Maple Leaf Frappe

September 23, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 30 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Is it just me or does it seems Pete’s Coffee is really advertising their Maple Frappucino?  I happened to go to Pete’s because I was intrigued and I wanted to try the frappe or latte, but to my surprise, well not really a surprise, but the calories are insanely high and I mean over 300 calories!  Insane!  I couldn’t do it!!  I didn’t want to drink my calories, so I skipped it.  But the thought of a maple frappe stuck in my head!  So what does one do to cut calories, save money and make a kaboodle amounts of a drink?  Make it yourself!

Maple Leaf Frappe

Making it myself was a great idea!!  Boy oh boy is this good! It’s sweet, buttery and the flavor of maple syrup. I always knew I liked maple syrup but to make a drink with the flavoring of maple, yes please!! This drink is very light, fluffy due to the fact that I used xanthan gum to thicken it up. This coffee drink is more like a milkshake than a frappe, but oh so good!!  To give it just a little more pop, I added a dollop of fat free whip cream and a drizzle of maple syrup over the top.  I don’t think I could have to much maple syrup?  Ohh, maybe next time I’ll pour some in the glass first??  The I ‘ll really get a nice maple flavor.  Oh that might be maple flavoring overkill?
Maple Leaf Frappe
This recipe makes over 5 cups of pure maple sweetness! It’s enough to share with 2, 3 or 4 people!! And get this, I almost fell over when I did the calorie count! I made the serving size for two, for those who really like their frappes and the calories per serving is 35! Yes you read that correct 35 calories. What the??? The reason is I only used 1 tsp of maple syrup and I used maple extract for additional flavoring. Using extracts is a real calorie savor!!! If you drank all 5 cups it would only be 70 calories. Love you Pete’s, but this has you beat!!!

Maple Leaf Frappe
I have to say it has been a while since I posted a Coffee drink. I have been cutting back a little bit on it, since I was getting a little to out of control. For those who don’t like coffee, I am sure this drink will taste delicious made with just milk or even coconut milk. I am unsure how it would be with almond milk?


Have a super great Monday!!

Toodles,

Jennifer

The xanthan gum tends to grow and it pushed my whip cream right out!

    What does the xanthan gum do? What will happen if I don’t add that?

    • Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says

      September 23, 2013 at 6:55 PM

      Hi Brenna,

      Xanthan Gum is a thickener and helps to prevent the frappe from separating. I make drinks without it all the time. It has no effect on flavor. From what I understand, not sure about this, but Starbucks also uses in there Frappucinos. You don’t need it in this drink!

    I love all things coffee (and peanut butter, but that’s another story…) and this sounds wonderful! Where do you buy xanthan gum?

    Reply
    • Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers says

      September 25, 2013 at 9:05 PM

      Xanthan Gum is a thickner and is really needed for the drink, but if you want to get it, it’s made by Bob’s Red Mill. I bought mine at the health food section of the grocery store. It’s kind of pricey ($11 – $13.00 a bag), but a bag will last way over a year. I store mine in the fridge.

      Oh and I love all things coffee too!! But I am sure you know that and Peanut butter is without saying! 🙂

      Hi Kelly, Try processing it in the blender longer. Mine could be a little fluffier because I used Xanthum Gum? I’m glad the flavor worked out. I bet almond milk made it taste super yummy. Great idea!

    Hello Jennifer~
    I love coffee drinks. I don’t drink them often because of all of the calories, but this looks like the best of both worlds! I love maple and will be trying this soon. Thanks so much for stopping by and linking this up to last week’s Weekend Potluck. Have a great rest of the week!

Happy Thursday! It’s been a crazy week over at m Happy Thursday! It’s been a crazy week over at my house this week. I started rearranging things around and left messes throughout my house. I start in one spot and it spread throughout. I need to do some major cleanup before the weekend.
💙
One thing I did was change my table in my dining room. I went more neutral until I start to bring the lemons out. I can’t wait for lemon season. I already have a tablescape in mind.
💙
I got the cute Home Sweet Home sign from my friend Brantley from @thesassyoak. It’s in the perfect spot. When you walk into my house you see the table right away. Isn’t the sign so cute? It matches my home so beautifully.
💙
What are your plans for the weekend?

Happy Wednesday!! Half way through the week. Boy I Happy Wednesday!! Half way through the week. Boy I can’t wait for the weekend. I’m looking so forward to finish working in the garden. Well, technically it will never be finished, which I don’t mind. I want to plant a tomato this weekend. Just not sure what kind?
🌿
I refreshed my living room just a tad bit. I took down most of the bunnies, and that is all. I had a lot of them. It made me realize that I forgot my coffee bar. I still have bunnies, chicks and eggs on it. They’ll have to come down this week.
🌿
I have a surprise! Swipe my photo and you’ll see Sampson! He hasn’t made an appearance here in awhile. He said he misses you all!
🌿
Are you planting any vegetables this season?

My Mom got these by saving the stamps you would get from the grocery store with purchase. Each piece of China had a stamp value.

Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room a lit Happy Thursday! I changed up my dining room  a little bit. I took out my Easter decor and gave it a more neutral look and did some switching around. Plus I added a Samantha Sue, who is laying down in the photo. lol
🍓
One of my favorite pieces that I added was my new @krumpetshomedecor sign. I love the style of the sign with the shiplap white wash look and of course the cute strawberry and daisies that add a pretty pop of color.

The sign is also reversible. It also says Life is Sweet on the other side without the strawberries and daises. The sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week.

Hello and happy Wednesday! Thank you for all your Hello and happy Wednesday!  Thank you for all your kind words about the dentist. All he had to do is cement my crown back on. He said your crown has sticky with clear stuff on it. He said I don’t think it’s the old cement?  I told him I ate a white Trader Joe’s jelly bean and I thought I got it all off. He was laughing.
🌿
It’s that time of year for house plant care. While your plants are waking from dormancy, it’s time to feed them, repot them if needed and give a trim if applicable.
🌿
I also water my plants about every 7-10 days, depending on the plant. My coffee plant, fern, violet and my mixed plant container needs watering more. The key to know when to water is check the soil. I use a water meter probe and  you just stick it in the dirt. If it’s dry, I water. If it’s moist or wet, I’ll check again in a few days. You can get a water meter at Lowe’s, your local nursery or Amazon. It’s my number 1 garden tool. We use it on outside plants too.
🌿
I’m also sharing with you my cute little tea towel that I got from @e.h.designco. Her shop is closed right now because she’s moving, but will be open back in June.
🌿
Okay, go check your plants!
🌿
What’s your favorite house plant?

Happy Tuesday! Well today’s the day! I head to Happy Tuesday!  Well today’s the day! I head to the dentist. Wish me luck. I hope they will be able to glue my crown back on. I hate going to the dentist! Ugh!
🌸
Today I am sharing with you my new plates and bowls that I got from @sonemone_official. I just love them. The shade of blue is so pretty and I love the vibrant colors on them.
🌸
The bowls are huge and would make a wonderful soup bowl or salad bowl. The plates would be beautiful served with a charcuterie board. They are microwave and dishwasher safe. They would be so pretty on a summer tablescape.
🌸
Are you ready for summer decorating?

Happy Good Friday! So happy the weekend is here. Happy Good Friday!  So happy the weekend is here. It’s been a glorious week with warm temperatures and sunshine. Next week it’s supposed to cool off dramatically, so I am going to enjoy it while it’s here.
💕
I wanted to get one last Easter tiered tray in before Sunday. Everything you see here is from small shops. I tagged all of them in the photo.
💕
This weekend I’ll be taking a break from IG to work in the yard and to do some decorating so I have some new content to share with you. Though with Easter almost behind us, I’m unsure what I’ll do next? But I do think I’ll stick with the yellows? But we’ll see.
💕
Have the most wonderful weekend and Easter holiday!!

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind Happy Thursday! I can’t believe March is behind us and now we are in April. March flew by in a blink of an eye.  I can’t get over how fast the month went. It’s crazy.
🌸
My excitement for me today is trying to get into a dentist. My crown on my implant fell out yesterday when I was eating a jelly bean. The last place I want to go is the dentist. Yuck!
🌸
I’ll admit engagement in March on IG has just been awful. But I am so thankful for you. Thank you for stopping by and liking my photos and your sweet comments. You always make my day. Let’s hope April is better for all of us.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my top 4 photos of March. You guys picked some good ones. The first photo of the Easter tablescape is my favorite tablescape I’ve done.
🌸
Do you have any plans for this weekend?
