Easy Homemade Frappe
I need caffeine every morning before I start my day, so this Homemade Caramel Frappuccino is perfect for me.
I’m one of those people that needs a mug that reads “But First, Coffee”. You should know not to speak to me before I’ve had at least 1.5 cups of caffeine.

good idea, good job
Loved this recipe I just added too much ice but I also added an alcoholic chocolate beverage to it. Otherwise it was great
Sounds delicious, Lisa!
Super Tasty! 10/10
Thanks for stopping by and letting us know, Anthony!
I used decaf and this was amazing. Best smoothie I’ve ever made.
So happy to hear that, Gloria!
Where’s the espresso
Using 12oz of strong black coffee!
Can I use instant coffee?
It may alter the taste!
Major question here – being as how I can’t have caffeine (yes it was VERY HARD to get used to, but I guess over time you learn to adjust :( ), do you think I could make this recipe with Folgers decaf? We don’t have a Starbucks anywhere close, and of course McDonalds doesnt make a decaf frappe :/ so I REALLY want to try this if you think it would work…
Yes of course!
Hey, can’t wait to try this, can I used a powder creamer as in the uk it’s hard to find liquid ones
Yes, of course!
I need creamer one morning and my father in law only had powder creamer so I mix creamer and milk together and bam it was good You can try that 💜
How many carbs? Watching my carbs😊
Two grams per serving!
Can’t wait to try this! We are frappe addicts. Ty for the article.
Of course! I’m glad I could help!!
