Introduction

This is a GREAT low-fat version of the famous frappuccino. This works best if made in a high-powered blender like the Blentec or Vitamix which leaves no ice chunks, but I suppose any blender will still give you a tasty product!

Ingredients

    1c cold double strength coffee (ie. brew 10 TBSP coffee to 5c water)
    1/2c non-fat milk
    1/4c liquid creamer (I use Almond Joy flavor for a mocha coconut version!)
    1/8c Splenda or other no-calorie sweetener
    2c crushed ice

    Note: A pinch of xanthan gum is the secret ingredient to keeping the frapps thick & creamy and also prevents them from separating! This ingredient can also be used to thicken smoothies and sauces when cooking. I order mine online, but have also seen it near flours in the "Natural Foods" section at several grocery stores.

Directions

1. Brew a strong coffee at double-strength and allow time to chill. (I make mine in the evening and refrigerate overnight.)

2. Once the coffee is chilled, add ingredients to your blender in the order listed and blend until smooth and creamy!!!

Now you have a frapp for less than 50 cents per serving. :)
