What is Keto Chow?

Keto Chow the BEST tasting I’ve tried. It comes in so many flavors and is customizable to your personal nutrition needs! …And it’s hubby approved.

Can I use a Different Protein?
You can totally try this recipe with a different protein powder, but you will likely need to add more: pumpkin, sweetener, and spices to boost the flavor.
Is Pumpkin Keto Friendly?
There is quite a debate about whether pumpkin and other squashes fit on a keto diet. Squashes are higher on the glycemic index—but still relatively low in carbs. This recipe only uses 1 tbsp of pumpkin which is the equivalent of around 1 carb.
Ingredients for Low Carb Pumpkin Spice Frappucchino
This pumpkin spice frappe made with just a few simple ingredients and are super speedy to whip up!
With the exception of the Keto Chow most of these ingredients can be found at the grocery store—but I prefer to buy my Monkfruit Sweetener at Thrive Market.
To make this protein pumpkin spice frappe you’ll need:
- 1 scoop/packet of Pumpkin Caramel Keto Chow
- 1 strong cup of coffee (frozen into ice cubes)
- 1 tbsp pumpkin puree
- 1 tbsp Lakanto monk fruit sweetener*
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ¼- ½ cup water (depending on desired thickness—more water will make a runnier frappe)
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
*You could sub in your gluten-free sweetener of choice
Tools Needed for Low Carb Pumpkin Spice Frappucchino
You’ll need a blender and an ice cube tray.
The blender can make or break this recipe. A low-quality blender may not have the power to chop through the coffee ice cubes resulting in leaving large lumps of ice in your frappe.
However, this does not mean you need to spend a fortune on a kitchen appliance!
I personally use a Ninja, but there are a number of highly rated blenders on Amazon that are totally a reasonable price!
How to make a Low Carb Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino with Keto Chow
Step 1: Freeze 1 cup of strong brewed coffee in ice cube trays
- Tip: I often just freeze the coffee that’s leftover in the pot into ice cube trays for making frappes—then I have it ready whenever I want to make one!
Step 2: Add all ingredients to your blender and BLEND until it’s the desired consistency
- Tip: Start with ¼ cup of water. If it’s too thick, add more water until it blends easily or reaches your desired consistency.
- Not slushy enough for you? Throw in a couple more ice cubes and blend again (or pulse!)
