Do your kids beg for a Starbucks Vanilla Bean Frappuccino every time you go like mine do? Ugh. And those things are like $4/each!

Being a homeschooler I quickly figured out that $4.00 x 4 kids = way more than I want to spend on drinks!

Since Iā€™m a softy and have a hard time saying no, we decided to come up with our own recipe so we could make them at home and save about a zillion dollars.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of ice
  • 1 1/2 cups of milk (We used whole, but half-n-half is great too!)
  • 1 T. Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup (You can add another tablespoon if you like.)
  • 3 large scoops vanilla bean ice cream
  • 1/2 tsp sugar (can omit)
  • A blender
  • Optional: Whipped Cream topping

 

Directions:

Blend and top with whipped Cream!

BAM! Just like that I saved myself about $16 by making them myself! Yipee!

If itā€™s still not sweet enough you can add in a tablespoon of sugar, but we didnā€™t think it needed it.

You can also add in a scoop of vanilla ice cream, but again, the flavoring and ice were enough for us so weā€™re keeping it simple.

And thatā€™s it.

Hmmā€¦

I think that was one of the shortest posts Iā€™ve ever written.

But no joke people! Thatā€™s about how long it took to make four smiling faces and four Vanilla Bean Frappuccino’s!

Hope you enjoy!
