Low Carb Sugar-Free Caramel Frappuccino

So today is Labour Day, the unofficial end of summer. And while I am looking forward to fall and all the deliciousness it brings, I am loathe to let go of summer at the moment. This fall is going to bring some amazing changes to my life in the form of a cross-country move and a new job for my husband, and all the ensuing craziness has me a touch apprehensive. I am excited for the move overall and truly delighted to be heading back to the Pacific NorthWest, but there is much to be done when one decides to uproot kids and household and move 2500 miles away to a city one has never even visited. So you might understand why I am clinging to summer a little harder than usual this year.

So I thought I would share a recipe I’ve been making all summer long to keep cool and refreshed. Seriously, it’s so good and it’s incredibly filling. It’s like a fat bomb in a glass, and can keep me full throughout the morning. It took me a while to get the amounts just right and I have to say that having a good high-powered blender like a Blendtec really makes a difference. I will be reviewing the Blendtec Designer 725 blender in a few days and it’s an amazing machine. And I get to give one away to one lucky reader so stay tuned for that.

Now on to more serious stuff. I am far from the only one with upheaval in my life and I know my troubles are minor compared to many. A dear blogger, Ashley from Center Cut Cook, has been going through the sort of upheaval no one should have to experience. Last December she found out she was pregnant with her first child after many years of trying. And within two weeks, she also found out that her husband Ryan, a healthy 29 year old, has Stage 4 colon cancer. They’ve been through a wild ride for the past 9 months, of chemotherapy for him and ultrasounds for her. The swings from up to down have been enormous, with good news following bad following good. Thus far, Ryan has been an amazing fighter but the cancer has spread and his prognosis is uncertain. Their little boy, Miles, was born this summer, beautiful and healthy and a true light in their lives.

I am telling you this because I am contributing to a silent auction to benefit Ashley, Ryan and little Miles – Food Bloggers For #TeamRyan. They are both self-employed and all of the medical costs and time off from work has been hard on them. I am donating a Low Carb Baking Bundle to the auction and I sincerely hope you will consider bidding on the prize, or any of the other great prizes donated by other bloggers.

  7. Carolyn! I just found you and love you. Off topic question, but can you freeze your cake creations? I made your olive garden-esque lemon cake this weekend, but am starting a whole 30 diet today. would hate to throw it out because it is DEE-LISH 🙁

    • If it’s already frosted, the frosting may change a little in consistency when you thaw it out but yes, it should be pretty good. I freeze my muffins and cakes (usually unfrosted) all the time!

  10. Made this today and threw in about a teaspoon of your salted caramel topping for the caramel flavoring. It was delicious! Thanks so much for all your great recipes!

  11. Nana’s little kitchen blog has been deleted-see link above. Also, I’m looking for a frappe powder “recipe” possibly including whey protein powder and xanthan gum to use as a base. Would you have any recipes or ideas about this? I’ve heard it keeps frozen drinks from separating.

  14. I think I will try this but leave out the Stevia and add a tiny bit of honey. Honey is lower on glycemic index and is natural, plus I will add a little vanilla for natural sweetness too.

    It’s 2020 and I’m just seeing this post for the first time- searched for frap on the blog. I made this for the second time (yesterday and today – I added collagen today which was great) and just looked up Ashley. My dad passed away from lung cancer (61) and that was hard to watch him go through and think of all the moments that he would miss – I can only imagine what she’s been through. I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to do something for them at the time – but I’m so grateful that there are people like you out there that try to help others, and lend your influence for others like you do. Thank you for being the type of person that you are and for being there for your friend. I looked at her blog – it looks like she and her family have gone through a lot over the years. Of course the drink was delicious – but everything I’ve tried from you has been.

    • Thanks, Amanda. They have indeed gone through so much. Ashley is amazing and strong, and she is there for her small son, Miles.

  16. Hi Carolyn! I just recently found you and am so grateful! Your recipes are delicious and making this life change so much easier to embrace, so thank you! Would Swerve work to sweeten this and if so, how much would you suggest? Again, thanks so very much!
