Skinny Vanilla Mocha Frappe

Jennifer @ PB and P Design

Hi Everyone,

Since it’s Monday again, I thought I would share with you my newest coffee creation.  I figured we would need the caffeine kick to get us through the day!  Wouldn’t you agree?

This my lovely Friends is so easy, so low-calorie, not to mention a chocolaty, creamy treat that is so guilt-free, that you can have two or three.  I love this drink!  Normally when I go to my favorite coffee shop Starbucks, I always get the skinny vanilla latte or I get it on ice.  I would love to order this frappuccino style but the sugar is way to high for me!!  You’ll see what I’m talking about in a minutes.


I made this drink using instant coffee, but you can always brew up your favorite coffee, the key is to make it strong cup.  Than I froze my coffee for 4 hours or you can do it overnight. Let it thaw a little bit, so your blender can crush the ice.  Than I added a little bit of stevia, vanilla extract and unsweetened cocoa powder.  Blend a way to this tasty drink.

I have to say, nothing like sitting outside on a hot day and sipping on a cool drink.  I simply love this drink!!  As we speak I have coffee in the freezer just waiting for me.  I can’t wait!

Now you know I love to do my comparisons.
