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!

    Sorry to keep barging in. It was written in our newspapers not to drink skimmed milk. It has sugar in it plus ?

    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’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week and you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.

Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and boy does it feel so nice to have a clean room.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

I updated my little corner by adding some pops of yellow. I just love adding yellow and I love adding lemons. Speaking of lemons, how cute is my little “Hello Sunshine” pillow is from @krumpetshomedecor.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

🌸
I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
