Instructions
Let’s dive into the steps to create this irresistibly creamy frappuccino:
Brew the Coffee Start by brewing your coffee or espresso. Let it cool slightly before blending to prevent melting the ice too quickly.

Taste and Adjust Give it a quick taste test—need more sweetness? More chocolate? Adjust as needed before serving.

FAQ’s
1. Can I make this without coffee?
Yes! Swap the coffee for milk or a chocolate milk base for a caffeine-free treat.
2. What’s the best peanut butter to use?
Creamy peanut butter works best for a smooth blend, but natural peanut butter is great too!

It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can blend everything except the ice and freeze it. Just re-blend when ready to drink!
4. Can I make this into a milkshake?
Absolutely! Replace the coffee with milk and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a milkshake twist.
5. How do I make it extra thick?
Use less milk and more ice, or add a frozen banana for a thicker texture.

Use sugar-free chocolate syrup, a sugar-free sweetener, and a natural peanut butter with no added sugar.
8. Can I add protein powder?
Definitely! A scoop of chocolate or peanut butter protein powder makes it a great post-workout drink.
9. What if I don’t have a blender?
You can mix everything by hand and shake it well, but the texture won’t be as smooth.
