Healthy Java Chip Frappuccino recipe.

Bye bye Starbucks. Today on the blog we’re making a copy cat Starbucks java chip frappuccino blended coffee.

Good morning! I hope you’re having an amazing day wherever you are!

Today I wanted to talk a little bit about breakfast. Specifically breakfast ideas that you can take with you, or a breakfast that you can eat or drink on the way to work.

Because I’m that girl that is ALWAYS late. No matter how hard I try or prepare, I am that perpetual late girl. My BFF actually almost bought me a shirt the other day that said, “I hate being late but I’m so good at it.”

So one thing that I’ve done to save time (and money) in the morning is to make my own ice blended coffee aka poor girls frappuccino.

This has been my go to drink for the past few weeks. It gives me the energy I need to get my morning started and it is packed full of protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals to keep me going until it’s snack time.

WHAT IS A FRAPPUCCINO?

A frappuccino is an cold coffee drink. It is coffee that has been blended with ice and other ingredients depending on the flavor. It may come with whipped cream and other toppings like chocolate flakes or caramel sauce.

DO FRAPPUCCINOS HAVE CAFFEINE?

When you order a frappuccino at starbucks, most of them will have caffeine unless you order a creme based frappuccino.

WHAT EXACTLY IS A JAVA CHIP FRAPPUCCINO?

Per Starbucks, they say a Java Chip Frappuccino is made by, “We blend mocha sauce and Frappuccino® chips with coffee and milk and ice, then top with whipped cream and mocha drizzle to bring you endless java joy.”

WHAT IS AN ICE BLENDED COFFEE?

Blended coffee is when you take coffee (hot or cold, but preferably cold) and ice. Place them in a high powered blender, and blend until smooth. You can add in mix ins such as heavy whipping cream, milk, sweeteners, flavors, syrups and much more.

WHAT’S IN A JAVA CHIP FRAP?

JAVA CHIP FRAPPUCCINO RECIPE INGREDIENTS FROM STARBUCK’S WEBSITE:

  • Ice, Milk, Coffee Frappuccino Syrup [Sugar, Water, Salt, Natural And Artificial Flavors, Xanthan Gum, Potassium Sorbate, Citric Acid], Whipped Cream [Cream (Cream, Milk, Mono And Diglycerides, Carrageenan), Vanilla Syrup (Sugar, Water, Natural Flavors, Potassium Sorbate, Citric Acid)], Mocha Sauce [Water, Sugar, Cocoa Processed With Alkali, Vanillin], Frappuccino Chips [Confectionery Coating (Sugar, Palm Kernel And Palm Oils, Cocoa Processed With Alkali, Soy Lecithin, Vanilla, Milk), Cocoa Processed With Alkali, Cookie Crumbs (Unbleached Unenriched Wheat Flour, Sugar, Palm And Palm Kernel Oil, Cocoa Processed With Alkali, Chocolate Mass, Salt, Baking Soda, Soy Lecithin, Natural Flavor), Chocolate Mass (2%), And Salt].

JAVA CHIP FRAPPUCCINO NUTRITION

HOW MANY CALORIES ARE IN A STARBUCKS JAVA CHIP FRAPPUCCINO?

Starbucks java chip frappuccino calories:

  • TALL made with whole milk & topped with whipped cream, 340 calories
  • GRANDE made with whole milk & topped with whipped cream, 470 calories
  • VENTI made with whole milk & topped with whipped cream, 600 calories

If you opt for skim milk instead of whole milk you will reduce the calories slightly (-40 calories on the Venti).

A better way to cut calories on your frappuccino is to order it without whipped cream. On the Venti this will save you 120 calories.

So if you get the Venti Java Chip Fraccuccino without whipped cream and with skim milk it will come to 440 calories vs 600 calories. That’s a difference of 160 calories! To order it this way, ask for a java chip frappuccino light. 

HOW MUCH PROTEIN IS IN A STARBUCKS JAVA CHIP BLENDED COFFEE?

Starbucks java chip frappuccino Protein:

  • TALL made with whole milk & topped with whipped cream, 4g protein
  • GRANDE made with whole milk & topped with whipped cream, 6g protein
  • VENTI made with whole milk & topped with whipped cream, 8g protein

HOW MUCH DOES A JAVA CHIP FRAPPUCCINO COST?

Prices vary depending on locations, but typically you can expect to pay around

  • $4.99 for a Tall Java Chip Frappuccino
  • $5.49 for a Grande Java Chip Frappuccino
  • $5.79 for a Venti Java Chip Frappuccino

Author Lara Clevenger

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups ice
  • 8 oz ice coffee of choice
  • 1 serving Grass-fed whey protein
  • Sweetener of choice I use stevia extract
  • 3 tbsp Whipped Cream made from heavy whipping cream
  • Cacao Nibs

Instructions

Other coffees that I have been loving are FOUR SIGMATIC MUSHROOM COFFEE.

Don’t get freaked out! They don’t taste like mushrooms at all! These coffee’s just give you a little more pep in your step. They have different kinds, some for focus, others for energy, and they even have a hot chocolate.

If you try them you won’t be disappointed! Let me know in the comments if you try them and what you thought about them.

MY OTHER ON-THE-GO BREAKFASTS I LOVE

  • Low Carb Egg Cups
  • Cinnamon Crunch Breakfast Protein Balls
  • Cookies and Cream Fat Bombs

    I really enjoy making fancy coffee drinks at home. There's something so luxurious about enjoying it on my balcony that walking around with Starbucks doesn't do.

    I totally needed this today. Java chip at Starbucks is what I always want to get but I usually end up getting green tea, womp womp. I wish I had all the ingredients right now, perfect for a summer day.
