Peppermint Mocha Frappe

May 16, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 22 Comments

Howdy Everyone,

I have been having so much fun with making frappuccino’s this week, that I created another one for you.  One of my all time favorites, Mint Peppermint Mocha!  It is so delicious, refreshing and the perfect after dinner dessert.

Remember when I made my Coconut Frappe the other day and I was having issues with my blender?  Well on Saturday I bit the bullet and went out and bought myself a Ninja Blender for my Mother’s Day present.  I bought it from bed Bath and Beyond and used my 20% off coupon.  It works like a dream!!


I can’t wait to see what else I can make with it.  I’m curious to how the juicing part will go.  I may try that tomorrow since I have veggies I have to use up before my trip.  I know my Husband won’t be eating veggies while I’m gone and I can’t let them go to waste.  I would have liked a Vitamix but that was way out of my price range, but so far I’m pretty happy with my Ninja.

Back in my non-healthy lifestyle I used to order the full-blown fatty Mint Peppermint Mocha from Starbucks.  I will say it is so good!  With all that fresh whip cream, sugar and chocolate.  Oh man, was it good!  But I’m happy to report that my Peppermint Mocha is just as amazing.  Little Jenny and I split this drink and I was worried to what she would think, since she orders Frappuccino’s from Starbucks all the time.  Her review was Mmmm, this is good.  When I told her I didn’t add any sugar, she was like what the heck, really?  You wouldn’t have known.  She thought is was very creamy, sweet and delish.  Yah for me!!  That’s pretty good coming from a 20 year old.

With my drink I added 1/4 teaspoon of pure mint extract, you may want to go a pinch less and just try one drop first and take it from there.  The mint at first seemed like “Wow”, but once you started to drink the frappe, you didn’t notice the strong peppermint flavor.  This drink, as Jenny said, is extremely creamy and full of mint and chocolate flavor.  You don’t really notice the taste of coffee in this drink.  If you want more of a strong coffee taste, I would add two packets of instant coffee or a strong espresso.

  • Fat Free Whip Cream
  • Chocolate Syrup

You know I like to do my comparisons, so let’s compare Starbucks to mine.

Starbucks Grande Peppermint Mocha Light:  Calories:  170,  Fat:  1,  Cholesterol:  0,  Sodium:  190,  Carbs:  38,  Fiber:  0,  Sugar:  35,  Protein:  4

I don’t get where the sugar comes from in Starbucks?  I think it is from their mocha.  Now for mine.  Now take in mind, my sugar count is from milk.  Milk has natural sugars in it.  I also didn’t water my drink down, its pure fat free milk.  When you look at the figures, look at my protein, compared to Starbucks.  They use non-fat milk, so where’s the protein?  They must only use about 1/2 cup of milk in the drink, and the rest is sugar and water.  Not good Starbucks!  Now don’t think I won’t go there to drink coffee, because I still will.  But making it at home is healthier and better for you.

Jennifer’s Peppermint Mocha:  Calories per serving:  160.4,  Fat:  0,  Cholesterol:  10,  Sodium:  260,  Carbs:  24,  Fiber:  0,   Sugar:  24,  Protein:  16

Now what do you think?

Since I got my Ninja, I remade my Coconut Mocha Frappe and it turned out smooth and creamy, just the way I wanted it.

Doesn’t it look better than the ones’ I posted last week?  I think I may update that post with the better pictures I took.

Well I am almost done writing my posts for the week.  I have been busy this past week making extra recipes to share with you.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!!

Toodles!

Jen

    Yummmy. I made caramel coffee shakes this week, a perfect afternoon delight! These look great Jen! I saw that Ninja at Costco yesterday and almost bought it (actually I only just saw the commercial for it the day before). I want it!!! It was $119 at Costco…is it cheaper with a coupon at BB&B? Just wondering….

      Hi, I paid $137 with tax from BB&B. Mine was normally $159. It comes with two pitchers a 5 cup and a 9 cup. Plus it has additional blades with it to make cookies, pizza and something other goodies. Here’s the link to the one I got. http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=18119072

    The thing that I hate about starbucks drinks is that they have so many calories you almost want to have one as a meal…but they have absolutely ZERO nutritional value. With yours though, and all that protein..this is definitely meal worthy! And delicious. Gotta love that chocolate/mint combo.

      The calories is one of the reasons I make them at home. Way healthier for you! Starbucks told me they don’t use a sugar free mocha syrup, just less of sugary stuff. So your still getting a ton of sugar.

      I like making them at home, not to save money but because I’m to lazy to leave and buy one.

    This is so inspiring. Forget pay almost $5 a day for Starbucks. AND way healthier than a Dunkin Coolatta (which is more like dessert anyway).

Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target.

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
