Make your own Mocha Frappucino

It's merely 85 degrees here, cool for a Washington, DC summer afternoon. Anyhow, I saw an ad for a blended coffee drink on our way home from running some errands and decided to save $7.00 and make them myself for Andrew and me. These are so refreshing!
Blended Iced Mocha

2 servings

This is a refreshing but guilt-free treat for grown-ups for a hot summer afternoon.

2 heaping cups of ice cubes
3 tsp. instant coffee, regular or decaf
3/4 cup nonfat or low fat milk
2 Tbsp. chocolate syrup, or more to taste
1 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 packet splenda, equal or 1 tsp. sugar

Blend everything in a standing blender until smooth. Enjoy immediately!

This looks delicious! I'm a mocha afficionado, meaning just that I have to have my daily cup, so I'll be sure to give this a try.

Your mention of this in the weekly email, by the way, was what brought me to the blog for the first time.

Thanks!

My husband and I just tried this before heading to the beach. Delicious! Tastes just like the "real deal." Thank you! I had to make it without the chocolate syrup, and it's still tastey.
