Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
- 2–3 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
- 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.
- 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.
- Blend: Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and frothy, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated and the texture is creamy.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the frappe; if you prefer it sweeter, add an additional date and blend again briefly to mix.
- 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.
