Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Frappe #SundaySupper

April 7, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 62 Comments

Hi Everyone and Happy Sunday!

Today for the #SundaySupper we had to make a budget friendly meal for when times are tough and groceries can be expensive.   I am bringing one of my favorite recipes to the table!   You already know I am a HUGE coffee drinker and you already know that I heart Starbucks, so today I am excited to bring to you my latest coffee concoction, the Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Frappe.

Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Frappe

This recipe isn’t really a meal but it does save money in the pocket-book.  If your like me and can’t live without Starbucks,  then you will want to thank me, because not only does this taste amazing, it’s low-calorie and yes cheap to make.  I guessed that this drink probably costs about 25 cents to make, compared to the almost $5.00 that they charge at the store.  Plus to boot in all actuality this recipe makes two servings so now it costs about 15 cents to make!  Your welcome!  🙂

Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Frappe


Not only do I LOVE to save money, but I also love low calories!  This drink is so guilt-free that you wont want to share and you can drink the whole thing yourself!  You know I love to do calorie comparisons  so I am bringing you that today that way you’ll want to make this at home instead of driving in the car and going to SB.  Let’s check out the stats, shall we.

Starbucks Cinnamon Dolce Frappuccino Light (Venti 20 oz):  Calories:  210,  Fat:  1,  Cholesterol:  5,  Sodium:  0,  Carbs:  42,  Fiber:  4,  Sugar:  31,  Protein:  7

PB&P Cinnamon Dolce Frappe (32 oz whole recipe):  Calories:  48,  Fat:  0,  Cholesterol:  2.5,  Sodium:  65,  Potassium:  5.8,  Carbs:  7.9, Fiber:  .06,  Sugar:  7,  Protein:  4

Check out the Calorie difference.   CRAZY!!!  My carbs and sugar are way less too!  Thank you SB, I’ll be making my Skinny Cinnamon Dolce at home!  Oh and mine included whip cream!

Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Frappe

So you want to know what is this low-calorie drink made out of?  Glad you asked!  It’s so simple, it’s almost embarrassing.   It’s skim milk, coffee, and cinnamon!  That’s it!  I topped it with some fat-free whip cream and a pinch of cinnamon and sugar.  The taste is unbelievable  I thought it would have been a little spicy and a little to earthy, but it wasn’t.  It is creamy, smooth and just the right amount of sweetness.  I am impressed with this one!

Prep time
5 mins
Total time
5 mins
 
A frozen coffee drink blended with milk and cinnamon and topped with whip cream and sugar and cinnamon.
Serves: 4 Cups
Ingredients
  • For Frappe:
  • 1½ cups coffee, partially thawed
  • ½ cup non-fat milk or coconut milk
  • ½ tsp. cinnamon, ground
  • ¼ tsp. stevia or 2 tbsp sugar (more to taste)
  • Topping:
  • 1 dash cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp. sugar or a pinch of stevia
  • 2 tbsp. fat free whip cream
Instructions
  1. In a blender add all of the Frappe Ingredients, process until smooth.
  2. Serve with a dollop of whip cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar. I used the Trader Joe's Cinnamon and Sugar Grinder.
  3. Note: For coffee, I froze 1½ cups of coffee in ice cube trays or you can freeze 1½ cups of coffee in a freezer safe container and microwave for a few seconds to soften up or leave on the counter. Last option, in a glass add 1½ heaping teaspoons of instant coffee in 1½ cups of water, refrigerate until cold and add ice cubes to the blender when you ready to make.
Notes
Calorie for the whole recipe: Calories: 48, Fat: 0, Cholesterol: 2.5, Sodium: 65, Potassium: 5.8, Carbs: 7.9, Fiber: .06, Sugar: 7, Protein: 4

Cinnamon Dolce Frappe

I love friendly budget meals and I love that I can save money from not going to my favorite coffee-house!   Though you know I’ll still be making my trip to Starbucks!  After all I need to keep my gold card member status!

Have a wonderful Sunday and be sure to check out everyone else’s friendly budget meals!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    I too love to pop into Starbucks and grab a drink. Most mornings I do make coffee at home, but when I want to get out of the house Starbucks is my place. I can’t wait to try this frappe. My only problem is going to be finding some leftover coffee to freeze.

      You know what I have done when I was out of coffee? I buy a venti ice coffee, plain from Starbucks and take it home and use it to make my frappes. A big venti will make about two frappes, just add ice into it.

      I know even though SB drinks can be sugar free, the calories are insane. I found out they use a Cafe syrup that makes coffee flavor, that is where all the sugar is. Eck!

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. The wea Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. The weather was beautiful here, but that won’t last long. By mid week we will be back in the low 50’s with high wind and a chance of rain, for several days. But that’s okay, we need the rain.
🌷
Saturday morning I went to Trader Joe’s, and oh my gosh they had the most gorgeous tulips. I was so surprised to find them so early in the year. All those beautiful colors just made me happy. I picked up two bundles to take home with me. I just had too! Shhhh, some daffodils, a plant and planted tulips made it in my cart. I am unclear how that happened?🤷🏼‍♀️
🌷
I know, I know, I’m on the 30 day, no buying home decor challenge. But are flowers really decor? They are more of a “put a smile on your face because you know Spring is coming” kind of flower. I’ll make any excuse I can.
🌷
I did go to Michaels yesterday with my husband and I walked out empty handed. I even saw some really cute decor, but I told myself no. Today is day 18! You do realize, we are going shopping on the 31st.

Did you do anything fun this weekend?

I’m ending the week with my little friend Woody. Woody is a Nuttall Woodpecker that spends the night in our birdhouse. He comes home at dusk and leaves at sunrise. So right now Woody sleeps just over 14 hours. I have noticed the days are getting longer, as he goes to bed about two minutes later every night. Yes I watch. lol
🪶
My husband said Woody leaves in the morning to go to work and comes home after work. I think he leaves in the morning to go visit his girlfriend. They spend the days flying, holding wings as they soar in the air together.
🪶
I’m actually surprised we have a woodpecker since they normally like to hang around the California Oak Woodland trees. We don’t have oak trees where I live, at least that I know of. Woody is also a California bird, they pretty much stays within the state.
🪶
In the first video; Woody is making the hole bigger on the birdhouse so he could fit in. He was at it for awhile. If you listen to the video, you can here him pecking. He spent the 1st night in the blue birdhouse, then changed his mind to the cedar birdhouse. He’s been with us for 7 nights so far.
🪶
The second video is Woody coming home and going to sleep. We are just full of joy seeing him come back. My husband didn’t think birds lived in a birdhouse, and he is so excited to see one actually use the birdhouse he hung. For a man who didn’t want bird feeders, he gets so excited to see them. If birds are in the yard, he won’t go outside because he doesn’t want to disturb them.
🪶
The two photos were captures I got. He actually didn’t freak out and leave when he saw me. I was about 5’ away from him.
🪶
I know this is not decor, but the birds just make me so happy.
🪶
What is your favorite bird?

Hello hello! Happy Thursday! It’s been a busy w Hello hello! Happy Thursday!  It’s been a busy week, so the weekend can’t get here soon enough. Yesterday it hit 66, it felt like spring out. This weekend, I’ll be cleaning up the garden. I’ll take you on a tiny tour this weekend.
❤️
I love making vignettes. It helps give me ideas on how and where I want to display things in my home, so you may see some of these items placed somewhere else at a later date.
❤️
My friend Liz @little_bit_original gifted me the cute little coffee with heart block and the snowman with heart. Give me all the hearts!  Liz has the cutest little shop, be sure you check her out.
❤️
What would you rather have? Chocolate or Flowers?

Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday! We are half way ther Hi Everyone! Happy Wednesday! We are half way there!  I’m counting down to the weekend. It’s supposed to hit near 70 degrees which is rare for this time of year.
💕
I’m sharing with you my little Valentines vignette that I put together. Since some of you said buying candy and displaying it was considered home decor, I used the Hostess Snow Balls that my husband bought.
💕
He said your using the Snow Balls I bought for Home Decor. I said yup! It’s pink and goes with my Valentines. Now I can’t eat them because I don’t want to lose my display. Lol
💕
I was so excited to get my happy mail from @thevintagehomestudio. The tea towel and candy bar was the perfect addition to my display. I love my tea towel so much. Give me all the hearts.
💕
I’m half way through my no buying home decor challenge. So far so good, but I will tell you now, I am going to buy some flowers when I hit up Trader Joe’s this week, I just have too. I heard they got a bunch of gorgeous tulips. I must have them. But I promise that I won’t go crazy.
💕
What are your plans for the weekend?

Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting longer and Spring will be here before we know it. #sponsored I can’t wait! Spring is my favorite season!
🌸
I’m sharing with you my new Yuri 4 piece patio set that I got from RST Brands. I love the clean lines and it’s made with certified eucalyptus wood. Plus it is so comfortable to sit on.
🌸
The beautiful light blue cushions are covered in a durable olefin fabric that is weather resistant. Plus the cushions have zippers, so you can wash the cushion covers. That’s a big plus, considering Sampson loves to sit on furniture.
🌸
I can’t wait to decorate my Yuri 4 piece seating set with throws, pillows and of course plants. When the weather warms up, I’ll take you along with me when I decorate.
🌸
Are you looking forward to Spring?

Happy Monday! As usual the weekend flew by, but I’m happy that I got some things done. I’m really trying to do some purge and organize. Slowly moving at it, one day at a time.
💕
I’m sharing with you my Valentines Day tiered tray. If you notice, I finally got a new tiered tray.  Woohoo, the tiered tray is from @paperadpallet. I’m so happy to ditch my old white one. It was so crooked that I had to put a towel under to make it straight. I now finally have a straight tiered tray.
💕
I’ve been good and I still haven’t gone shopping, but after putting this tray together, I realize I don’t own any wooden hearts. I really would like some white and pink ones. I could do a diy, I don’t think that’s considered buying home decor?
💕
How was your weekend?

Hello Thursday! Hope your week is going well. So f Hello Thursday! Hope your week is going well. So far so good over here. I’ve been doing well not shopping. I had to have Target deliver groceries yesterday because I was afraid to go in that store. I have no control. 23 more days to go for my 30 day no buying home decor challenge.
🌿
I’m slowly working on refreshing my home after Christmas. I worked on this vignette in my living room. It’s really hard shopping my home. I grabbed stuff in just about every room to make this vignette.
🌿
I’m sticking with the whites and greens and added the blue vase to go with my pillow in the background. I added another faux fern, I didn’t realize how many I have floating around.
🌿
The pot the fern is in was a pot that my spider plant was in that I got from Trader Joe’s. I told you I really shopped around my home. But it’s kind of fun using things I already have.
🌿
Do you like shopping your own home?

Hello Wednesday! Half way through the first week b Hello Wednesday! Half way through the first week back, we can do it. I need to pump myself up. 😂 All in all it’s not to bad of a work week.
🌿
Last week I worked on changing my console table around. I wanted to keep it light and simple and of course add my greenery.
🌿
I just love adding pops of greenery, real or faux everywhere. Plants truly make me happy. The faux fern you see here is from Target. It’s part of the Studio McGee collection. I can’t get over how real it looks.
🌿
For ferns, I always have to get faux. I don’t have very good luck with real ones. It’s just to dry here. I have to water them everyday and if you miss a day, they die. So faux it will be.
🌿
What’s your favorite plant?
