save this recipe!Tofu is one of the most versatile ingredients! Over the years, I’ve turned it into everything from “scrambled eggs” to chocolate pie. Up next, a high-protein frappuccino.
The smooth texture of silken tofu gives this drink the perfect texture without the need for milk!
Similar to my coffee and oat smoothie, this is a quick way to get everything you need to start your day: protein, caffeine, and frosty deliciousness! Let’s blend.

“I used cold brewed coffee so I didn’t have to chill the coffee in the fridge, other than that I followed the recipe as it was written and it was really good!” —Leah
Grab these ingredients
Jump to the recipe card for exact measurements—this is only an overview!
- Silken Tofu: Silken tofu gives the smoothest texture (as opposed to firm) and packs in a punch of protein! This ingredient is ready to go, just drain it and toss it into the blender!
- Strong Chilled Coffee: I like to brew this the night before and throw it in the fridge to chill overnight. Aim for strong brewed coffee for maximum tastiness.
- Sweetener: I love a spoonful of brown sugar here, but you could also use honey, maple, or stevia.
- Cocoa Powder: Unsweetened cocoa powder brings that decadent chocolate flavor (without the calories).
- Vanilla Extract: Just a dash will give this coffee smoothie major flavor.
- Ice: Finish it off with a handful of ice to make this frappuccino frosty cold.

Do I have to use tofu?
While tofu is preferred, you could also use oats, a banana, or coconut milk to make it thick and creamy. Just be sure to use canned coconut milk.
