Ingredients for Copycat Starbucks Strawberry Frappuccino
- 1 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- ½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy, both work!)
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 cup ice
- 2 tbsp strawberry syrup (for that extra burst of flavor)
- Whipped cream and sliced strawberries for topping

Step-by-Step Instructions With Pictures

Pour the milk into a blender, then toss in the strawberries. Add honey and ice.

Blend everything until the texture is thick, icy, and creamy.

Drizzle strawberry syrup into the serving glass— it creates a gorgeous ripple effect.

Carefully pour the blended drink into your glass over the syrup base.
Add a generous swirl of whipped cream and a few slices of strawberry on top for that classic frappuccino finish. Enjoy it cold with a straw, and don’t forget to snap a picture before that whipped cream melts!

Tips for the Best Strawberry Frappuccino
- Use Frozen Strawberries: For a thicker, colder texture without needing extra ice.
- Chill the Glass: Pop your glass in the freezer for a few minutes before pouring for a frosty effect.
- Sweeten to Taste: Add more honey or syrup if you like things sweeter.
- Dairy-Free Friendly: Use oat, almond, or coconut milk for a vegan version.
- Blend in Extras: Try a scoop of vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt for a richer flavor.

Serving Ideas
- Afternoon Cool Down: The perfect sip on a warm day.
- Weekend Brunch Treat: Serve it alongside pancakes or a fruit salad.
- Party-Ready Drink: Make a big batch and pour into mini cups for a sweet gathering.
- With a Cookie: Pair it with shortbread or sugar cookies for coffee shop vibes at home.
- Fun for Kids: Your kids will love the creamy “fancy” drink on a hot day, too.

Recipe Variations to Try
- Vegan Swap: Use maple syrup instead of honey and top with coconut whipped cream.
- Berry Blend: Mix in raspberries or blueberries for a twist.
- Chocolate Strawberry: Add a drizzle of chocolate syrup to the glass for a dessert-style drink.
- Protein Boost: Blend in a scoop of vanilla protein powder to make it more filling.
- Extra Creamy: Replace half the milk with heavy cream or half-and-half for a decadent sip.

Storage and Leftovers
- Best Served Fresh: This frappuccino is meant to be enjoyed right after blending.
- If You Must Store: You can store the blended mix in the fridge for a few hours, but the texture may separate. Stir or re-blend with a bit of ice before serving.
