One of my favorite drinks is the Matcha Green Tea Frappuccino at Starbucks. But, frankly, I’m not always there when I want one. So, I figured out how to make one at home!

I’m not saying that I will never buy another Matcha Green Tea Frappuccino from the big SB, but, frankly, getting two kids in the car to drive the 10 blocks to my local barista is, well, a whip if that’s all we’re planning to do.

Sometimes, I just want one and I’d like to stay home. And that’s ok.

Sure, I could call an uber to go pick one up, but why bother when it’s SO SIMPLE to make a matcha frappuccino at home?!

What You Need to Make this Matcha Green Tea Frappuccino

Who knew that learning how to make a Matcha Green Tea Frappuccino would end up being so little effort?!

Seriously, here’s what I used:

glass bowls of ice, cream, sugar, vanilla bean paste, match green tea powder and an immersion blender on a white table

It’s just:

  • 4 cups ice
  • 4 tblspn Matcha Green Tea Powder 
  • 1 tspn vanilla bean paste 
  • 2 cups milk or cream
  • 3 tblspn sugar
  • White Chocolate for garnish

Step 3

Top with white chocolate chunks. Or whipped cream. Maybe some melted white chocolate with whipped cream. 

Or not. Just stick with the white chocolate chunks. I mean, it’s a matcha frappuccino, after all, not a white chocolate frappuccino. LOL!

Step 4

Grab a seat and enjoy!

Seriously. That’s it.

In all seriousness, this Unicorn Frappuccino recipe is way different than I initially expected. See, this was another demand from my tiny humans.

Because when they found out I was making Starbucks copycat frappuccinos, well, they made a list.

But I’d heard the unicorn frappuccino was not, erhm, yummy.

Boy were those naysayers wrong. 

It’s like having a snow cone or a frozen candy and it’s absolutely delicious. 

So take that, naysayers!

  • 4 cups milk or cream
  • 4 tblspn sugar

Step 5

Step 6

Split the ice mixture into two bowls. Add blue food coloring to one bowl and stir well. Repeat with the pink food coloring for the other portion.

We were getting ready for a Harry Potter movie night and the kids asked me to make a Butterbeer Frappuccino. And so we whipped this awesome treat up and WOW was it good!

I think my kids were a little bit genius asking for this Butterbeer Frappuccino. It’s so smooth and creamy, the toffee on top is a dream. 

Seriously, I wish I’d though of it sooner, because it tastes way better than any of the other frappucino recipes I’ve made recently–or ever had at Starbucks. 

You have to try it, if you’re at all into Harry Potter snacks and treats. It’s so worth the 5 minutes it takes to put together.

What You Need to Make this Butterbeer Frappuccino

And when I say 5-minutes, I mean it. 

This Harry Potter drink idea is super fast and the kids can help–mine did.

Here’s what I used to make it:

  • 4 cups ice
  • 4 tblspn butterscotch sauce (or melted butterscotch chips, melted)
  • 1 tspn vanilla bean paste
  • 2 cups milk or cream
  • 3 tblspn sugar
  • 2 tblspn butterscotch sauce for garnish
  • 2 tblspn crushed toffee for garnish

The hardest part for me was parting with the butterscotch sauce. I like to put it on my ice cream sometimes. But…this is a better use for it. LOL!

How to Make this Butterbeer Frappuccino

Step 1

Combine milk, sugar, vanilla bean paste and butterscotch sauce. Stir to combine. Yes, my kids insisted that I use the “butterbeer sugar”. No, it’s nothing special. Just yellow sanding sugar. So, yellow sugar. Sigh. Kids are so funny.

Step 2

Add butterscotch milk mixture to ice.

Step 3

Blend. Which is easy enough. I have this awesome immersion blender that makes for perfect frappuccinos every time. If you don’t have an immersion blender–get one. They rock.

Step 4

One of my favorite drinks at Starbucks is their Caramel Frappuccino Recipe. I could literally have two a day and never get tired of them.

So I figured out how to make one at home and it’s so similar–but also, in many ways, better. Let’s get started.

When I decided to embark on the effort of figuring out how to make a Caramel Frappuccino, I didn’t realize how simple it would really be.

I mean, I watch the baristas at Starbucks, sure. And I know that it takes them less than 5 minutes to whip-up one of my favorite frozen drinks, but I had no idea I could recreate that at home…I mean, surely there’s some magic there?

Nope.

No magic–just awesomely tasty and super few ingredients–I had no idea.

What is a Caramel Frappuccino?

For those of you who aren’t quite sure what a caramel frappuccino is, Starbucks describes it as “caramel syrup meets coffee, milk and ice…while whipped cream and buttery caramel sauce layer the love on top.”

Sounds devilish, right? Exactly.

It’s basically liquid dessert which is why I decided to own that in my version and omit the coffee altogether. Trust me, you don’t want to start your day out with a sugar rush like this!

Instead, enjoy it in place of dessert. For most of us, that’s going to be later in the day. Don’t worry — if you really want the caffeinated version, I’ll share my tip on how to work the coffee back in.

What You Need

Because, seriously, this is all I used to make this awesome caramel flavored frappuccino:

  • 4 cups ice
  • 4 tablespoons caramel sauce 
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • 2 cups milk or cream
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons caramel sauce for garnish

Yeah, and the execution? Just as simple.

How to Make a Caramel Frappuccino

Step 1

Combine milk, sugar, vanilla bean paste and caramel sauce. Stir to combine.

Step 2

Add caramel milk mixture to ice.

Step 3

Blend. Now, this sounds simple enough, but you want to blend really well. I used my trusty immersion blender. Cheap little workhorse makes perfectly crushed ice for frappuccinos every time.

Step 4

Rim glass with caramel sauce.

Step 5

Pour blended mixture into glass. No tricks here, just get ready.

Step 6

Kick your feet back and enjoy!

For those of you who want the caffeine kick on top of the sugar rush, substitute one cup of strong coffee for one of the cups of milk. Everything else is the same.

Now, when I say that this Vanilla Bean Frappuccino recipe is simple, I am not kidding.

When you pull up to the barista’s window at the drive-thru (because, guess what–I am NOT getting out of the car with the kids and then all THAT mess, no I’m driving through) and have to wait forever for your Vanilla Bean frappuccino, it’s not because it takes forever to make.

No, it’s because the guy in front of you (or in line on the inside of the store) has ordered some complicated monstrosity with chocolate chips and cinnamon on top.

You, on the other hand, have ordered the world’s most simple treat ever.
