Almond Milk Mocha Frappuccino – simple and refreshing drink, perfect for summer!
This post is sponsored by Almond Breeze Almondmilk.
It is officially summer! Wow!
Although is hasn’t been feeling like a real summer around here, with all the thunder storms and not so high temperatures, I feel ready to go to the beach!
And with the warmer weather, it is time for some refreshing summer recipes like this Almond Milk Mocha Frappuccino.
Here are some more iced coffee drinks – Vanilla Frappe, Coffee Frappe and Iced Vanilla Latte.
I decided to make this awesome drink with almond milk.
I also followed the “frozen coffee ice cubes” method. Have you tried it?
You basically freeze coffee into ice cubes and then use it in frozen drinks.
You just need a good blender, to make sure ice is blended well and the drink is smooth.
It is very simple, flavorful, sweet and chocolatey.
Top with whipper cream or even or whipped coconut cream.
This is the perfect mid afternoon summer drink (snack).
Take it to the pool, relax and enjoy!
The original Almond Breeze Almondmilk is my favorite.
I like using it in smoothies, adding it to my cereal and even baking with it.
And apparently it works for cold drinks like this one.
Almond Breeze Almondmilk is made from all natural real almonds, smooth and creamy, with a little hint of almonds.
It contains 60 calories per serving (1 cup).
It tastes great without a weird after taste.
This almond milk mocha frappuccino could also be considered vegan, if you use vegan chocolate chips and vegan whipped cream.

Ooooh, I love the idea of freezing coffee then whippin it up in the blender! I’ve not tried it! What a fabulous idea… like a frappachino? Then topping it with coconut whip. Okay. I need to do this! ! Delicious recipe, Mira! Thank you for this!
Hope you like it Traci 🙂
It’s just so dangerous that I can make my own frappe at home. Definitely trying this soon!
Hope You Like It!
This recipe would be perfect right about now…I NEED COFFEE! But seriously, freezing the coffee into ice cubes in a genius idea!
This is the first time I tried this method and it worked great! Thanks Rachel!
Looks yummy! I love almond milk!
Thanks Byron!
Thanks!
Mmmmm…this looks absolutely delish!! 🙂 LOVE that I can make it dairy free! Pinned!
Thanks Anna!
I’ve never tried freezing the coffee into ice cubes–sounds like the perfect way from getting it diluted. I just photographed a recipe for a coconut mint iced mocha– have you ever tried canned coconut milk instead of almond? It’s much higher in calorie, so I only use a tablespoon or two, but the flavor is amazing.
Thanks for stopping by Michelle! I haven’t tried coconut milk in a frappuccino, but I agree, it will bring creaminess and flavor, will try it tomorrow! Thanks!
Only discovered the frozen coffee thing this summer. Can’t believe I haven’t been doing that in the past. Looks absolutely delicious.
Thanks Sara!
My mom loves Frappuccinos, and I’m always telling her to order them with soy instead of dairy at Starbucks because of her arthritis. I’m going to make this for her the next time I visit so she can make a healthier version. Thanks Mira!
Oh yeah, they do have soy at Starbucks! Hope she likes it Linda 🙂
