Silken tofu – Our secret ingredient that gives this vegan Frappuccino creaminess without dairy. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it!
Unsweetened cacao powder – What’s better than a Frappuccino? A mocha Frappuccino!
Pitted dates – Unlike store-bought, you’ll know exactly what sweetens this Frappuccino, and it’s dates! You can also opt for any sweetener of choice. Try this drink with a tablespoon or two of maple syrup.
Pure vanilla extract – Enhances the flavor of the vegan mocha Frappuccino. You can also bring out the rich chocolate flavor with a pinch of salt.
Unsweetened almond milk – Add any unsweetened dairy-free milk to adjust the cold drink’s consistency.
Cacao nibs – Optional toppings. Dark chocolate shavings will also be yummy!

Tips For Making This Recipe
Do Not Over-blend
Blend your vegan Frappuccino just until it’s smooth. Frappuccino is meant to have a slushy-like consistency!
Dress Up Your Drink
Make your homemade healthy Frappuccino look like it came straight out of your favorite coffee shop with a cloudy whipped cream topping drizzled with chocolate sauce.
Storage Tips
Transfer your leftover mocha Frappuccino to a glass jar and refrigerate for up to 3 days. However, this drink is best enjoyed freshly made so you don’t lose its indulgent milkshake-like consistency.
