Keto Coffee Frappuccino (Starbucks Copycat)
A Keto Coffee Frappuccino just like Starbucks, but with less than 2 carbs! This is one of the best low-carb coffee drinks EVER!
You guys! I am loving this Keto Coffee Frappuccino. It is just like a Starbucks Coffee Frappuccino but without loads of carbs! I am generally a regular coffee drinker, but sometimes I get a craving for a delicious, creamy, sweet frappuccino.
I have played around with this keto-friendly coffee frappuccino and it is a perfect low-carb frappuccino base recipe, meaning that you can add other flavorings such as cocoa powder, sugar free caramel sauce, mint or vanilla extract or more sweetener if you prefer yours more dessert-like.
Personally, I like mine a bit stronger and enjoy it with something sweet, like my favorite Keto Cheesecake Brownies!
Ingredients Needed for a Keto Frappuccino
This keto coffee drink contains five real ingredients. You can probably guess what they are:
- Strongly brewed coffee
- Unsweetened almond milk
- Heavy cream
- Keto-friendly sweetener (such as Swerve or Monkfruit)
- Vanilla extract
You also need ice and I am not including MCT oil in the recipe because it is not necessary to create a great low-carb coffee drink.
What Type of Coffee Should I Use?
Any kind you like! You can use flavored coffee beans, decaf coffee, you name it.
Can I Omit the Heavy Cream?
You can substitute the heavy cream with additional almond milk, half and half, or even whole milk. However, the coffee frappuccino won’t be as thick and creamy. Also, the carb count listed below may be altered.
How Many Carbs Are in a Coffee Frappuccino?
A 16-ounce blended coffee Frappuccino at Starbucks contains a whopping 50 grams of carbs. That one drink contains nearly 3 days worth of carbs on a keto diet! I don’t know about you, but those numbers really blow my mind!
My 16-ounce Keto Coffee Frappuccino contains less than 2 carbs. It is crazy the difference that some simple ingredient swaps can make.
How to Make a Coffee Frappuccino
Not only is this keto frappuccino super low it carbs, but it is also very easy to make! Simply add all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
Can I Prep Frappuccinos in Advance?
A few readers have asked if they can prep a big batch of this copycat Starbucks coffee frappuccino and store leftovers in the fridge for later. I don’t recommend doing that, as the ice will melt and you’ll lose the unique frappuccino consistency.
Can This Recipe Be Made Without a Blender?
Unfortunately, no. You need to have a blender of some kind to make this keto frappuccino recipe. Do NOT try to make it in a food processor, that will likely ruin your machine.
Tips for Making a Keto Coffee Frappuccino
- If you want to increase your fat intake, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of MCT oil to your drink before you blend.
- This is a great base recipe if you want to add other flavors, such as sugar-free caramel syrup, more sweetener, cocoa powder, etc.
- Make sure your coffee is completely chilled before adding it to the blender, otherwise your ice may melt.
- I use either brown sugar swerve or confectioners swerve to make this keto-friendly coffee frappuccino and both work great!

This is definitely easier on my wallet by making it at home. Thank you!
What a great way to start my day! And save money too; love this drink!
Everyone who has tried this absolutely loves it. It’s so good!
So great to be able to enjoy something that tastes indulgent that’s actually keto – score!
This Keto Coffee Frappuccino couldn’t look any more perfect!
Yum! Everyone in my family will appreciate this frappuccino in one of these cold afternoons!
This is awesome! I have my coffee frap back.
This is delicious! I used monk fruit instead and added cinnamon on top. Yummy
Which swerve do you use?
I’ve used confectioners and brown and both work great.
I used coconut cream instead of almond milk…delicious!
QUESTION
Can you make a few up in advance and put in the fridge? They are so good!
Very Delicious! Glad I found a keto friendly version of a frappe. Definitely will be making this again!!!
This drink is absolutely delicious and the perfect thing to make in the morning to replace a Starbucks run, or in the evening after dinner to kick dessert cravings in the butt! Absolutely delicious and stupidly easy! I’ve shared this with family and friends and I know coffee shops have lost business because of it!
This was creamy and very tasty. I must be adding something up wrong. 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream is typically 4g of carbs and 1 tsp of vanilla is typically 1g carbs. That’s already 5g carbs. Can you explain how it’s 2 carbs? Appreciated!
Hi Barbara, thanks I’m glad you enjoyed this. I double checked and my heavy cream has less than 2 net carbs for this recipe and no carbs in my vanilla extract. Of course every recipe will be different based on the brands you use.
Ohhhh, I will be searching for a cream and vanilla like that as I love this!!
For my coffee base in this I use Starbucks cold brew coffee concentrate (unsweeened) which is available at Walmart. Trader Joes also makes a good one. Delish.
This is absolutely amazing!! I added a splash of sugar free Torani caramel syrup as well.
It is Delish!!Thank you?
Saved my Nespresso coffee maker from getting dusty!! I love it!
I personally suggest you blend up all the ingredients minus the ice and store the mixture and the ice separately (the ice goes in the freezer obviously). When you’re ready to serve, blend the mixture with the ice .
Wonderful. I plan to make it with coconut cream and Stevia drops. Erythitall bothers my tummy
This sounds amazing! I was going to sub monk fruit sweetener.
Came out so so so Gud
Thx❤️???
This is absolutely delicious! I have no idea as to how it compares to a Starbucks Frap as I’ve never had one. I added some flavored protein powder to the recipe, chocolate for hubby and vanilla for me. I like to add allulose as a sweetener. I mix everything up in advance except the ice and store them in the fridge in quart mason jars. It’s easy to pour out a cupful, add 3/4 cup crushed ice, then blend. It’s perfect for these hot, humid summer days.
This is delicious and satisfying
