Pro Tips
✅ Use full-fat coconut milk for the creamiest texture! Light coconut milk works but won’t be as rich.
✅ Sift the matcha before blending to prevent clumps in your drink.
✅ Adjust the sweetness to your liking—honey, maple syrup, or even a sugar-free option works great.
✅ Toast the shredded coconut in a dry pan for extra flavor and crunch!
✅ Want extra froth? Blend for an extra 10 seconds to get that perfect, creamy texture.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Add Coconut Milk, Ice, and Matcha to Blender
Pour the chilled coconut milk into a blender. Add ice cubes and matcha powder.
2. Add Honey and Vanilla Extract
Drizzle honey into the blender, followed by a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
3. Blend Until Smooth and Frothy
Blend on high speed for 30–40 seconds until the mixture is smooth, frothy, and well combined.
4. Pour Into a Glass
Carefully pour the blended frappuccino into a tall glass.
5. Top with Whipped Cream and Toasted Coconut
Add a swirl of whipped cream, then sprinkle on toasted shredded coconut for a finishing touch.
