0 calorie syrup

The secret to having such low calorie Frappe’s is the 0 calorie sweetener! Now I have spent the better part of almost 6 month testing and trying different 0 calorie syrups until I found ones that I absolutely love. These caramel syrups are genuinely lifesavers. They taste EXACTLY like regular caramel syrups but have 0 calories. Hard to believe, I know! Plus, there are tons and tons of different flavors to choose from so you can make a million different beverages for 50 calories or less!!

These syrups are super sweet so a little goes a long way! Plus, they’re naturally sweetened, what more could a girl ask for?!

To make this low calorie caramel frappe you will need:

• Ice – You’re going to need lots of ice for this recipe. I used around 2 cups of mini ice cubes.
• Espresso – Any coffee will work for this recipe. I used these decaff espresso pods.
• Unsweetened almond milk – The reason this frappe is so low in calories is because of unsweetened almond milk. Any milk will work for this recipe but the calories will be slightly higher.
• 0 calorie caramel syrup – The secret to this super low calorie caramel frappe is the syrup!

How to make this frappe

1. Begin by preparing your espresso either using a coffee machine or instant espresso. Allow your espresso to cool completely before using.
2. Next, blend your ice, milk, espresso and syrup on the lowest setting on your blender and gradually increase until you’re using the highest setting.
3. Blend until smooth and serve immediately.

Its that simple!

FAQ’s

Do I need to use unsweetened almond milk?

Nope. You can use any milk you like. Most of my recipes are for calorie deficits and weight loss so I try to make them as low calorie as I possibly can. If you’re not in a calorie deficit or you fancy using different milk – go for it.

The calories will be different though so bear that in mind. I love to use Barista almond or oat milk sometimes. These milks add a little creaminess to the Frappe which makes it even more delicious.

I don’t have a 0 calorie syrup, what can I use instead?

First of all, WHY???

I have found the perfect 0 calorie syrup, I rave about Jordan’s skinny syrups so often I’m surprised they haven’t noticed me yet! You can get a caramel trio here, you will never be using any other syrup again they’re just that delicious.

If you don’t have these available to you or you’re just not interested, you can use regular coffee syrups or sugar. Again, these will increase the calories so if you’re in a deficit, bear that in mind.
