It’s getting warmer (or at least trying to), which means iced drink season is officially on deck. I haven’t touched my blender in a minute, so I figured it’s time to bring it back into the rotation with some good ol’ Frappuccino recipes. Because let’s be real, homemade tastes better, and saving $7 per drink in this economy? Yes please.
So, if you’re into DIY drinks and wanna save your cash for other things (like rent), this roundup’s for you.
Easy Frappuccino Recipes (20 Ways)
These Frappuccino recipes are way simpler than they sound. No complicated syrup bases or special barista gear necessary to make them work.
All you need is a blender, some ice, and a few everyday ingredients. That’s it! Let’s do this thing.
1. Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino
If your idea of self-care involves chocolate and caffeine, this Frapp is calling your name. It takes iced coffee, chocolate syrup, and crushed Oreos and turns it into something suspiciously better than something you’d get at a drive-thru.
Add whip and extra cookie crumbs to put a bow on it. Lick your fingers as you go… no judgment.
RECIPE: Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino
2. Red Velvet Frappuccino
Red velvet in a glass? Say no more.
A kiss of cocoa powder, a hint of vanilla, and espresso swirled with just enough raspberries to make it SING. Velvety smooth, a tiny bit rich, and topped with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle. No-bake but still a dessert.
RECIPE: Red Velvet Frappuccino
3. Vanilla Bean Frappuccino
Here’s one for when you’re feeling dessert-y but caffeine-free. Ice, milk, and vanilla ice cream get together in a way that’s suspiciously fancy-feeling for something requiring almost zero effort.
Blitz one up in no time, still feel legit. Add whipped cream, pretend it’s self-care.
RECIPE: Vanilla Bean Frappuccino
4. Lavender Crème Frappuccino
Putting lavender in your Frappuccino may seem like overkill, but trust me on this. This drink blends lavender syrup, milk, vanilla syrup, and ice to create a refreshing iced beverage that feels ever so fancy.
Caffeine-free and lovely for a chill afternoon or anytime you’re manifesting Bridgerton vibes.

5. Java Chip Frappuccino
You can’t mess up coffee and chocolate.
Blend ice, chilled espresso (critical!), semi-sweet chocolate chips, and chocolate syrup into a treat that’s basically your post-lunch get-up-and-go and dessert in one glass.
Sweet, crunchy, and ultra-satisfying. Add whipped cream on top and declare victory.

6. Vanilla Bean Frappuccino With Caramel
Take OG vanilla ice cream and level the Frapp up with a caramel swirl. It’s rich & smooth, and pulls together faster than your Monday brain. Sweet but not cloying and just the right amount of pizzazz.
Heap whipped cream, drizzle more caramel on top, and pretend you’re at a fancy café instead of your kitchen.

7. Starbucks Copycat Witch’s Brew Frappuccino
Bananas, blueberries, almond milk, OJ, and dragonfruit get the blender buzz treatment for a bright purple shake. Chia seeds speckle the glass.
Top with whip and green sprinkles for maximum potion vibes. Fruity, dairy-free, Halloween brag material.
RECIPE: Starbucks Copycat Witch’s Brew Frappuccino
8. Copycat S’mores Starbucks Frappuccino
Think S’mores minus the fire hazard.
Marshmallow topping, cocoa powder, sugar, and espresso frolic with milk and ice. Whipped cream and graham cracker sprinkles cement the campfire vibe.
It’s messy, chocolatey, and worth washing the blender for.
RECIPE: Copycat S’mores Starbucks Frappuccino
9. Starbucks Strawberry Funnel Cake Frappuccino
Brewed coffee, milk, and ice blend with ‘funnel-cake syrup’ (aka strawberry puree) in a blender. The whole thing is crowned with whipped cream and house-made crunchy funnel-cake sugar sprinkles.
Grab a straw and imagine fresh berries atop funnel cake, but as a drink. Summer-fair energy minus sticky fingers.

10. Starbucks Cinnamon Roll Frappuccino
Another caffeine-free recipe!
Vanilla bean ice cream is working overtime here. Mix with milk, ice, white mocha sauce, and homemade cinnamon syrup for a frappuccino that tastes like a bakery run.
Top with whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon, and you’ve got a drinkable cinnamon roll.

11. Healthy Chocolate Hazelnut Frappe
Finally, something that tastes like a treat but is secretly healthy. It uses cold brew, nut milk, cacao, maple, and chocolate hazelnut butter to hit all the Nutella notes, minus the sugar crash. No dairy, no refined sugar, but still a major win.
Plus, you can pronounce all the ingredients without needing a chemistry degree.

12. Caramel Frappuccino Copycat
Let’s be real, this drink is a classic for a reason! Strong coffee, caramel syrup, milk, and ice get blended into a thick, sweet drink that is 100% perfect every time.
Add whipped cream and an extra caramel drizzle to keep things fun. Save it for that 3 p.m. slump or when you just need a refreshing sugar rush.
RECIPE: Caramel Frappuccino Copycat
13. White Chocolate Frappuccino
White chocolate’s usually the wallflower, but not this time. Hot espresso melts white chocolate chips into a silky base before heading to the blender with half‑and‑half and ice.
The result? Creamy, sweet caffeination. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of white‑chocolate shavings, then raise a glass to skipping the lineups.
RECIPE: White Chocolate Frappuccino
14. Copycat Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino
Mocha die-hards, this one’s for you. A frothy little concoction of strong coffee, milk, chocolate syrup, and sugar that both caffeinates and sugar-highs. Strong. Cold. Easy.
Toss on some whipped cream and chocolate drizzle if you think minimalism is a bore.
RECIPE: Copycat Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino
15. Starbucks Vanilla Frappuccino
Instant coffee, milk, vanilla extract, and a snowfall of ice ride the blender until frosty and pale. It’s basically bottled vanilla frapp in DIY form, minus the four-dollar markup.
Pour it tall, blast it with whipped cream, then Snapchat the foam moustache. Wallet stays happy, sweet tooth stays louder.
RECIPE: Starbucks Vanilla Frappuccino
16. Apple Crisp Oatmilk Frappuccino
Cold‑brew coffee, oat milk, and a good splash of apple‑brown‑sugar syrup spin with ice and a pinch of xanthan gum for that extra‑thick texture.
Pour it into a tall glass, add whipped cream, then zig‑zag on spiced caramel drizzle for the full fall experience. Zero pumpkin required, maximum apple energy.
RECIPE: Apple Crisp Oatmilk Frappuccino
17. Healthy Unicorn Frappuccino
Colorful and fun minus the sugar bomb, this one uses frozen fruit, yogurt, and a sprinkle of magic to recreate the iconic Starbucks look without all the bad.
A quick swirl of blue comes from purple‑cabbage water (no artificial dye required). Glob on whipped cream and a pinch of edible glitter if you’re feeling funky. It’s bright, fun, and kid‑approved.
RECIPE: Healthy Unicorn Frappuccino
18. Gluten-Free Cookies & Cream Frappuccino
If Oreos are your love language, this one delivers.
It’s made with gluten-free chocolate cookies, cashew ice cream, and vanilla for a creamy base that keeps it allergy-friendly and still over-the-top good.
Blend with ice, then top with rice whip and crushed cookies. Dessert goals, basically.
RECIPE: Gluten-Free Cookies & Cream Frappuccino
19. Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino
Everything you love about a PSL but cold. Made with strong cold brew coffee, milk, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin spice syrup. Optional xanthan gum gives it the Starbucks texture.
It’s blended with ice, then topped with whipped cream and a little spice dusting. Feels festive, but you don’t have to wait for fall.
RECIPE: Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino
20. Mocha Frappuccino
This version keeps it straight and solid. Brewed coffee, chocolate sauce, vanilla extract, milk, and a bougie maple syrup get blended into an icy drink that always hits the spot.
It’s rich without being heavy, and you can dial up the chocolate if you’re in the mood. And yes, you’ll wanna gussy it up with plenty of whipped cream.
