This Copycat Mocha Frappuccino is going to put you in heaven. Coffee and Chocolate blended to make a truely awesome cold beverage! Does it get any better than this? I needed to do some last minute Easter shopping on Saturday so Cierra and I set out a do some shopping at Meijer. After finishing up shopping with all the other last minute crazies, we dropped in Starbucks. I was seriously craving a yummy Starbucks drink. Normally I will whip up my CopyCat Starbucks Strawberries & Cream Frap or maybe even a CopyCat Starbucks Passion Tea Lemonade during the spring months.

Copycat Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino

I decided to switch up my order this time. I was craving chocolate (yes, I have that craving a bit too often, ha ha). I decide to order a Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino. I am a HUGE coffee fanatic and was needing some energy so the drink sounded perfect. Chocolate and coffee, what a great combo.

I watched my barista make my drink from start to finish. My Starbucks addiction can get so costly that I now like to now exactly what is in the drink so I can enjoy my own copycat versions at home. Homemade Starbucks always saves me a bundle, especially during the summer months. Last summer, I made so many CopyCat Starbucks Caramel Frappuccinos that my entire house was ready for something new, lol.

The ingredients to make a homemade Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino are super simple. You most likely have the ingredients on hand. The drink starts with a nice STRONG Coffee. I used my Starbucks French Roast K-Cups. You can also add in Xanthan Gum to help with the separation. You can find Xanthan Gum at most grocery stores in the healthy/organic section. One bag has lasted me FOREVER. You can also hop on over to Amazon and purchase Bob’s Red Mill Gum Xanthan too!

INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup Espresso Coffee
1/4 cup Sugar
1 cup Milk
1/2 cup Dark Chocolate Syrup
Pinch Xantham Gum (optional)

Starbucks drinks are so simple to make at home and they will certainly save you a bundle of cash. Making my own homemade Starbucks at home has really saved us.

I had this batch of CopyCat Starbucks Mocha Frappuccinos whipped up in just a few minutes time.

My daughter enjoyed the whole pitcher while we were working yesterday. The chocolate and coffee were a great boost of energy during our work day. I look forward to making quite a few batches this summer. Fraps are so refreshing.
