Banana Caramel Frappé

Millie Pham

There’s nothing better than a cold, creamy frappé on a warm day—especially one with caramel and bananas!

This Banana Caramel Frappé is rich, frosty, and perfectly sweet, with a hint of vanilla.

It’s a treat the whole family will love, and you only need a few simple ingredients.

Plus, it’s way cheaper (and even tastier) than grabbing one at a coffee shop.

Let’s blend up something delicious!

Ingredients:

  • 1 large ripe banana, sliced and frozen
  • 1 cup milk (whole, oat, or almond)

Pro Tips

Use frozen bananas – This makes the frappé thick and creamy without needing extra ice. If you don’t have frozen bananas, add more ice.
Adjust the sweetness – Taste before serving! If it’s not sweet enough, add more caramel or a bit of honey.
Blend in stages – Start slow to break up the ice, then blend on high for a smooth, creamy texture.
Make it extra special – A drizzle of caramel inside the glass before pouring makes it look fancy (and extra delicious).
Kid-friendly fun – Let the kids top theirs with extra whipped cream, sprinkles, or chocolate chips!

Leftovers & Storage

Since this is a frozen drink, it’s best enjoyed right away! But if you have leftovers, you can:
❄️ Freeze it in an ice cube tray, then re-blend with a little milk later.
❄️ Keep it in the fridge for a few hours (it will melt but still taste great—just shake before drinking!).
