Copycat Starbucks Strawberry Frappuccino
Frappucinos are iced, blended drinks trademarked by Starbucks that can be made with or without coffee. You can even buy frappuccinos at most grocery stores and convenience stores. But, why wait in line or even leave your house to enjoy this copycat Starbucks Strawberry Frappuccino. It’s easy to make at home so you can enjoy the refreshing beverage anytime!
Strawberry Frappuccino Ingredients
Strawberries: It all starts with fresh strawberries for this recipe. To prepare the strawberries, be sure to wash them thoroughly and gently pat them dry. After you have washed the strawberries, remove the leafy green parts of the berries.
This is called ‘hulling’ the strawberries. Instead of simply cutting off the tops straight across, insert a sharp knife at an angle and rotate the strawberry in a circle until the stem pulls out. If using frozen strawberries, let them thaw in a colander and pat them dry before pureeing.
Milk: Whole milk will give you the creamiest drink; but, you could definitely use any milk you have on hand. For a drink with fewer calories, use skim milk or 1% milk.
Strawberry Syrup: For the best strawberry flavor, make your own strawberry simple syrup!
Whipped Cream: This drink is topped off with whipped cream, or cool whip. Make your own homemade whipped cream to use.
Can I Make this Caffeinated?
Absolutely! The traditional strawberry frappuccino from Starbucks is not caffeinated, however, you could easily add a shot of espresso to your frappuccino for a boost!
