This is a SERIOUSLY good keto Frappuccino copycat recipe. Good as in “I want to make this every morning for the rest of my life” good. The sweet salted caramel flavor is the star of the show, but just enough coffee flavor peeks through to remind you that you will soon be enjoying the blissful, energy-inducing effects of coffee. Drinking your coffee with Keto Cookies, Keto Fat Bombs, or any of our Keto Breakfast recipes will make your day even sweeter!

What Makes This Keto Frappuccino Copycat So Good

(Other than the flavor, of course!)

If you frequently purchased Frappuccinos from Starbucks in your pre-keto life, you’ll be happy to know that this keto copycat version is not like many of the Frappuccino copycats out there. I initially tried creating this recipe based on the standard recipe variations I saw floating around the internet, and I was not happy at all. Even with my high-powered Vitamix blender, I ended up with a blended liquid and some not-so-tasty ice slush.

Thankfully, I stumbled upon a post by a former Starbucks employee. She said the secret to making a Starbucks-worthy Frappuccino at home is xanthan gum. I am a huge fan of xanthan gum (it is net carb-free and is perfect for thickening smoothies and sauces) so it was a total “a-ha!” moment when I read about it. As soon as I added xanthan gum to the mix, the perfect keto Frappuccino was born!

Other ingredients:

  • Swerve Confectioners Sugar Replacement
  • Xanthan Gum
  • Strongly brewed coffee
  • Unsweetened vanilla almond milk — it has to be vanilla! I’ve tried this with regular almond milk (both plain and with added vanilla extract), and I simply could not replicate the exact flavor.
  • Ice

What Should I Use for Strongly Brewed Coffee?

Here are my suggestions:

  • Any regular coffee, strongly brewed 😉
  • DeathWish Coffee (highly caffeinated), brewed as-is
  • Two teaspoons of instant coffee granules, mixed in 1/3 cup water (they don’t need to be perfectly incorporated since you blend the drink)

What’s Missing from this Keto Frappuccino Copycat?

You may be looking at the photos of this keto coffee treat and thinking there is something missing. If you’re used to buying Frappuccinos at Starbucks, you are absolutely right! When served at Starbucks, Frappuccinos are topped with a yummy layer of whipped cream. Here’s how to do that if you want to:

  • The easiest method: look for canned whipped cream at the store that emphasizes “real cream” or “natural ingredients.” I often use Kroger Extra Creamy Dairy Whipped Topping with Real Cream with 1g net carbs per 2 tbsp.
  • Make your own: follow this Keto Whipped Cream Recipe!

Can I Drink a Frappuccino on a Keto Low Carb Diet?

Yes, you can drink a frappuccino starbucks on a keto and low carb diet! However, you must be certain that you use a low carb sugar that has an acceptably low amount of net carbs in the frappuccino.

How Do I Make a Keto Frappuccino Copycat if I Don’t Have Salted Caramel MCT Oil Powder?

If you want a salted caramel Frappuccino, this is the only way. I haven’t found anything nearly as good as Perfect Keto’s Salted Caramel MCT Oil Powder for infusing the perfect salted caramel flavor into any drink or dessert.

If you have another Perfect Keto MCT Oil Powder flavor, like vanilla or chocolate, you can substitute that 1:1 for the salted caramel flavor.

If you don’t have any Perfect Keto MCT Oil Powder, omit it and add an extra 1 tbsp of Swerve Confectioners (since the MCT oil powder is sweetened). Serve as-is, or flavor as desired with the extract of your choice (to taste).
