Frozen coffee drinks are seemingly everywhere these days.

From Starbucks, to McDonalds, to Dunkin Donuts, you don’t have to travel far to get your summer coffee beverage fix.

It probably comes as no surprise that these frosty coffee drinks are far from healthy; a McDonalds Frappe Mocha packs 560 calories, 70 grams sugar(!), and an entire day’s worth of saturated fat into just one 16oz glass.

And a Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino—weighing in with 360 calories and 54 grams sugar—is hardly much better.

Luckily, recreating these creamy blended mocha beverages at home is extremely easy and will save you hundreds of calories per serving!

Not to mention all that sugar…

Topping it with Coconut Whipped Cream barely even moves the nutrition stats on this thick and frosty beverage.

Translation: You can top your creamy frosted mocha drink with a mountain of homemade whipped cream.

All frozen coffee drinks should come with a mountain of whipped cream.

Creamy Blended Frozen Mocha

A thick blended coffee drink you can make at home with just a few basic ingredients.
Total Time 5 minutes
Yield 1 serving
5 from 5 votes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 1 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp instant coffee granules, decaf or regular
  • pinch salt (important)
  • 2 tbsp sugar, or pinch uncut stevia or sweetener of choice to taste

Instructions

  • Stir all ingredients together. You want it to taste a little too sweet, as it will taste less sweet once frozen. Sweetener amount will depend on the milk you use, your tastebuds, and the type of sweetener used. (You can use dates, banana, sugar, maple syrup, etc.) Freeze in an ice cube tray or in a few shallow plastic containers. Once frozen, pop out of the containers and blend on high. If your blender is not very powerful, you might have to let the coffee ice cubes thaw a bit first. Top with whipped cream (My healthy + dairy-free whipped cream recipe is linked earlier in this post) and chocolate syrup!

    Hi Katie!

    I just started a way of eating called “Trim Healthy Mama”; actually, that’s the name of the book that explains the whys and wherefores, as well as the how-to’s. The basic idea is that one always makes sure to have protein in each meal; to maintain one’s current weight, it’s fine to eat carbs and fats in the same meal; to lose weight, one should eat *either* carbs *or* fats with that meal’s protein.

    At any rate — and I don’t know if you’ve heard of the “Trim Healthy Mama” way of eating — I am curious if you made any of the recipes you’ve created compatible with the “THM” way of eating.

    If that hasn’t been a ‘thing’ on your radar, NO problem. I have a fairly good idea of what the “THM” -type recipes look like, and can figure out how many “Chocolate-Covered-Katie” recipes I can have while still remaining ‘on-plan’ with THM. In case some recipes were already designated “THM,” I thought I’d ask ( & also because I’ve often been accused of making things harder than they need to be 🙂 ).

    Thanks for all the work you have done, and keep doing, to post not just desserts that won’t be bad for us, but desserts that can actually be good for us! I enjoy reading your ‘blog and gobbling up the results of your recipes that I make. 🙂
