    Blended Banana Iced Coffee that’s Better than a Frappuccino

    0
    By Contributed on May 2, 2022 Beverages, Breakfast, Dairy-Free Recipes

    You could call it a coffee smoothie, a banana café frappe, or even a dairy-free frappuccino. No matter the name, this cool drink is a delicious option for coffee lovers. And we think it’s better than Starbucks! This dairy-free blended banana iced coffee is made with fresh banana, instead of syrups, uses your favorite brewed coffee, and is even optionally topped with dairy-free chocolate shavings.

    Dairy-Free Blended Banana Iced Coffee that’s Better than a Frappuccino

    This dairy-free blended banana iced coffee or frappe recipe was shared with us by the Dole Food Company. Though we have adapted it slightly. Here are a few more tips to help make this the best coffee frappe for your taste.

    • Frozen Banana Option: In this recipe, the banana is pureed from fresh and then lightly frozen. If you want more of an instant blended banana iced coffee, you can freeze the bananas ahead. Place the frozen bananas in your blender and let them sit for about 5 minutes to soften slightly. Add the milk beverage before you start the blender. If your blended has difficulty, blend in a little of the coffee or some more milk beverage, to help get things moving.
    • Sweetener Options: Powdered sugar creates the most seamless, coffee shop experience, but don’t hesitate to use your favorite coffee sweetener in its place. Most liquid (honey, maple syrup) and granular sweeteners will work quite well.
    • Spice Alternative: Cardamom is a unique and delicious addition to this dairy-free blended banana iced coffee. But I realize not everyone has it in their spice rack. In a pinch, you can substitute ground cinnamon, or use about 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg in its place.
    • Best Milk Beverage: The chefs at Dole like to use unsweetened almond milk in this recipe. But oat milk, coconut milk beverage, coconut milk, or other milky alternative should be delicious. Just use whatever you love in your coffee – it could even be creamer!

    The sweet, partially frozen banana mixture is stirred into the coffee instead of blending everything together. This lets the flavors play off one another rather. Please note that the Prep time is hands-on time only. Allow 1 hour for freezing, or see the instant option in the post above.
