Enjoy one of your favorite Starbucks drinks without the carbs! At under 4 net carbs, this Keto Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino is a sweet holiday treat you can feel good about.
Since living a keto lifestyle and paying more attention to carb count, sometimes I am blown away by how many carbs things have. According to the Starbucks website, a 16-ounce Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino has a whopping 69 grams of carbs. Wow!
This low-carb, keto peppermint mocha frappuccino has just under 4 net carbs for the same size and to be honest, I think it is even better — not to mention cheaper!
Ingredients in a Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino
- Strongly Brewed Coffee
- Unsweetened Almond Milk
- Heavy Cream
- Sweetener of choice (I used swerve to keep this recipe keto)
- Cocoa Powder
- Ice
- Peppermint Extract
Can I Omit the Coffee?
Yes! If you’d like to make a classic low-carb peppermint frappuccino, I recommend following this recipe instead. It still contains peppermint extract and cocoa powder, but there’s no caffeine or coffee in it.
Can I Use Another Non-Dairy Milk?
Yes, you’re welcome to use your favorite unsweetened non-dairy milk in this recipe.
How to Make a Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino
This recipe simply could not get an easier. You just need a good blender!
- Once you combine the coffee, almond milk, cream, sweetener, cocoa powder, ice and peppermint extract, just blend until smooth.
- You can top your peppermint mocha frappe with extra whipped cream, sugar free chocolate chips, or a crushed sugar-free peppermint for a real treat!
Tips for Making a Sugar-Free Frappuccino
- The one thing this recipe does require is a good strong cold coffee. I like to make a batch of iced coffee to have in the fridge, but if you prefer to do small batch you can brew extra strong coffee or espresso the night (or a few hours) before and let it chill in the fridge.
- I made my copycat Starbucks peppermint mocha frappuccino keto-friendly and sugar-free, but you’re welcome to use regular sugar instead of a sugar-free alternative if desired.
- I recommend enjoying your keto frappuccino right away, as it doesn’t keep well in the freezer.
