Franzese Frappe (Chocolate Frappe, Retail Bag - 1 Pack)

A product of Italy and packaged in the USA there are 14 servings in this bag of lemon flavor frappe mix and it makes 8 ounce drinks. A cold lemon frappe is particularly good during the summer months as a creamy lemonade and it did not disappoint. The flavor is citrusy and bright but not unpleasantly tart—a good balance. To make the drink add 6 ounces of ice, 4 ounces of 2 percent milk (I used almond milk) and 3 tablespoons of the mix to a blender and run until smooth. Note the product is processed in a facility that also processes tree nuts, pistachios, peanuts, soybeans, sesame and eggs. To estimate shelf-life at the time of this review in April 2024 the Best By date is 28 months in the future but dates will vary. Delicious.

Review is for Hot Cocoa. This is a nice large bag of powder to make hot/iced chocolate. The instructions say to make on stovetop so that takes away from the ease of making. You just need milk and the powder mixes easily. Just be careful on the stovetop to not overheat because it'll clump. Overall drink was very rich and full of chocolate flavor and was good iced or hot. However for the price and effort, I don't know that the taste was all that much better than the easy make hot cocoa mixes that you can make right in your cup without a stovetop. If you are really picky about your cocoa maybe give this a try and see if there's a big difference and it's worth it for you as it pretty rich and thick.

I'm reviewing Franzese Frappe, Lemon Frappe, Retail Bag - 1 Pack, 20 oz. This mix helps whip up a delicious lemon frappe that's quick and easy. It's simply 1/2 cup milk, 6 oz of ice, and 3 tbsp mix. I found this to be a bit on the thick side, so added just a little more milk to get the right consistency to blend fully in my NutriBullet. It has a delightful and refreshing lemon flavor. Ingredients are non-GMO and natural flavors are used. I like that it comes in a resealable zippered bag. This bag will make 18 servings. At a price of $24.95, that makes each frappe $1.39 plus the cost of 1/2 cup milk. That's a reasonable price, especially compared to getting one on the run from a shop. As a side note, this Franzese Lemon Frappe Mix is made in the USA.

I’ve used tinned frappe mix before so I was surprised how small this container is for the price! You can definitely find other options that would include more product at this price. However, it’s a good base for a drink. As with all mixes like this, it’ll taste the best if you add your own milk and coffee (or to be extra indulgent, ice cream). You can even add powdered instant coffee for extra convenience. For context, coffee shops that use mixes like this tend to use them as a base for espresso, ice, milk, syrup, etc. - so it’s not unusual that you might need to add some additional ingredients to up the flavor to a similar level.

This lemon frappe comes in the powder form, you will need to blend it with milk and ice to make a lemon shake. The drink tastes a good overall, it's not too sweet and the milk adds a richness to the flavor. The lemon flavor is quite tasty and aromatic; however, it doesn't taste tangy enough for me. I had to add some lime juice to enhance the flavor. Other than that, it makes a delicious drink for the summer. I'd highly recommend.
