 How to Make High Protein Cinnamon Date Frappe

Blend a few simple ingredients together to create a cold, frothy frappe with layers of coffee, cinnamon and date flavour.

Add the coffee flavoured Horlicks protein powder, chilled milk or almond milk, cinnamon, dates and ice cubes to a blender.

Step 2

Step 2: Blend Until Frothy

Blend on high until the dates are fully incorporated and the frappe becomes smooth and frothy. Taste and add a little honey or sweetener if you prefer more sweetness.

Pour into a chilled glass and sprinkle a dash of cinnamon over the top. Give it a gentle swirl and enjoy immediately.

Why This Recipe Works

Coffee and dates make a naturally delicious pairing, with the rich coffee flavour balanced by the soft caramel-like sweetness of dates. Cinnamon adds a warm spice note that complements both flavours, and when blended with ice, it creates the cold, frothy texture you expect from a frappe. Coffee-flavoured Horlicks protein powder also makes it an easy way to add protein to a refreshing beverage.

Smart Protein Upgrades

  • Add a creamy finish: Top with a spoonful of Greek yoghurt for extra creaminess and protein.
  • Bring in some crunch: Sprinkle chopped almonds or walnuts over the frappe for texture.
  • Make it more filling: Blend in a tablespoon of oats for a thicker frappe with extra fibre.

Did You Know?

Dates can add natural sweetness to drinks, which may help reduce the need for additional sweeteners. In this frappe, their caramel-like flavour also pairs nicely with coffee and cinnamon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this cinnamon date frappe without dairy milk?

Yes. You can use almond milk or another milk alternative of your choice. Choose an unsweetened option if you prefer to control the sweetness of the frappe.

Can I skip the honey or sweetener?

Yes. The dates already add natural sweetness to the frappe, so you can taste it after blending and add honey or another sweetener only if needed.

Can I prepare this protein frappe in advance?

It is best enjoyed immediately after blending while it is cold and frothy. If you need to prepare it slightly ahead, keep it refrigerated and stir or blend briefly before serving.
