Skinny Mocha Mint Cookie Frappe

July 12, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 118 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today I have another one of my crazy coffee concoctions for you!  This came from a reader who suggested I come up with a skinny version of the Starbucks Mocha Cookie Crumble.  I did the best I could and I will say it is hella good!!!

When I was looking for ingredients for this coffee, I saw Oreo Mint Cookies and thought that the wafer part, not the filling, would be perfect in my new Frappe.  So in making this I scraped out the cream filling and added two wafer cookies to the coffee. Mmmm!  This drink has just a small kick of mint to it!  It’s perfect!!  Almost tastes like a chocolate milkshake!  I love it!


If you’re not into mint, you could use a regular chocolate wafer cookie or a regular Oreo.  I surprised my Husband and gave him a drink.  He doesn’t like Frappuccino’s, He doesn’t believe that coffee should be cold.  Let me tell you he was glad to take this coffee.  He took it, asked for whip cream and out the door he went.  I said wait!  How do you like it, it’s really good honey!  Wow, I got a honey out of him!  That means he must have loved it!!

For the topping I just added Redi Whip 5 calorie whip cream, and cookie crumbs.  I used my mini food processor to process the cookie wafer into a crumb.  That is optional, but it makes it pretty and it tastes good to!!  I didn’t include that into my calorie count.  Oh and speaking of calorie count, mine will not be exact.  See, Oreo’s with out the stuffing is 25 calorie for each wafer.  I do not know that the rest of the stats will be, but the calorie will be right on.  Speaking of calories, ready for my comparisons?

Starbucks Mocha Cookie Crumble, Non-fat Milk, no whip cream Grande Size:  320,  Fat:  4,  Sodium:  240,  Carbs:  72,  Fiber:  2,  Sugar:  66,  Protein:  5

My Mocha Mint Cookie Frappe:  103,  Fat:  .01,  Sodium:  65,  Carbs:  6.9,  Fiber:  .02,   Sugar:  6.5,  Protein:  4.1

Ha ha!  I love it!!  Look at the calories, carbs and sugar!  Crazy!!  really, what do they put in there’s?  Now you can make this at home guilt free!!

I gave our backyard bench area a little Fall makeover with pumpkins, cozy pillows and a rug—and I LOVE how inviting it looks! 🧡

And of course, the dogs had to supervise… because apparently no decorating project is complete without them! 🐾😂

This is just the beginning because we’re going to be adding LOTS more pumpkins over the next week. 🎃🎃🎃 Give me ALL the pumpkins!

Come check out the new video on my YouTube channel, Gardening with Dogs, and see how the space came together!

Why I love my Proven Winners Pugster Butterfly Bus Why I love my Proven Winners Pugster Butterfly Bush 🦋🌸

This compact butterfly bush packs a lot of benefits into a smaller plant! It produces beautiful lilac scented blooms, attracts pollinators, has a long blooming season, and adds gorgeous color to the garden without taking up a ton of space.

If you’re looking for a pollinator-friendly plant that works beautifully in a sun to part-sun garden, the Pugster® Butterfly Bush is definitely one to consider! 🌿🦋

Some memories are too precious to ever fade. 💙🐾 S Some memories are too precious to ever fade. 💙🐾

Sully passed away at only 2 years old from osteosarcoma, cancer of the bone. Losing him was one of the hardest things I’ve ever experienced.

I created Sully’s Garden to keep his memory alive—to have a little place in our garden that would always remind me of my sweet boy. 🌿💙

His garden sign now has a special place in a planter, surrounded by flowers and love. Every time I see it, I think of Sully.

He may not be here beside me, but he will always be a part of our home, our garden, and my heart. 🌈🐾

Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever Sully. ❤️

Check my newest YouTube video of Sully’s Garden.

Hi Friends! I am absolutely loving Proven Winner Hi Friends! 

I am absolutely loving Proven Winners’ Truffula Pink Globe Amaranth (Gomphrena pulchella)! This is my first year growing it, and I’m already thinking it will be back in the garden next year. 💗

It has the cutest bright pink, globe-shaped flowers, and this little flower loves the heat! When temperatures hit the mid-90s, the Truffula Pink really shines. ☀️

Oddly enough, I don’t get many monarch butterflies in my garden, but I had some visit this week—and they were hanging out on the Truffula Pink Gomphrena! 🦋💗

For that reason alone, I’ll definitely be growing it again next year!

🌸 Truffula Pink Globe Amaranth
• Annual
• Zones 9a–11b
• Height: 22–28”
• Spread: 22–26”
• Full sun ☀️
• Drought tolerant
• Pink flowers
• Great in containers or planted directly in the ground
• Low maintenance
• No deadheading required

Have you grown Truffula Pink Gomphrena? 🌸🦋
