Dandy Blend Mocha Frappe Recipe

A quick and easy Dandy Blend mocha frappe recipe that’s both healthy and delicious.

A few months ago I was introduced to an herbal tea blend made from dandelion and chicory root that tastes surprisingly like coffee, with no brewing needed! Although, I typically prefer a cup of tea over coffee I do enjoy a tasty mocha frappe from time to time and decided to experiment with this new herbal beverage.

Dandy Blend Mocha Frappe

Dandy Blend is a finely ground soluble powder made of roasted barley extracts, roasted rye extracts, roasted dandelion root extracts, and roasted chicory root extracts. It easily dissolves into hot or cold drinks and contains no caffeine, but does have naturally occurring trace minerals which may cause a burst of energy in some people (like me!). I’d recommend starting out only drinking this in the morning to see how your body reacts.

After playing around with some ingredients I ended up with this quick and easy Dandy Blend Mocha Frappe recipe listed down below.
