    Easy Vegan Frappuccino

    Published Apr 19, 2018 · Modified Nov 13, 2021 · by Alexis Joseph · 34 Comments

    Jump to Recipe

    This healthy Vegan Frappuccino requires only 4 ingredient and is super creamy, easy, and cheap to make!

    glass with frappuccino

    Coffee cubes!!!

    These little nuggets of caffeinated glory are changing my life as of late. I love them blended into smoothies for an extra kick or whizzed up with almond milk, maple syrup, cacao, and vanilla extract for a creamy, fluffy mocha of sorts. Moral of the story, I HEART ALL THE COFFEE.

    Always have, always will. And frappuccinos?! They always sounded too fancy and I can't lie, too expensive (except unicorn fraps, of course, LOLZ). But making a homemade one is actually so easy, cheap, and mega satisfying.

    coffee cubes

    I watched my dad drank a Starbucks coffee every single day of his life growing up. I've never seen my mom without coffee in the morning. I grew up loving the smell, the taste, the warmth, the connection, the ritual of it all.

    And now that it's very slowly but surely getting a wee bit warmer out (although it's snowing as I write this), I've started getting more innovative with my coffee creations. AKA pouring a pot of cooled brewed coffee into ice cube trays and VERY CAREFULLY putting them in the freezer to solidify. You don't want a layer of frozen coffee lining your freezer like I have now do you?

    Instant iced coffee creations, I tell ya!

    1. Brew strong coffee. Let it cool.
    2. Pour it into ice cube trays and freeze.
    3. Blend cubes with milk of choice, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Maybe some cacao. Maybe a pinch of salt. MAYBE.

    glass of frappuccino

    Devour the luscious creaminess that is this easy vegan frappuccino, preferably via a gold straw because you're EXTRA.

    Weeeeeeee you're welcome.

      I love this recipe. I used Oat milk and a squeeze of agave nectar since that's what I had on hand and OH MY it was good!! Finally, a recipe where the coffee is not overpowered by sugar and chocolate. I love how simple it is and how the coffee is the star here. Absolutely delicious!

      GENIUS. You are a genius. Frappuccinos used to be some of my favorite drinks and I'm so happy to have found a recipe that won't make me feel gross. Can't wait to try it!

      This looks really good, especially w/the warm weather approaching!
      I'm a little confused (not that unusual) by the 2 different textures of drink. The instructions seem to be for just the coffee. What is the whip cream looking part? THX!

      Alexis,

      Yes, coffee is tasty, stimulating, addictive, and a versatile food additive to be sure. And, I am proud to say no longer enslaved to it. I only say this to follow up with this; There seems no end to your fun engaging ideas and creative quips.

      Actually, honestly Alexis, your emails are rarely passed over by this loyal follower. My food alliances have pretty much gone completely whole food plant based "only". There are very few of your ideas which are unable to be turned completely plant based, yes, even coffee Dear.

      Thanks so much Alexis.,
      Stay Blessed,
      Smee :^)

      This looks amazing! I haven't had a Starbucks frappuccino in years and it was my favourite drink growing up. Making this at home is so much better (and cheaper!) 🙂
