Mango Watermelon Frappe:
Frappe were once served at fine restaurants between courses as a palate cleanser, today they are considered more of a light refreshing dessert. You may wonder what the difference between a smoothie and a frappe is, it’s a little hard to explain but when you taste one you know the difference! A frappe is frothy and light, delicate almost… and a frappe generally would not contain greens or be served as breakfast or meal replacement like a smoothie, because they are light and sweet .
The Toppings:
I top this frappe with my Vanilla Paste Whipped Cream, a slice of dried apricot and a mint leaf from my herb garden. You and your family are going to love this recipe!

I use xylitol made from birch trees for a sweetener. This would totally work!! Looks amazing.
