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.

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.
Let’s Make It!

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.

looooooooooove this! I will be making this tomorrow morning. Amazing.
Thanks, Naomi! Enjoy!!
I am a nursing students and do all of my meals prep early in the week or the night before work because my Ninja is so loud. Could you make this the night before or would it separate?
Hi Katelyn! I haven’t tried making this smoothie the night before. I think even if it does separate, you can simply shake it up right before drinking 🙂 I wouldn’t make it more than a day in advance though.
Hello. It is important in my work as a health professional that the recipes I share give the amount of sugar. Is there a way to add the sugar content to the nutrition facts?
Thanks!
Hi Autumn, thanks for your question! I just updated the nutrition information with more values filled in (sugar is 5.9 g for 1/2 of the recipe). Thanks for pointing that out! 😀
I’ve never used silken tofu before, does it need to be cooked beforehand or can I just pile it on in?
Nope, just throw it in! 😀
I know it called a tofu fraphichino but i dont have any tofu and tipically dont like it . i want to try this recipe out tomorrow . is there something eles i can replace the tofu for ????
Hi Christina! You could try banana, coconut milk, or even oats 🙂 You might also want to try my Wake Me Up Coffee Smoothie, it’s similar to this but without the tofu.
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!
So smart! Glad you liked it, Leah! 😀
I loved it but didn’t have any healthy no sweeteners and had to use the devilish sugar, but I’m very impressed never would have thought about tofu and coffee. Very good!!
Yay so happy to hear, Valarie! Enjoy!!
I want sure if I would like this, but I do. It is creamy and delicious. And the boost of protein is great. I think a few cherries or done mint extract would be a great addition.
i have not tried this yet, but it looks really good. the recipe says 87kcal – is that correct?? thank you.
Yes that’s correct! 🙂
A thought – make yourself some coffee ice cubes instead of just plain ice. Just starting out on a vegetarian journey, and I’m excited to try making this soon.
That’s a great idea! 😀
