Cherry Matcha Iced Frappuccino

A frappuccino is the perfect way to refresh and revive yourself on a warm summer’s day. So what about a frappucino layered with fresh flavors and healthy & energizing matcha? Now, that’s just the cherry on top. 

Cool, creamy, and delicious, this cherry matcha frappuccino will carry you right through spring and summer. A delectable treat with health benefits that also keeps you energized is rare, and you won’t find this beverage at a big brand shop. No, you’ll have to craft this one yourself. Luckily, it only takes a few simple steps, and you’re on your way. We used sweetened, condensed milk to add sweetness and give the drink an even creamier texture. If you’d prefer to opt for something a little healthier, you can substitute it for honey or agave. You can even experiment with different kinds of milk ( hello almond milk! ) to find your perfect flavor combination.
