One of my guilty pleasures...

I've created this healthy mocha blended coffee since I can't afford my favorite green tea frappuccino anymore @ Starbucks. I have yet to find a concentrated form of green tea in powder form so I can create my version of a green tea frapp, but I will. So my first love is coffee, then chocolate and I have found a chocolate whey protein I like.

So I came up with this:
Blended mocha protein coffee drink.
In a small bender I mix:







*9-11 coffee ice cubes -I've pre frozen them and keep in my freezer. The more ice cubes you use the firmer and milkshake like it becomes.
*1 Scoop of Frappuccino Mocha coffee mix- 60 calories (Costco)
*1 Scoop of any chocolate whey protein- 100 calories
*4 packets of Equal
*2 cups of cooled off coffee
*Top off with 1/2 or less of chocolate soy milk- 30 calories/skip the soy if you want and you could use just more coffee as liquid.
I add my supplements I take of creatine, glutamine and Benefiber to this drink too.
190 Calories, 19g of protein, 16g sugar & a whole lot of vitamins and caffeine.
Way less calories than Starbucks and I think better$$!

I use a really cool cup I got a Starbucks that is insulated for hot/cold. I just ♥ it. This drink lasts me hours and I love this treat- almost everyday... I also make a mean blended OJ yogurt protein drink too that I blend up every morning. I don't like to eat yogurt so I have found a way to drink it. :)
What ever works-just eat your yogurt!
