You might’ve noticed I’ve been following a frappuccino trend lately. And if you’re anything like me, there’s something incredibly satisfying about making your favorite Starbucks drinks at home, and saving a little money while you’re at it.

In this roundup, I’m sharing 7 of my all-time favorite Homemade Frappuccino Recipes, including classics like the Caramel and Java Chip, plus a few fun twists like the Caramel Ribbon Crunch and even my go-to Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso (okay, technically not a frappuccino—but too good to leave out!). Whether you’re blending up something for a sunny afternoon or just looking for a sweet pick-me-up, these copycat recipes are easy to make and taste even better than the real thing. Let’s get started, we’ve got drinks to blend!

Note: These Frappuccinos will ALL have recipe videos that I have created… Just so you know I’m not a robot 🙂

Top 7 Best Frappuccino Recipes

I am including this list in order of my family favorites, but you can’t go wrong with any of these. I’ve made each one and most have a fun video recipe to help you follow along. I have crafted these recipes to make 1 standard serving size of 16 oz, so you can alter the recipe accordingly to make more or less. I also will have links for each one to take you to their full recipe page, where you can see even more detail!

FRAPPUCCINO RECIPE #7: VANILLA BEAN FRAPPUCCINO

Those of you that are regular Lone Goose Bakery readers or customers know how much I LOVE vanilla. There is a reason why we sell so many vanilla products.

This Vanilla Bean Frappuccino is one of those drinks that proves simple doesn’t have to mean boring. It’s smooth, creamy, and packed with real vanilla flavor, kind of like a milkshake, but much easier to make at home. I love this one because you don’t need anything fancy, just a few basic ingredients and a blender. If you’re looking for a refreshing treat that both kids and adults will love, this one’s always a hit.

FRAPPUCCINO RECIPE #6: JAVA CHIP FRAPPUCCINO

The Homemade Java Chip Frappuccino is my go-to when one of us want something that feels a little extra. It’s rich, chocolatey, and has that perfect blend of coffee and sweet crushed chocolate chips in every sip. I like to think of it as a mocha frappuccino with a chocolate chip boost… and yes, it’s just as good as it sounds. This Java Chip gives you the fun texture from the chocolate chips and that familiar Starbucks flavor without ever leaving the house. If you’re in the mood for something with extra chocolate (without the coffee shop price tag), this one totally fits the bill.

FRAPPUCCINO/ESPRESSO RECIPE #5: BROWN SUGAR SHAKEN ESPRESSO

Ok, I really did go back and forth before I finally decided to include this recipe. It isn’t technically a frappuccino, but I thought it would help mix this list up a bit. Plus, the brown sugar shaken espresso is one of my favorites out of the cold and frozen coffee drinks. This recipe is bold, slightly sweet, and super smooth. I love how the brown sugar and cinnamon mix with the espresso to give it this warm, almost caramel-like depth. One of the best parts is that it takes just a few minutes and a good shake to pull it all together. If you want something a bit more unique, check out this recipe. Shaking the ingredients also gives you an extra bonus workout 🙂

FRAPPUCCINO RECIPE #4: MOCHA FRAPPUCCINO

Do you like chocolate? This mocha frappuccino is a total classic! It has earned its popularity: It’s cool, creamy, and packed with rich chocolate flavor that pairs perfectly with the espresso/coffee base. I always say it’s like a grown-up chocolate milkshake with just the right amount of caffeine kick. Plus, it’s ridiculously easy to make at home with a blender and a few simple ingredients. If you’re a chocolate lover or just want a solid go-to frappuccino, this one never disappoints.

FRAPPUCCINO RECIPE #3: STRAWBERRY FRAPPUCCINO

The Homemade Strawberry Frappuccino is pure sunshine in a glass. It’s fruity, refreshing, and so easy to blend up with just a handful of simple ingredients. I love using real strawberries to get that vibrant color and fresh flavor, no artificial coloring needed. This one’s perfect for warm days, sweet cravings, or when you want something fun that the whole family can enjoy. Honestly, I describe the taste like a strawberry milkshake and a smoothie had a delicious little frappuccino baby, but maybe that is another reason why people think I’m weird 🙂

FRAPPUCCINO RECIPE #2: CARAMEL FRAPPUCCINO

The homemade Caramel Frappuccino is everything you want in a sweet, blended drink. It is creamy, smooth, and loaded with buttery caramel flavor. It’s one of those recipes that feels like a treat but is super simple to make with ingredients you probably already have. I love drizzling a little extra caramel on top (because why not?), and every sip gives that perfect mix of coffee and sweetness. If you’re a caramel fan, this one’s going to be one of you’re favorites as well.

Due to several requests from readers, I also have included how to upgrade it to an Ultra Caramel Frappuccino. You can see all the details on my Homemade Caramel Frappuccino Recipe Post.

FRAPPUCCINO RECIPE #1: CARAMEL RIBBON CRUNCH

This is one of my most recent videos and recipe posts, and I am glad I made the Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino! The first time I saw this frappuccino on the Starbucks menu, I honestly thought the name was crazy. Fast forward a few weeks, and it has earned its spot as the #1 favorite frappuccino on this list. This was a family decision, and everyones opinion counted. This should make you feel more confident, you’re not just relying on me.

It is very similar to the caramel frappuccino that earned the #2 position, but it has the bonus crunch that takes it over the top. I’ve learned that you can use crushed up pieces of cookie to create the crunch, but we love to add the sweet and salty flavor of heath bar toffee pieces (available at any grocery store bakery section). I enjoy making this one at home because I can really load up as much caramel and heath bar pieces as I want, and the rest of the family can as well. The caramel ribbon crunch frappuccino is basically a caramel lover’s dream come true. It’s sweet, fun, and just a little bit over-the-top in the best way. If you want a frappuccino that feels extra special, this is the one that I recommend.
