This is my favorite healthy pumpkin frappuccino to make at home! You would never guess that it has healthy, natural ingredients in it though because it is so tasty!
The first day of fall is coming up soon, and I am so excited! Fall is such a welcome relief in Texas after all those long, hot 100 degree days. While we don’t experience that autumn crisp for awhile, the days have already gotten more mild.
Fall is full of some many wonderful scents outside and in the kitchen. Baking apples, pumpkin, cinnamon, with a hint of maple is pure heaven in my opinion!
Way before it was cool to like pumpkin spice everything, I was a huge fan of pumpkin flavored treats. I remember making my first pumpkin spice latte at home when I was in college about 10 years ago. I just loved the scent of pumpkin and though it would be fun! We didn’t even have a Starbucks at that time, so making it at home was my only option.
I have been making them at home ever sense. Truth be told, I love these WAY more than Starbucks pumpkin spice lattes. And since it is still hot outside, having a cold coffee is the way to go!
One of my best friends came over last week so we could talk and catch up on life. I love making my friends fresh coffee or tea when they stop by, so I thought I would test these out on her. She was blown away and literally drank it in about 5 minutes! Her exact words were, “This is the best thing I have ever tasted!” lol!
But you can see for yourself 🙂
By the way, you can find more inspiration like this on instagram and our stories!
Healthy Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino At Home
- 3 cups cold brew coffee**
- 2 1/2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 2 tbsp sweetener (I used baking stevia, can use your favorite)
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp maple extract
- In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, almond milk, and spices. Add to some ice cube trays to freeze overnight (this is to make a really creamy frappuccino).
- Depending on the size of your blender, you can make one at a time like I did or do it all at once in a large blender.
- Take half of the frozen pumpkin blend, half of the coffee, 1 tbsp syrup, 1 tbsp sweetener, and blend until smooth.
- Repeat for the other half.
- This serves about two 12 oz portions.
- **Make sure to click my link below for cold brew coffee. You can also use cold leftover coffee.
Chemist Tips & Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino Review
Make sure to read my post on making your own cold brew in the french press. Cold brew is perfect for this recipe! You can also just save some leftover coffee and keep it in the refrigerator for this. It won’t be as strong on coffee flavor, but it will taste just as good!
If you prefer a nice hot pumpkin coffee, you will love these pumpkin maple lattes in the crockpot! I love making these for company or on a nice crisp autumn day!
Okay, so I went to Starbucks the other day to try their pumpkin spice frappuccino. I wanted to give you a review! This version is SO MUCH better to me! It wasn’t as sweet, and honestly had a better flavor. This was more fresh and clean tasting.
Keto Pumpkin Frappuccino Recipe
I had some readers emailing me to see if this could be a keto recipe. I am updating this post to add in a keto version for those who need it. All you need to do is replace the maple syrup with a keto approved sweetener like erythritol.
Other than that, this is very low carb!
What to Do with Leftover Pumpkin
Since this recipe only calls for 1/2 pumpkin, check out these awesome things to do with leftover pumpkin. Read this post to learn how to use pumpkin on your face too!

I totally would if I could! It is so delicious!!! 🙂
Ok, I’m not usually the biggest pumpkin fan but I love a good frappucino so this might be worth a try! Especially since it’s healthy!!! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
You can definitely use less pumpkin for this too. But honestly, it is such a mild flavor, more like a nice spicy fall flavor! And it is so creamy too 🙂
I would love to be able to make this at home! Yum! Can’t wait to try!
If you are a pumpkin spice latte fan…you will LOVE this!!
YUM! Love that it’s healthy and uses almond milk too <3
It is so creamy with the almond milk! 🙂
This sounds and looks delicious! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Gabrielle! It is so delicious 🙂
Oh my that looks so yummy and love the healthy twist on it
Love a good healthy twist on a Frappuccino!
This sounds amazing! Frappuccinos are my favorite thing to get from Starbucks but I don’t even want to know the ingredients plus the price isn’t cheap! I’ll have to try my hand at making some homemade ones…might leave out the pumpkin at first just to get the coffee flavor and go from there.
It is amazing how many chemicals are in the ones from Starbucks! I love making them at home 🙂
Oh my gooooodness does this sound amazing. I love a cold pumpkin drink and bonus for it being healthy!
Me too! Anything healthy is so much better 🙂
This looks so indulgent but is healthy! Love this as my next mid-day pick me up!
It is such a wonderful flavor and so creamy! But good for you, so it’s even better!
Hi Alexis! You know I’m not a coffee drinker, but I sure admire your creativity to create so many different HEALTHY coffee-based drinks! It’s that “mad chemist” in you! 🙂 It’s pumpkin season – I think I may make some pumpkin cornbread muffins…
Pumpkin cornbread muffins sound wonderful! I love pumpkin season 🙂
Not to crazy about pumpkin flavor but this i would try. Thank you Alexis for posting this recipe! – Suzie
You can definitely leave out the pumpkin 🙂
