Sugar Free Starbucks Vanilla Latte Frappuccino Recipe
A few weeks ago I splurged at Starbucks and got a Breve Frappuccino with SF Vanilla syrup. I don’t normally get the sugar free syrups since they use Splenda and I prefer natural sweeteners. But it was SO good. I’ve been wanting another one since then. I began playing around with making a healthy vanilla latte concentrate.
This frappuccino recipe is low carb, keto, and really does rival my sugar free Starbucks treat. Keep reading for my homemade iced vanilla latte and frappuccino recipe.
How To make a Sugar Free Starbucks Vanilla Latte or Frappuccino
I make one base with heavy cream, almond milk, sweetener, coffee, and vanilla. Once that it made you can tweak it to a latte or frappuccino by the amount of additional almond milk and ice you add.
You can tweak this to be different flavors by omitting the vanilla in favor of cinnamon or another extract.
Iced Latte vs Frappuccino
Latte:
1 part concentrate
1 to 1.5 parts almond milk, to taste
coffee ice cubes (highly recommended – just freeze coffee in an ice cube tray)
Example: 6 oz concentrate plus 8 oz of almond milk over a few frozen coffee ice cubes
Frappuccino:
1 part concentrate
1/2 part almond milk
coffee ice cubes and regular ice cubes
pinch of xanthan gum, optional (it helps keep the drink from separating)
Example: 8 oz concentrate plus 4 oz almond milk blended with 6 coffee ice cubes, 6 regular ice cubes, and a pinch of xanthan gum

Terry says
I might have missed it but what kind of concentrate does it use? thank you
Taryn says
You make the concentrate. It’s the combination of cream, sweetener, etc.
Diana says
Any other milk beside almond? Severely allergic to almonds – would coconut milk work? Thanks!
Taryn says
Yes, I’d use the carton coconut milk.
JaSi says
You are a LIFESAVER!!! I’ve tried so many recipes that just didn’t even come close to my blended scooter’s and this is AMAZING!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Stacey says
Haven’t tried yet, but it looks yummy. What if you used other flavorings? Peppermint? My daughters favorite is Pumpkin, how would you alter this to make it pumpkin flavored? Thanks in advance
Taryn says
Yes, you can definitely use other flavors. I think pumpkin flavored coffee tastes less like pumpkin and more like the spices you use in pumpkin pie. I’d try a combo of nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla.
Vf says
Hi thanks for sharing your recipes.is it better to use powdered erythitol or will the granular one dissolve ok?
Taryn says
I normally just use granular. It does dissolve when well mixed. If you prefer powdered that’s fine too.
Sandi says
What do you mean by “1 part concentrate”? How much is 1 part?
Taryn says
That depends on if you want a grande or a venti 😉 I give examples in the recipe box. For a latte, you basically want the same amount of concentrate and almond milk. 8 oz of each (or more or less). For a frappuccino, you use more of the concentrate since you are blending ice into it.
Alisha says
This is wonderful. Can you explain how many carbs are counted for this drink if I do 1 1/2 cup almond milk and 1/2 cup mixture?
Taryn says
The base mix has 1 carb for 1/2 cup and the almond milk should also have 1 carb for 1.5 cups. Just check your almond milk to be sure.
Alisha says
So we do not count the carbs in the sweeteners if they are on plan? Sorry, just making sure I understand.
Taryn says
Yes, the carbs in these sweeteners are sugar alcohols which the body does not absorb.
Megan says
Just made this. Very delicious! Would this be an S or a FP? Thanks
Taryn says
S since it has cream in it.
