I'll buy a can of frappe mix at costco. Mix it with ice and coffee in a blender. Put chocolate and fat free whip cream on top0

I love frappuccinos and shakes in general - very addictive! Although I still buy them as I can't take my blender to work, I've learned a great trick. If you add xanthan gum (just 1/4 to 1/2 of a teaspoon) it turns a slushy/icy shake into a well blended, creamy and super thick shake. You can also add half xanthan and half guar gum, but I prefer just xanthan gum. I think these gums are part of the reason that frappuccinos are so well blended. I've posted two recipes that I use. I don't usually add coffee, but I'm sure you could replace some of the liquid with coffee and it would taste great.
Protein version
2/3 cup milk (I use soy)
one serving of protein powder (I've used both chocolate and vanilla of multiple brands and all work well)
2 TBS cocoa powder
two packets of stevia
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
1 to 1.5 cups of ice
1/2 cup water (depending on the power of your blender and how much ice you used)
Faux frosty version
300 mL (approx 1 and 1/4 cup) milk (I use soy)
2 TBS cocoa powder
two packets of stevia
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
1 to 1.5 cups of ice
Both taste great and are super filling. And if you want them to be, they are super low calorie.0 -
