Homemade Double chocolate chip frappuccino | Kids Drinks | Summer Drinks | Healthy, homemade, frugal drinks that your kids will love

I am to blame for my kids’ addiction. There’s no doubt about it!

I love coffee. The aroma and taste, and when I was pregnant I gave up on the dark stuff for a while. I did end walking by a coffee shop as often as I could to get a whiff of the good stuff. Now I work from home and that really means I end up with my laptop at my neighbourhood coffee shop way more than I should. Thankfully they have decent wi-fi and even better coffee.

It was all working out really well till I found out there was a coffee shop near my kids’ school too.

The weather started to warm up and our downhill slide was sneaky. It started one Friday after school, “Would you like a coffee, Mom?” Did I mention, sneaky!!

And now that summer is in full swing it’s “Mom, can we please get a double chocolate-chip frappuccino from your coffee shop, puhleeeeeze!”

Like any other middle-class mother with a frugal soul I knew I could make it healthier AND homemade. So that’s what this is – a healthier and economical version of the Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino. It’s as good as as the original, I have my kids’ stamp of approval!

  • As you blend leave the chocolate chips for the end so they remain a little chunky. The kids think that’s more authentic. I personally prefer the mixture to be smooth and well blended.
  • I have seen a number of recipes online that use tons more chocolate chips, sugar, chocolate syrup etc. I really think you don’t need it. I promised homemade AND healthy! 
  •  I have switched the milk in this recipe for lactose-free and it tastes just as good and my hubby can enjoy it.
