'This Copycat Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino Is Basically Fall in a Glass'

This simple recipe for a Copycat Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino is one you’re going to want to keep on hand. Not only does it taste like the original, but it's so easy to make at home. I love copycat recipes—especially for Starbucks frappuccinos. What can I say? No one gets it like them.

But spending the big bucks just for one “tall"—which is the smallest size—can add up. Once in a while, I do splurge and buy one of my favorites when I'm out and about, but if I’m home and can make one here for a fraction of the cost, I’m going to. It just makes sense to me. Literally, cents. Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

Anyway, if you like the taste of cinnamon and mild pumpkin spices mixed in a creamy pumpkin frappe, try this recipe. It’s serious deliciousness!
