6 Healthy Frappuccino Recipes to Keep You Cool This Summer

These 6 healthy frappuccino recipes are nutritious and delicious – perfect for a summer treat!

I admittedly love a good Starbucks Frappuccino.  There’s nothing like that caramel one with the sugary drizzle that they put on top of it.  That said, it’s not always practical – from a budget or health standpoint – to have those regularly.  {Though don’t get me mistaken, I do indulge in them occasionally.}

Instead, I love whipping up my own versions of blended coffee drinks.  They can be a fun & tasty treat on a hot summer day, and with these better-for-you versions you don’t have to worry about derailing your diet.  Here are a couple of my own recipes along with a bunch from fellow dietitians that had some delicious frozen coffee drinks and frappuccino recipes to share.

6 Healthy Frappuccino Recipes

1.  Iced Peppermint Mocha Smoothie from Homemade Nutrition

I’m not personally a minty kinda person, but I know I’ve got some peppermint lovers in the crowd.  This is a lovely blend of mint, coffee & cocoa to cool you down.

2.  Skinny Pumpkin Frappuccino from Snacking in Sneakers

This Skinny Pumpkin Frappuccino recipe is a perfect blend of fall flavors, but you can certainly enjoy it any time of the year!  {And let’s be real, it’s only about another month and a half before everything pumpkin starts rolling out in stores and shops.}  Plus it’s only 114 calories per serving.

3.  Chocolate Toasted Almond Mock-a-ccino from Jessi Haggerty

I love that Jessi uses dates to sweeten this baby.  And that chocolate sauce topping?  Um, YES please.

4.  Mocha Banana Smoothie from Snacking in Sneakers

This is a kind of like a version of my favorite banana peanut butter recovery smoothie, but instead of peanut butter I add in some coffee instead – yum!

5.  Protein Packed Skinny Frozen Mocha from Nutrition Starring You

21 grams of protein in a coffee drink?  That’s right!  A little whey protein powder goes a long way in this frozen mocha.

6.  Salted Caramel Swappuccino from Abbey’s Kitchen 

If you haven’t seen one of Abbey’s videos yet, you’re in for a treat – check out this awesome look at some healthy Frappuccino recipes.  My favorite one in the video is the salted caramel swappuccino – which is vegan and perfect for all you dairy free folks!
