Ah, Bethenny Frankel. She's not just an OG star of The Real Housewives. She's also a TikTok extraordinaire - whether I intentionally click on her page or if she pops up on my FYP (hey, girl!), I know I can rely on her to post a wild new food or drink concoction. This year, she's been sharing what she calls "Supermodel Snacks," some of her uniquely Bethenny creations. One of her recent videos shows her making what she calls a "Super Model Frothy Banana Latte." @bethennyfrankel / Via tiktok.com The iced coffee recipe is made in a shaker with several ingredients, including oat milk, cold foam, and pumpkin spice. @bethennyfrankel / Via tiktok.com However, the real kicker is banana extract, an ingredient I've never seen in a coffee recipe before. @bethennyfrankel / Via tiktok.com Once Bethenny has added all liquid ingredients, she aggressively shakes them together. @bethennyfrankel / Via tiktok.com Finally, she pours the coffee into a glass with new ice, topping the drink with cold foam and pumpkin spice. "Good God, woman," Bethenny exclaims when trying the finished coffee. @bethennyfrankel / Via tiktok.com The video has received over 200,000 views, with enthusiastic reactions. @bethennyfrankel / Via tiktok.com So, is Bethenny onto something?! I decided to recreate it to find out. Here's everything you need to make Bethenny's iced latte. Adriana Chavez / Via BuzzFeed Though a latte is technically made with espresso, it looks like Bethenny uses cold brew based on the amount of coffee she puts in the shaker. She also includes a few drops of what she calls a "squeeze sweet," which I'm assuming is a product from her line of sugar-free liquid sweeteners. I used regular Splenda instead. Following Bethenny's instructions, I started by putting ice into a cocktail shaker. Adriana Chavez / Via BuzzFeed I then filled the shaker about two-thirds of the way full with cold brew. Adriana Chavez / Via BuzzFeed Next up: oat milk. Adriana Chavez / Via BuzzFeed Then, some creamer. Adriana Chavez / Via BuzzFeed Then, the sweetener. Adriana Chavez / Via BuzzFeed And lastly, a bit of banana extract. Adriana Chavez / Via BuzzFeed I recommend using a measuring spoon - I used around 1/8 of a teaspoon. Following Bethenny's example, it was time to shake like my life depended on it. Adriana Chavez / Via BuzzFeed Once I had shaken to my heart's content, I poured the drink into a glass with fresh ice. Adriana Chavez / Via BuzzFeed I couldn't forget the cold foam! Adriana Chavez Finally, I sprinkled the top of the drink with pumpkin spice. Adriana Chavez So, what's the verdict? While I didn't say "Good God, woman," upon tasting, 'Frankel'-y, I did really like it. The iced latte tasted like vanilla banana marshmallow, and I happily sipped it down as my morning coffee. Adriana Chavez / Via BuzzFeed The banana extract was the riskiest ingredient here, but it paid off; it tasted like Laffy Taffy! I was glad that the flavor wasn't too strong. The recipe only uses a small amount, and the pumpkin spice helps provide some contrast in flavor. However, I wouldn't recommend this latte if you don't already like banana flavor. It's not Magnolia Bakery's Banana Pudding-level good. I can't say I noticed a change in texture from using a cocktail shaker, so don't worry if you don't have one. But hey, it was fun! So, would I make this again? I'll admit I'm not as die-hard a banana-lover as, say, Gwen Stefani. So, I wouldn't go out of my way to get banana extract again to make it. However, since I still have all the drink ingredients, heck yeah, I'll be whipping up another "Super Model Latte" soon.
