweetness if needed. Sometimes I add a little more maple syrup if I’m in the mood for something sweeter.
- 5
Pour into two tall glasses, and if you’re feeling fancy, top with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or cinnamon.
