Vanilla Frappuccino {Starbucks Copycat} – A delicious blended coffee drink made with 4 simple ingredients in just 5 minutes! This is going to be your new favorite coffee drink!
Vanilla Frappuccino {Starbucks Copycat}
After basically perfecting my vanilla bean frappuccino a few years back, I have been dying to try making a straight-up vanilla frappuccino! What is the difference between these similarly named drinks? Well, the vanilla bean frappuccino is made without any coffee in it (it’s great for kids!) and it is closer to a milkshake in taste while a vanilla frappuccino has coffee in it. Both taste great and I’m sure you will love this vanilla frappuccino recipe just as much as the vanilla bean frappuccino.

Notes
- I suggest freezing coffee in an ice tray and using it in the
recipe instead of water-based ice. It helps keep it from getting
watered down as it melts.
