Healthy Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino – The Lemon Bowl®

This rich and creamy healthy copycat Starbucks mocha frappuccino has all the chocolate and coffee flavor you want without the guilt!

Coffee and chocolate are a flavor combination made from heaven, so it’s no surprise that the Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino is so popular. Cool, creamy, rich and chocolaty – what’s not to love? Well, the 370 calories and 51 grams of sugar make it hard for me to love it. As tempting as the flavor combination is, I figured I could just as easily make a similar drink at home without all the added fats. Save calories and money, here’s my Healthy Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino Copycat.

Ingredients

• Coffee: Use your favorite! I usually use a strong brew coffee which I then chill, but you can use a store-bought cold brew too.
• Half and half: Helps give the drink the creamy texture and taste.
• cocoa powder: Adds that classic rich chocolate flavor.
• maple syrup: Instead of using a bunch of added processed sugar, I use maple syrup to naturally sweeten the drink.
• vanilla extract: Sweetens and enhances the chocolate flavor of the drink.
• Sea-salt: Balances the sweet and rich flavor of the frappuccino.

How to Make Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino (Healthy Copycat)

Start your healthy Starbucks mocha frappuccino by pouring your coffee into a blender.

Then add your half and half to the coffee.

Next add the cocoa powder and a pinch of sea salt.

Followed by the vanilla extract.

Drizzle in the maple syrup.

Then finish with a few ice cubes.

Put the lid on and then blend until creamy and smooth. If you want a thicker drink, just add more ice!

Once it has reached your desired consistency, pour into a glass and garnish with some whipped cream and chocolate chips, if you like. Enjoy your Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino (healthy copycat)!

Simple Substitutions

• Make it dairy free. You can use almond milk, oat milk, or even coconut milk instead of half and half to make this drink dairy-free.
• Change the sweetener. Instead of maple syrup you could use honey or if you have liquid stevia you could use that and it would reduce the calories even more!
