I still remember the first time I walked into a coffee shop as a complete newbie and feeling totally dumbfounded as to what to order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My choice in the colder months was hot chocolate <\/a>– obviously. But once summer hit, I ventured into blended frozen drink territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enter: my love for the frappuccino.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Almond<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I don’t order frappuccinos anymore at coffee shops. As I’ve said before<\/a>, they have enough calories and sugar to sink a boat and I’m honestly more into almond milk lattes and straight up drip coffee these days. But every once in a while, when a craving for something cold and indulgent strikes, this is the first thing I reach for. And I can make it way<\/em> more healthy (and dairy free) at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Cold Brew Caramel Frappuccino is adapted from one of the very first recipes on the blog – my Cold Brew Mocha Frappe<\/a>. Almond milk ice cubes create a creamy base, cold brew coffee injects a jet-fuel surge of caffeine and bold coffee flavor, and dates pur\u00e9ed into caramel<\/a> add a sweet caramel finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s right. Just 3 ingredients, 1 blender, <\/strong>and 5 minutes<\/strong> (minus prep for ice cubes and coffee) to make this dreamy, creamy homemade frappuccino.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Naturally-sweetened<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

While your cold brew coffee is doing its thing, make your date caramel. See my in-depth tutorial here<\/a> that also includes 1,000,000 ideas for how to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, make it, love it, always have it on hand. End of story.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Blender<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

When your almond milk ice cubes are completely frozen, add them to a blender with your cold brew coffee and blend into creamy, dreamy bliss.<\/p>\n\n\n

Then add as much date caramel as you’d like to sweeten things up and infuse caramel flavor into the mix. Mmm, I’ll take three, please.

Make this frappuccino for a special morning treat before work. Do what you gotta do to get through the work day – no judgment here. Or, save this as a special treat for lazy weekend mornings (especially when summer is at its peak).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
