Eliminate hundreds of calories with this morning fix. Its still hot out there so you can enjoy this in this hot hot summer

1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
1/4 cup boiling water
1 cup milk
4 1/2 teaspoons chocolate syrup
1/2 cup of crushed ice

In a bowl, dissolve coffee granules in water. Pour into ice cube tray and freeze.

In a blender, combine milk, chocolate syrup and coffee ice cubes. Cover and process until smooth. Add crushed ice and blend.

You can add whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup but dont forget to calculate those calories.

    Thanks, I'll have to give that a try!

    One question: What type of milk are you using here? I'm assuming skim, but just wanted to check. Thanks again!

    i work at starbucks and there are alot of options for a low cal drink
    i personally drink a Iced Venti coffe with 2 pumps white mocha which comes out to 50 cal
    plus it has about 4-5 times the caffeine as a mocha frapachino
    but u can get a tall mocha frapachino light for about 120 cals

    just ask your barista to point you in the right direction
    thats what we get paid to do

    Yeah, but then I'd have to wash my blender.

    And instant coffee is gross in any application.
