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?

      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!

    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 Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋

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.

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.

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?

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.
