Mocha Frappa

CMenendez

I am addicted to the mcd's drink but I know how awful they are. I tried a recipe I found that was much healthier but its not perfect. Does anyone have any good mocha frapp using instant coffee?

Hi there.

I don't have the answer you are looking for, but have you tried the Starbucks bottled frappucinos? They have light mixes now -- in mocha and in vanilla. They can be a little pricey ($5.99 at Wal-mart for a 4 pack) but that's cheaper than as many drinks you would get at Starbucks or Mickey Ds! I love them only 100 calories per bottle.

Starbucks charges an arm and a leg, but a grande frap (mocha light, or caramel light) are under 150 calories.

I found this one on myrecipes.com. I'm sure you could use instant coffee with it.
