Clean Eating Mocha Coconut Frappuccino Recipe
This delicious, clean eating mocha coconut frappuccino recipe will put frappuccinos in a whole new light!
I used to love Starbucks. I truly did. But what I didn’t love was what Starbucks did to my eating plan. I mean, let’s face it, unless you order just coffee, most of their drinks are far from clean. So when a reader asked me to try this one, I had to give it a shot.
The truth is, I’ve gotten a lot of requests for cleaned-up versions of various Starbucks drinks. And while I fully intend to give more of them a try, this one seemed doable to me from the get-go. While it may not be an exact match, I think you’ll find this version equally enjoyable. In fact, it’s kinda like drinking a creamy slushy! Who wouldn’t love that on a hot summer day?

Clean Eating Mocha Coconut Frappuccino®
Ingredients
- 1 cup coffee (brewed strong and cooled completely)
- 2 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup light coconut milk (canned, not refrigerated)
- 3 tbsp. honey
- 3 cups ice cubes (or enough to make it the icy consistency you enjoy most)
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until you have an icy slush.
- Note: If you want to get really fancy, try topping it with this the coconut whipped cream mentioned above.
I am going to try to make this with frozen coconut water instead of ice. I will let you know how it comes out!
Terri – Please do! Sounds interesting!
We make this at home also, but we use homemade cold-pressed coffee instead. The flavor is richer without the bitterness of hot coffee. The simplest way is to put 1 part coffee and 4 parts water into a container in your fridge overnight. In the morning, filter through cheesecloth/a filter lined funnel/whatever you have that will handle it. You’ll end up with about a quart and a half of coffee concentrate. When using for recipes like this, use slightly less than called for since the flavor has steeped longer.
S – Sounds good!
Love these kind of clean drinks! I’ve made a yummy “Caramel” with the coconut sugar! It is so good!! It may work with the drink, but haven’t tried it with that. I made caramel popcorn with it though! Thanks for the clean recipes!
Danielle – My pleasure!
I really wanted something chocolate and frozen tonight – thankfully I remembered this recipe!! I used Almond milk and 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder ~ it’s heaven!!! Thanks. 🙂
Christine – My pleasure! 🙂
I am so excited about this drink! One of the problems I always run into while clean eating however is coconut. I strongly dislike coconut in any form. This causes a lot of problems. I’m also not a fan of almond milk. I’m not going to let the coconut get me down though. For now I’ll try it with coconut milk because I happen to have some sitting forgotten in my cupboard but most likely I’ll have to go to regular milk for it. Hoping if I add a little more cocoa to it, it will reduce to coconut taste. Now lol how do I use my coffee maker haha I don’t drink regular coffee and have never used the new maker my husband bought 8 months ago. Wish me luck!
Amanda – Time to bust out that coffee maker!!! And while I haven’t tried it with regular milk, I see no reason why it shouldn’t work. Let me know how it goes! 😀
This is soo good! Thanks!
Kat – So glad you enjoyed it! 😀
Question: When you say light coconut milk, do you mean the one out of a can?
Claudia – Yes. The stuff in the carton/refrigerated section is not clean. That being said, you should still read labels to ensure what you are buying is clean.
Just found this healthy frap recipe tonight and it looked to good to not try! I whipped up some Teecino herbal coffee (highly recommend it for those of you who don’t want to or can’t drink caffeine) and made this with some slight change to the recipe since I didn’t have coconut milk on hand. It turned out FABULOUS! So delicious! Great recipe, thank you!!!
Kelly – I’m so happy you enjoyed it! 🙂
