Healthy Homemade Vanilla Bean Frappuccino
When you’re craving Starbucks but don’t have the time (or patience) to stand in line and would rather go for something healthy, make this Healthy Homemade Vanilla Bean Frappuccino! It’s thick, sweet and creamy, yet refined sugar free, low carb, low fat, high protein, high fiber, and keto-friendly too.
Yes, seriously.
This Vanilla Bean Frappuccino recipe is jam-packed with fresh vanilla bean flavor, but don’t worry, it’s not jam-packed with unhealthy ingredients.
Unlike the Starbucks® version and other homemade versions, this homemade Frappuccino is rich and sweet without the ice cream, condensed milk, granulated white sugar, or artificially flavored syrups.
And it’s super easy to make too, with only 6 ingredients!
BOOM.

- ¾ tsp Vanilla Creme-Flavored Stevia Extract
- 1 tbs Homemade Metamucil

As a comparison, here is the nutrition label for a Starbucks® Vanilla Bean Frappuccino.
WHAT?! 400 calories vs. 190 calories?! I’ll take mine… and maybe BOTH servings while we’re at it *super embarrassing happy dance* 😉
This Homemade Vanilla Bean Frappuccino recipe doesn’t have any added sugar (all the sugar is naturally occurring from the yogurt). It sure tastes like a sinfully delicious milkshake… yet secretly healthy. AKA the best kind of milkshake!

Indulge − no strings attached!
yum- i cannot wait to make this!! thank you so much!
I usually just leave my frappuccinos up to Starbucks because every-time I try to recreate one at home it turns out a disaster. In saying that though, this vanilla bean frappuccino looks pretty perfect.. and it’s healthy too?! A recipe I need to try!
My husband would love this!! Can’t wait to try it out!
do you have to use the homemade metamucil powder for this to turn out right? Thanks for all your hard work recreating healthy versions of the not so healthy desserts. 🙂
Kelly-
The psyllium almost instantly creates a thicker and creamier texture, so I wouldn’t recommend omitting it. However, if you don’t want to use it you can omit it and decrease the milk to 1 cup and decrease the stevia to ~1/2 teaspoon 😀

Hi, I’m using this recipe for a school project and I was wondering what the serving size was?
I didn’t measure out each serving, but it was enough to fill two large glasses 🙂
For each, I mean?
But there is agave syrup in the paste, right, so how can you say this is free of sugar? Doesn’t seem right…thanks.
If you saw the vanilla paste post, you’d see that I provided a sugar free substitute for the agave. Also, ½ tsp of vanilla paste for the entire recipe is almost negligible. But if you have a problem with that, make the sugar free vanilla paste 🙂
