Skinny Peppermint Mocha Frappe and Latte

November 6, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 44 Comments

It’s official   I have been bitten by the red cup!!  The red cup drove me in, and now I want more, more I tell yah!  But can I afford the calories?  Can I afford the cash?  The answer is no!  So what is a girl to do?  Well, make your own silly!!!

Oh Peppermint Mocha Frappe, so cool, creamy and so pepperminty.  Oh how I love thee….   But it’s cold out I want a hot latte.  But do I dare share two coffee recipes with you today?  Of course I do!!!

Ahhh, a hot peppermint latte.  Mmmm, coffee, chocolate and peppermint all together to make this skinny little package!!  It’s like a combination of peppermint hot chocolate and coffee.  How perfect is that?  Time to kick the red cup to the curb!!!


Ok, I’m only kidding, I wouldn’t actually kick the red cup to the curb!  I’m a gold member after all!!  I love Starbucks and it’s pretty apparent that I do, since I try to copy their wonderful coffee recipes!!  But one thing I don’t like about Starbucks is the calories!  So this past weekend I experimented on my two favorite holiday drinks.  The Frappe was pretty easy to make, but I made the latte a few times to get it exact.  Lucky for me, I could still taste my Starbucks, so I think I did a pretty good job at replicated their latte.

When I was out and about on Saturday I did my normal Target run and what I found was peppermint flavored whip cream.  It is 15 calories for two tablespoons, so I bought it.  I just need to limit myself on it.  Now don’t do what I did for the photos and add a ton of whip cream.  I kind went overboard, but it does look pretty!

Like the little candies?  I stole them from work.  I thought they would be pretty to go with my drink!   I made the frappe using xanthan gum to thicken it up and to prevent it from separating for photo purposes.  However the stuff thicken my drink up so much that I ended up with 5 cups.  If you make the drink and not use the xanthan gum, you should get about 2 cups or a little more.  Crazy how that stuff works.  Between you and I, I only use the xanthan gum so the drink doesn’t separate for my photos, otherwise I don’t use it.  But if your sharing your drink, use it!  You get more bang for the buck!

Lets do some comparisons to see how I compared to Starbucks Frappe.  I love to do these!

Starbucks Peppermint Mocha Frappe (venti) – Calories:  250,  Fat:  2,  Sodium:  310,  Carbs:  52,  Fiber:  4,  Sugar:  37,  Protein:  8

PB&P Peppermint Frappe (2 cups) – Calories:  44.7,  Fat:  .03,  Sodium:  63.6,  Carbs:  6.4,  Fiber:  .03,  Sugar:  6,  Protein:  4.3

Who loves ya baby?  I do!!!  The numbers speak for themselves!  Here is the recipe for the Frappe.

Coffee blended with flavored peppermint extract, cocoa powder and nonfat milk.
Serves: 2 Cups
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups frozen coffee, partially frozen
  • ½ cup non-fat milk
  • 2 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ - 1 tsp. stevia (to taste)
  • ⅛ tsp. peppermint extract
  • ⅛ tsp. xanthan gum (optional)
  • Optional Toppings:
  • Peppermint whip cream
  • 1 dash chocolate flakes

One thing I found with both drinks is I needed to add more Stevia then normal.  So taste test it to see how much sugar you may need.  Also note that the Peppermint Extract I used is very potent!  I little goes a long way!!  You can thank Trader Joe’s for all of this!  It’s their coffee, there unsweetened cocoa powder and it’s their peppermint extract!  Yupper Doodles they carry peppermint extract now!!  Yah!!!  Look how cute the bottle is.  Oh and I updated my TJ’s page!

So how did I do with the Latte?  Now the calories are higher than with the Frappe because I used more milk, but basically the recipe is close to the same!!

Starbucks Skinny Peppermint Mocha Latte (Grande) – Calories:  130,  Fat:  1.5,  Sodium:  0,  Carbs:  17,  Fiber:  4,  Sugar:  13,  Protein:  13

PB&P Skinny Peppermint Mocha Latte (1 1/2 cups) – Calories:  90.9,  Fat:  1.5,  Sodium:  97,  Carbs:  14.1,  Fiber: 3,  Sugar:  9.4,  Protein:  8.1

I have to say our drinks are pretty comparable!  Mine is less calories, less carbs, less sugar, but also less protein and fiber.  But all in all not bad!!  Ok Starbucks I’m ok with your drink!

I had fun with my weekend experiments   I am so glad I did this.  You may have noticed that I made a Peppermint Frappe last year, but this blows that recipe out of the water!  I like these two much better.

I sure hope you like peppermint!  I have lots of recipes that I want to make using my new found peppermint extract!  Peppermint is one my favorite things this time of year!!  What is your favorite holiday flavor?

Well my peeps, time for me to go, I feel like I have been writing way to long!

Have a great day!!

Toodles,

Jennifer

      Hey I understand! When I go to Starbucks I must drive the ladies crazy! I ask, how many calories, is that? How many pumps do you use. Can you make it less? if you do will it still taste good? They are so kind, but I know they must think I am crazy!

    I have to agree with Joanne on this!! I want to kiss you too!!! Peppermint and chocolate is such a Christmas flavor to me!! I love those red cups too, and dont mind a splurge once in awhile but I am REALLY looking forward to buying me a special Christmas mug (maybe red) and enjoying your Peppermint Mochas!! Thanks again!

      Ahhh, I love all the kisses! lol I agree peppermint and chocolate is very Christmas to me too!! One of my favorite things about the holiday! I bought a white mug with white snowflakes and a red silhouette of a lady putting a gift under a Christmas tree! I was going to use it in my photo but I thought I may have been pushing the Christmas season too soon! 🙂

    When I lived in Canada I would go to Second Cup for coffee, and they had a Creme Brulee Ristretto, I still dream about it!
    Your pics are terrific, you may convert me to peppermint lattes.

    I do want to try the frozen one but the other one tasted tooo pepperminty for me. Maybe 1/8 tsp of extract. Or maybe using almond milk did not mix well with it? Great idea but I used more coffee and milk and it was strong. I love peppermint so next time I think I will cut back on the extract. Awesome idea and this is great for the holidays!

      Peppermint can be strong! I always start out with a little and go from there. Not sure how almond milk would taste with it, but I can’t imagine it would be to bad. Sorry it didn’t turn out great for you!! Have a wonderful weekend! 🙂

    Looks so yummy! Do you think I could make a large batch of the latte and keep it warm in a crockpot for a party? Or is it something you should drink right away after making it? Thanks for sharing!!!

      Good question! I would think you could make it and keep it warm in the crockpot. I would just whisk it occasionally and especially before serving! What a fantastic idea! The more I think of it, the more think, why not?

    Where does the fiber come from? I don’t see it….as an avid W.W. member always looking for low calorie I am also looking at fiber but I sure do not see it in this drink.

      The unsweetened cocoa powder has .06 grams of fiber in it. Thats all.

Hello Thursday!! Two more days to go, but who’s Hello Thursday!! Two more days to go, but who’s counting? I am!  I just saw that my nursery got some Iceland Poppies and I think I need to go get some for the garden. We’re supposed to get rain, so it’s a great time to get them planted and I won’t have to worry about watering them.
🌸
Speaking of flowers, I was gifted this gorgeous bouquet of silk flowers from @prestige.botanicals. Don’t they look so real? I am impressed with the quality of the flowers.
🌸
The flowers remind me of an English Cottage Garden. The only problem with them is I need more. Like a lot more!! They are by far the best faux flowers I have ever seen. The flowers are so soft and feel so real. The foliage is the most beautiful green color.
🌸
My husband thought I bought myself some fresh flowers, he couldn’t believe how real they look. I just checked on there website and some flowers are on sale for 30% off. The perfect time to get more.
🌸
If you could only have one flower forever, what would it be?

Happy Wednesday! For a short week, I sure am tired Happy Wednesday! For a short week, I sure am tired. I think I need more coffee and better food. I keep snacking and that is such a bad habit for me. I’m going to try to be better starting today.
🌸
I’m just loving my tray and riser by the sink. It’s so bright and happy. The only thing is, I look at it a bazillion times a day and I seemed to have neglected my coffee plant on the tray.
🌸
I totally forgot to water it and the leaves fell flat and got crispy. I’m happy it perked back up. This is one of the plants that I need to repot. The roots are growing out of the pot. I hope to get a little pot for it this weekend.
🌸
Things have been pretty quite here, but boy we had some serious high winds with gusts up to 60mph. The wind blew so many leaves off our citrus trees and broke my salvia plant. The poor plant can’t get a break. It finally started to grow back after Sampson stepped on it.
🌸
I hope you have an amazing day!!
🌸
Would you rather live without a TV or without a phone?

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. The wea Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. The weather was beautiful here, but that won’t last long. By mid week we will be back in the low 50’s with high wind and a chance of rain, for several days. But that’s okay, we need the rain.
🌷
Saturday morning I went to Trader Joe’s, and oh my gosh they had the most gorgeous tulips. I was so surprised to find them so early in the year. All those beautiful colors just made me happy. I picked up two bundles to take home with me. I just had too! Shhhh, some daffodils, a plant and planted tulips made it in my cart. I am unclear how that happened?🤷🏼‍♀️
🌷
I know, I know, I’m on the 30 day, no buying home decor challenge. But are flowers really decor? They are more of a “put a smile on your face because you know Spring is coming” kind of flower. I’ll make any excuse I can.
🌷
I did go to Michaels yesterday with my husband and I walked out empty handed. I even saw some really cute decor, but I told myself no. Today is day 18! You do realize, we are going shopping on the 31st.
🌷

Happy Friday!  Time to do the happy dance! I don’t have any major plans this weekend, which is nice. But I do think I’ll be cleaning out the pantry. It became a mess during the holidays.
🪶
I’m ending the week with my little friend Woody. Woody is a Nuttall Woodpecker that spends the night in our birdhouse. He comes home at dusk and leaves at sunrise. So right now Woody sleeps just over 14 hours. I have noticed the days are getting longer, as he goes to bed about two minutes later every night. Yes I watch. lol
🪶
My husband said Woody leaves in the morning to go to work and comes home after work. I think he leaves in the morning to go visit his girlfriend. They spend the days flying, holding wings as they soar in the air together.
🪶
I’m actually surprised we have a woodpecker since they normally like to hang around the California Oak Woodland trees. We don’t have oak trees where I live, at least that I know of. Woody is also a California bird, they pretty much stays within the state.
🪶
In the first video; Woody is making the hole bigger on the birdhouse so he could fit in. He was at it for awhile. If you listen to the video, you can here him pecking. He spent the 1st night in the blue birdhouse, then changed his mind to the cedar birdhouse. He’s been with us for 7 nights so far.
🪶
The second video is Woody coming home and going to sleep. We are just full of joy seeing him come back. My husband didn’t think birds lived in a birdhouse, and he is so excited to see one actually use the birdhouse he hung. For a man who didn’t want bird feeders, he gets so excited to see them. If birds are in the yard, he won’t go outside because he doesn’t want to disturb them.
🪶
The two photos were captures I got. He actually didn’t freak out and leave when he saw me. I was about 5’ away from him.
🪶
I know this is not decor, but the birds just make me so happy.
🪶
What is your favorite bird?

Hello hello! Happy Thursday! It’s been a busy w Hello hello! Happy Thursday!  It’s been a busy week, so the weekend can’t get here soon enough. Yesterday it hit 66, it felt like spring out. This weekend, I’ll be cleaning up the garden. I’ll take you on a tiny tour this weekend.
❤️
I love making vignettes. It helps give me ideas on how and where I want to display things in my home, so you may see some of these items placed somewhere else at a later date.
❤️
My friend Liz @little_bit_original gifted me the cute little coffee with heart block and the snowman with heart. Give me all the hearts!  Liz has the cutest little shop, be sure you check her out.
❤️
What would you rather have? Chocolate or Flowers?

Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday! We are half way ther Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday! We are half way there!  I’m counting down to the weekend. It’s supposed to hit near 70 degrees which is rare for this time of year.
💕
I’m sharing with you my little Valentines vignette that I put together. Since some of you said buying candy and displaying it was considered home decor, I used the Hostess Snow Balls that my husband bought.
💕
He said your using the Snow Balls I bought for Home Decor. I said yup! It’s pink and goes with my Valentines. Now I can’t eat them because I don’t want to lose my display. Lol
💕
I was so excited to get my happy mail from @thevintagehomestudio. The tea towel and candy bar was the perfect addition to my display. I love my tea towel so much. Give me all the hearts.
💕
I’m half way through my no buying home decor challenge. So far so good, but I will tell you now, I am going to buy some flowers when I hit up Trader Joe’s this week, I just have too. I heard they got a bunch of gorgeous tulips. I must have them. But I promise that I won’t go crazy.
💕
What are your plans for the weekend?

Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting longer and Spring will be here before we know it. #sponsored I can’t wait! Spring is my favorite season!
🌸
I’m sharing with you my new Yuri 4 piece patio set that I got from RST Brands. I love the clean lines and it’s made with certified eucalyptus wood. Plus it is so comfortable to sit on.
🌸
The beautiful light blue cushions are covered in a durable olefin fabric that is weather resistant. Plus the cushions have zippers, so you can wash the cushion covers. That’s a big plus, considering Sampson loves to sit on furniture.
🌸
I can’t wait to decorate my Yuri 4 piece seating set with throws, pillows and of course plants. When the weather warms up, I’ll take you along with me when I decorate.
🌸
Are you looking forward to Spring?

Happy Monday! As usual the weekend flew by, but I’m happy that I got some things done. I’m really trying to do some purge and organize. Slowly moving at it, one day at a time.
💕
I’m sharing with you my Valentines Day tiered tray. If you notice, I finally got a new tiered tray.  Woohoo, the tiered tray is from @paperadpallet. I’m so happy to ditch my old white one. It was so crooked that I had to put a towel under to make it straight. I now finally have a straight tiered tray.
💕
I’ve been good and I still haven’t gone shopping, but after putting this tray together, I realize I don’t own any wooden hearts. I really would like some white and pink ones. I could do a diy, I don’t think that’s considered buying home decor?
💕
How was your weekend?
