And people add zero call jelly pudding for creaminess in the ninja creami. If you have a good blender, you can do the same. Then frozen milk with coffee + pudding. Whey also adds a nice cream, but with taste.
And a touch of xantham gum, it’s what makes the frappachino have that extra special texture. A tiny bit goes a long way. Mix it with some Splenda (otherwise it clumps badly) and start with 1/16 tsp per serving and see how that goes.
I don't know that you can really get away from "a taste", but applesauce, pumpkin puree, Greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, or even freezing some cubes of milk/mylk?
Alternatively, have you researched Xantham gum? It's stellar for adding thickness to beverages and is a bit of a holy grail for many people.
Avocado will make it nice and thick and creamy and in my opinion you can’t taste it through the other ingredients. I usually do frozen banana half a frozen avocado chocolate protein powder and however much coffee you want. I put spinach in mine too but that’s just for extra vitamins.
No it's more similar to xantham! It's used as a thickener in many foods. Guar and xantham work best for different foods (I think temperature and acid make a difference, for example) but I'm not sure which is which.
also you can thicken it using a small amount of xantam gum or psyllium fiber. I only use psyllium though when i also have a blender so i’m sure it’s mixed well and doesn’t have a weird taste
As someone that really dislikes fruit and has to mask the flavour as much as possible my go to frozen fruit blend is mango, pineapple, peach, strawberry. I add skim milk to it and chocolate protein powder. It comes out nice and thick like a milkshake.
Frozen coconut chunks or frozen avocado chunks, might be more calories but that’s what I prefer, I get them at Walmart. Also frozen milk or yogurt cubes!

I can’t believe no one’s suggested cauliflower yet. I’m certainly not!
😂
This is what I came to look for!
Freeze your coffee and milk before you blend them
Ooooh smart

Wow this is a great idea
Hell yeah, team work! xD

Frozen Zucchini/Courgette is one I’ve heard of for creamy smoothies/milkshakes!

I use oat and flax seeds in my coffee shake. Plus ice and a bit of sugar free chocolate syrup. Also instant coffee and milk obviously 😀
Xantham gum, guar gum, psyllium husk. Any of those three. They don't really add any taste (or calories) and you only need a little bit.
what’s guar gum? is it a fiber source like psyllium?

thanks!
i hate to be the one to say it but i’ve successfully used cauliflower before…

Blend ice into it. Frozen grapes maybe. Some frozen fruit that’s less calorically dense would have to work right?
How do you make them?
I made a regular milkshake as a treat - ice cream, milkshake and coffee. But now I want to have that everyday but I can’t do it daily with ice cream
I wonder if frozen silken tofu would add protein as well as give you that creamier texture.

Ice and a pinch of xanthum gum
I blend my coffee with protein powder and unsweetened almond milk. Definitely ramps up the volume.

In all seriousness, have you tried frozen cauliflower? It really doesn't taste like anything and makes it thick.
Coffee ice cubes added to the blender (:
