Starbucks Copycat Witch’s Brew Frappuccino

If my numerous copycat Starbucks recipes haven’t tipped you off yet, let me let you in on a little secret. Starbucks is my jam. Seriously, I have yet to try a drink from them, whether it’s a sweet frappuccino or a simple black coffee that I don’t love. The only problem with Starbucks is that if you go there too often, you’ll be taking out a second mortgage. I absolutely adore Starbucks, but I don’t love anything enough to shell out all that dough! So, as a cook, I take it upon myself to simply recreate my favorite Starbucks drinks, and that’s just what I did with this Witch’s Brew Frappuccino. 

Starbucks Copycat Witch’s Brew Frappuccino

This delicious frappuccino starts with bananas, blueberries, and almond milk. I blend them until smooth, then add dragonfruit powder for that beautiful purple color. Finally, I pour it into a glass coated with chia seeds, decorate the rim with purple powdered sugar, top with whipped cream, and serve. It’s a sweet, delicious drink that’s so pretty and has a classic Halloween look, making it perfect for serving guests for any All Hallow’s Eve bash!
