Description

Enjoy a refreshing and healthy Starbucks copycat Sugar-Free Tropical Date & Mango Frappe that’s naturally sweetened with dates and bursting with tropical flavors. This vegan and gluten-free beverage blends frozen mango, creamy coconut milk, and a hint of lime for a deliciously frothy drink perfect for summer or any time you want a guilt-free treat.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen mango chunks
  • 23 pitted Medjool dates
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk (or other plant-based milk)
  • 1/2 cup ice
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt for creaminess


Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients including frozen mango chunks, pitted Medjool dates, unsweetened coconut milk, ice, cold water, vanilla extract, lime juice, and a pinch of sea salt. Optional yogurt can be included if you want a creamier texture.
  2. Combine in Blender: Add the frozen mango, dates, coconut milk, ice, water, vanilla extract, lime juice, and sea salt into the blender. If using, add the yogurt now for extra creaminess.
  3. Blend: Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and frothy, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated and the texture is creamy.
  4. Taste and Adjust: Taste the frappe; if you prefer it sweeter, add an additional date and blend again briefly to mix.
  5. Serve: Pour the frappe into a tall glass and enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use very ripe Medjool dates for the best natural sweetness to replace added sugars.
  • For a colder, thicker frappe, add more ice or use frozen cubes of coconut milk instead of liquid.
  • Substitute pineapple or papaya for mango to vary the tropical flavor profile.
  • This drink is naturally vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free if you omit the optional Greek yogurt or choose a dairy-free alternative.
