Skinny Vanilla Mocha Frappe

June 18, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 191 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Since it’s Monday again, I thought I would share with you my newest coffee creation.  I figured we would need the caffeine kick to get us through the day!  Wouldn’t you agree?

This my lovely Friends is so easy, so low-calorie, not to mention a chocolaty, creamy treat that is so guilt-free, that you can have two or three.  I love this drink!  Normally when I go to my favorite coffee shop Starbucks, I always get the skinny vanilla latte or I get it on ice.  I would love to order this frappuccino style but the sugar is way to high for me!!  You’ll see what I’m talking about in a minutes.


I made this drink using instant coffee, but you can always brew up your favorite coffee, the key is to make it strong cup.  Than I froze my coffee for 4 hours or you can do it overnight. Let it thaw a little bit, so your blender can crush the ice.  Than I added a little bit of stevia, vanilla extract and unsweetened cocoa powder.  Blend a way to this tasty drink.

I have to say, nothing like sitting outside on a hot day and sipping on a cool drink.  I simply love this drink!!  As we speak I have coffee in the freezer just waiting for me.  I can’t wait!

Now you know I love to do my comparisons.

Starbucks Caffe Vanilla Frappuccino Light Blended Coffee – Grande:  Calories:  180,  Fat:  0,  Sodium:  200,  Carbs:  40,  Sugar:  39,  Protein:  3

My Skinny Mocha Frappe – over 2 cups:  Calories:  43.3,  Fat:  0,  Sodium:  65,  Carbs:  7, Sugar:  6,  Protein:  4.2

You have to love mine!  I guarantee you’ll love the taste!! 😉

    Wow, what a comparison! I LOVE frozen coffee drinks, but they are always way to sweet for my tastes (even when I have them reduce the amount of syrup). Will definitely be trying your version this summer! 🙂

      I know about sweetness, if you do get one at the coffee shop, ask for half the amount of pumps. Than it will be less sweet for you! I do 3 pumps now instead of there standard 7 in a Grande.

      Reply
      • AJ says

        October 21, 2012 at 8:53 PM

        Starbucks actually puts 4 pumps in a grande beverage, iced or hot. There are 1 or 2 pumps in a grande frappucino (I can’t remember which because I haven’t worked there in 3 years).

        @ Heather, it’s probably still too sweet for you because the base is sweet too. If you halved the syrup and added a shot of espresso it wouldn’t be as sweet but the consistency isn’t the same. Personally, I think it’s a better consistency.

    This looks sooo refreshing. The Starbucks Frappes are way too sugary — I don’t even put sugar in my coffee, just milk or cream — so this is perfect. Love the jar you used too! But did you do the calorie count before or after you added the whipped cream? 😉

    Reply
    • Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says

      June 18, 2012 at 7:12 PM

      When I get my drinks from Starbucks I never put sugar in it either. The calorie count doesn’t include whip cream. I buy the Redi-Whip which is 5 calories per tablespoon.

      June 18, 2012 at 7:23 PM

      Hmmm, may you could make a low calorie hot chocolate like Swiss Miss (25 calories a pack) and freeze that, just omit the cocoa powder when you go to make it. Or make it with coffee, but just go very light on it instead of making it strong. You won’t notice the coffee taste so much with the mocha!

        The Swiss Miss is a great idea, thanks. I’m the weird person in the crowd who dislikes coffee taste so much I don’t even like mocha ice cream – love the smell though!

          if you ever want to give coffee another try I’d recommend cold brewing it! it has ZERO of the bitterness you can get from drip brewing, even if you use the cheapest, no flavor added coffee. It’s also nice because you can do a lot at once and store it in a pitcher in the fridge.

            I agree, cold brewed coffee is wonderful and I always have some in the fridge-I was planning to use it for this recipe! I make mine really strong (one cup coffee for every 3 cups water) so it’s perfect.

          • Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says

            July 6, 2012 at 8:07 PM

    thank you so much for sharing this! can’t wait to try it with my sister this weekend! do you know anything i could add to give it more of a frozen texture? ice might water it down to much. could i substitute the water for ice? thanks!!! (:

    • Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says

      June 18, 2012 at 7:40 PM

      If you freeze it, at least partly frozen (4 hours), it doesn’t taste watered at all and the consistency is the same as a Frappuccino (your frozen texture). Starbucks uses water, coffee and milk to make there’s, plus there syrups. If you want to skip water in it, you chould replace it with milk, but you will just need more of it and the calories will go up. Make it both ways and you and your sister can have a taste test to see which way you like it! You should check out my Coconut Mocha Frappe, that doesn’t contain water. http://www.peanutbutterandpeppers.com/2012/05/10/coconut-mocha-frappe/

    that looks SO GOOD! I take leftover coffee and sometimes make coffee ice cubes with it and then take the cubes and put them into my alredy refrigerated pitcher (yes, that I keep on hand, cold, at all times) of coffee. I need to freeze the whole thing and then do what you did with the milk, vanilla, stevia and cocoa powder…super good looking!

      Ice cube tray is a great idea for coffee. I need to invest in buying some ice cube trays. I love the idea of having a pitcher of cold coffee in the fridge, especially in the summer months. I have to do that!

    I don’t think I saw this in the comments, unless I over looked it; Have you considered pouring the coffee in an ice tray to make cubes? I just thought that would be easier and less chance of it being too frozen for the blender.

      I use water when I make coffee. For my coffee frozen drinks, I use 1 heaping teaspoon of instant coffee, and 1 1/2 cups of water. However, you can brew your favorite cup of coffee to and that will work great too!

    Hey! I didn’t read through all the comments but my friend who worked at a starbucks said they way they help to keep the frozen drinks from separating is xanthan gum! I find it in the gluten free section on the baking aisle at Walmart. they have big bags of it that are like $9 or you can buy small packages (similar to yeast) for about 40cents. I just thought you might like to give it a try (: it doesn’t need more than a sprinkle or so while you mix it up.

    I was just curious (not trying to doubt you) But I entered this recipe on My Fitness Pal and it came up to be 87 calories? Which is still AMAZING so I am not complaining. I was just wandering if there is something different I need to use to make it only 43 calories? (My skim milk alone was 43 calories?)

      Hi,

      My skim milk is 80 calories for 1 cup,and the cocoa powder is 10 calories per tablespoon for Hersheys Brand. There are no calories in vanilla extract or stevia.

      40 calories of Bayview Farms Fat Free Milk, (0.50 cup), 3 calories of Baking – Hershey’s Cocoa, unsweetened, (0.33 tbsp)

      I hope this helps.

        Hi! I love your blog! However, after some research, I found that one tsp of both pure and imitation vanilla extract contains 12 calories thus increasing the calorie count 79. Either way, it’s still less than 100 cals overall 🙂

            Not sure if you have ever tried the syrups they make for coffee,teas,cokes,etc, but they are zero calories, zero fat, pretty much zero everything and it could replace the extract reducing the calories. It’s also pretty sweet so you may not need the stevia either.

    I get free diabetic medication through my employer’s insurance as long as I go to counseling regularly with a Kroger pharmacist. I was just complaining to him today how much I love Starbuck’s frappucino’s & how hard it is to give them up. I now occasionally order skinny “fraps” with sugar-free caramel flavor instead of mocha. However, the coffee base Starbucks uses has sugar, so this is ideal for me since I have to count CARBS! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Not only is it MUCH cheaper saving lots of money, it’s equally as good and only a fraction of the calories! I have made one every day for the last 2 weeks! (And I’ve lost 2 pounds this past week!) Highly recommend. The only thing I changed was I added an extra spenda because I needed a little more sugar! other then that, PERFECT!!

    Hi I would like to know if when using espresso then I should leave out the water, right. I made a version today but didn’t have the unsweetened cocoa and trying to watch the sugar just added a tsp of the sweetened, a cup of skim milk. My version tasted super skinny really no flavor but hey i never waste espresso and I never use coffee. My question is how much espresso would u use instead??

    Thanks

      Hi Jennifer, Follow the directions on your package of espresso. I never made coffee with espresso, just instant or regular coffee. I always make 1 1/2 cups of coffee for my drinks, then add 1/2 cup milk. Did you add the vanilla extract? The cocoa powder is necessary for the chocolatly taste, but id optional. If you don’t have Stevia, I would recommend add a little more sugar. If you don’t want the calories, try Splenda or Truvia. I just bought espresso powder last week and I haven’t used it yet. I will check out the package and see what it says and test it out. Just give me a few hours and I will get back to you.

      You could, but I don’t. I take 1 1/2 cups luke warm water and add 1 heaping teaspoon of instant coffee into it and stir until dissolved. Pour into a shallow freezer safe container and freeze. To defrost, I cheat and sometimes I’ll microwave the frozen coffee for 40 seconds to soften it up. Other readers have told me they freeze there coffee in ice cube trays.

Then, when I want one of these yummy treats, I’ll just pop out the cubes I need. Plus, my blender can puree/blend a standard-sized ice cube just fine -so no waiting to thaw!

    I was just curious how you got 43.3 calories? 1/2 a cup of skim milk is 45 calories alone? I got 110 calories with regular sugar which is obviously still way healthier then Starbucks. I would have loved for it to only be 43.3 calories but 110 is still great! Can’t wait to try it!

    Coffee- 0-5
    1/2 cup skim milk- 45
    3 tsp Vanilla extract- 36
    1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder – 13 calories (4 grams)
    1 tbsp. sugar – 16 calories

    I’m confused on how much coffee to use, is it 1 1/2 cup or teaspoon?

      I used 1 heaping teaspoon of instant coffee with 1 1/2 cups of water. You can just use 1 1/2 cups of cold coffee and freeze that. I was told by readers that you can put the coffee in ice cube trays and that will work even better.

    A recipe that can be had fun with! You gave me the idea to try it myself, less sweet, and more healthy. Thank you so much for sharing how we can be frugal, healthy, and not dependent on the businesses that convince us we can’t do without them. Not ready to give up caffeine yet, but at least can control the amount in the homemade. I couldn’t help but start throwing things into your base recipe though and here’s what came out tasting pretty good. Forgive me. 🙂
    6- frozen (strong) coffee cubes (I think hazelnut)
    1/2- Cup strong refrigerated coffee,
    1-Cup plain almond milk
    1-2 Tablespoons protein powder (unsweetened)
    1-Tablespoon plain powdered gelatin (cold water soluble kind)
    1-Tablespoon cocoa powder (unsweetened)
    1-teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 small squirt Sweet Leaf Liquid Chocolate Stevia
    1-teaspoon Unsulphured Black Strap Molasses
    1-teaspoon MCT oil or coconut oil.
    BLEND AWAY TILL ICY THICK.

    **I tried the addition of a small amount of guar gum powder, as someone suggested to prevent separation. It seemed to make no difference, but maybe thickened it a little?
    **Definitely went over the original recipe low calorie though.

I want to give my apologies to the folks in the Philadelphia area. I seemed to have brought the California rain with me when I was there Thursday-Saturday. 😂 Hopefully you got some sun after I left.

This is a view if my livingroom. I really like how I styled my console table. The bunny sign and egg tree are from my friends @12timbers. I’ll be sad when Easter is over.

Have a wonderful day!

Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I k Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I know I complain about the weather a lot, but this seriously blows my mind in how crappy it is here. I need to get into the garden. It’s my happy place.

Today I am sharing with you a spring vignette that I created. I just love tulips this time of year. Though, they seem to be out all year at Trader Joe’s, which is kind of strange. I can’t wait until they get peonies and lilacs. My two favorites.
🐰
The candles are from my friends @goldhillcandleco. They are hand poured, 100% soy and have a wooden wick. They smell so fresh and clean. These two candles are from the March subscription box. I highly recommend.
🐰
Have the best day and I hope the sun is shining where you live!!

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.
🫧
I used @cloth.bristle to clean my kitchen counters and sink. I love cleaning my sink with it. It makes it so sparkly and smells good too! Love that it’s all natural.

The beautiful spring tea towel is from my friend Alicia from @theblessedpeach.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

I’m sharing with you my media table all decked out for Easter. I just love decorating for spring and Easter. Something about pulling out the bunnies that makes me smile.

I am loving my Wanted Bunny sign that I got from @12timbers. I love that it’s a neutral color that will go with any style and color. The sign comes in three sizes, and you can choose the coloring of the background and design color.
🐰
The Jute Tree with the Eggs and the Wooden Bunnies are also from 12 Timbers. The Jute Tree is so much fun to add to your decor. I love the colors of the felt eggs. Plus I love the shape and the way the eggs hang off the branches. The Wooden Bunnies are just the cutest. You know me and bunnies. You can choose your bunnies in pink, white or stain. So much fun to add anywhere in your home.

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol
🐰
Have a beautiful day!
