Healthier S’mores Frappe Inspired by Starbucks (Dairy-Free)

Tweet

I have a confession to make. I USED to have an unhealthy obsession with the Starbucks s’mores frappuccino (I emphasize USED to only to avoid confronting the reality that I do in fact still possess this obsession). I will admit, I am not the largest Starbucks advocate and rarely find myself craving a specific Starbucks creation, but the exception to this phenomenon is the s’mores frappe. Maybe it is because of the anticipation of having to wait for the summer to indulge in this delicious drink. Maybe it is because of the comfort the drink provided my sour mouth after having seven teeth pulled as a child. Or maybe it is because of the prolonged two consecutive summers that Starbucks constricted it from their menu. Either way, all I know for certain is that I am OBSESSED. Unfortunately, my current lifestyle advancement involves the absence of dairy and excess sugar which limited my indulgences in this treat. Never before did I think the words “healthy” and “s’mores” and “frappe” could coexist in the same proclamation, but never the less, this is 2020 (the year of oddities)!
