Vanilla Bean Frappuccino

My Vanilla Bean Frappuccino is a kid-friendly take on the classic Starbucks Vanilla Frappuccino, but with a twist: no ice cream needed.

Notes

For a creamier Frappuccino:
  • Use whole milk and full-fat Greek yogurt;
  • Use milk ice cubes (freeze milk using ice trays - it freezes completely after 2-3 hours).
 
For a thicker Frappuccino:
  • Freeze Greek yogurt for 1h before making the recipe.
 
For the best vanilla taste:
  • Use vanilla extract or paste;
  • Use vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt (if using it, as it usually comes with a good amount of sugar, don't add the sugar asked in the recipe or you'll get a very sweet frappe).
