This caramel ribbon crunch frappuccino is a copycat recipe of the popular Starbucks blended beverage! Affordable, delicious, and secretly low carb! Show
I love giving keto makeovers to some of my favorite Starbucks beverages. My favorites include a pink drink, classic frappuccino, and this caramel ribbon crunch frappuccino. Coffee is something I enjoy on a daily basis, but the blended beverages are ones I enjoy only on special occasions. It’s partly due to the ridiculous price tags attached to them (most Starbucks blended beverages start from five dollars for their smallest size!) but mostly due to their high calories and sugar content. Now, I’m not someone who vilifies calorie-dense foods or sugar, but it’s not something I choose to enjoy on a regular basis. Especially since I’ve started following a keto diet, I’ve had to navigate this habit and make my own. What is in the caramel ribbon crunch frappuccino?Starbuck’s caramel ribbon crunch frappuccino is caramel syrup blended with coffee, milk, ice, and then topped with more caramel, whipped cream, and crunchy caramel sugar on top. Now, all these ingredients can be easily made at home and even better- made low carb! This homemade caramel ribbon crunch frappuccino recipe is a keto version of the original. It looks and tastes exactly like the inspiration, but tastes so much better and is healthier to boot. No refined sugar and no dairy are needed, but you’d never tell. It’s perfectly smooth and creamy with bursts of creamy caramel throughout. Although this isn’t something I make on a consistent basis, it’s much cheaper and healthier than if I had bought it at Starbucks, and it is SO easy to make!
