This drink is so creamy and delicious. It’s one of my most favorite coffee drinks!
It’s been a little over a week since I posted my last recipe and I feel like I am in such a funk these past couple of weeks! I just can’t get the words to flow out of my brainnnn. And to top of my funk-ness I’m getting a cold. YAY for end of Summer colds! Summer is coming to an end but you know what doesn’t end for me? My love for iced or frozen drinks. I have them all year round because hot coffee is just BLEH! Yuck. On any given day you can find me concocting some kind of mixture in my blender, my favorite being this mocha frappuccino. I have been making this drink for a little over a year now and it’s such a refreshing, delicious treat every once in a while when you need a pick-me-up. The chocolate and coffee really balance each other out well without either one being more powerful than the other.
It’s no surprise that when I got to Starbucks, one of my favorites is a mocha frappuccino even though I feel like a 12 year old ordering it. Those drinks can be CRAZY expensive so making this recipe at home cuts the cost to a fraction of the price and it tastes even better.
This recipe only uses a few simple ingredients that I’m sure you have in your kitchen right now and preparing it couldn’t be easier. Like any frozen drink, just dump and blend! Easy peasy. You are 5 minutes away from creamy, dreamy mocha heaven!

Mocha frappuccinos are totally one of my guilty pleasures…I guess now I have no excuse for paying $5 for one at Starbucks! Looks delish!
That’s what I say! Thanks, Denise!
Summer colds are the worst but this frappuccino sounds amazing!
I know right, such a bummer! Thanks, Tonia!
I feel you on being in a funk! This whole summer has just been terrible with creating new content, but these fraps loookkk sooo goood! Pinned!
Yes!!! I feel like I’m in slow motion when it comes to blogging lately. Thanks for pinning, Justine!
Ok, so in college I lived on these things! I would go to barnes and noble with my friends we would set up shop, study, grab sandwiches at potbelly’s and then drink mocha frap’s all day long! This looks so good right now!
That sounds like the perfect way to study! Lol
Do you make the coffee first?
Yes, make coffee first and let it come to room temperature. Cold coffee is even better.
I love mocha frappaccino’s, one of my favourite drinks in the summer! These look delicious!
MMmmm! I use to work at Starbucks so I sure do miss those frappucinos! This is perfect to fill in that gap!
