Happy Happy Soy Joy! – Frozen Fun

I discovered something totally awesome! It’s Summer and I love sweet treats to help cool me off. I really enjoy Starbucks Light Frapp’s in any flavor. One of my favorites is Mocha Coconut. I subscribe to Hungry Girl’s daily emails and she has awesome recipes that you can swap for healthier options. Would you like to go for the Mocha Frappé at Burger King or a lighter, healthier option? I chose the latter! Check the deets below on the Frappy that makes me happy!

HG’s Mocha-Happy Frappé

Ingredients:
1 packet hot cocoa mix with 20 – 25 calories (like Swiss Miss Diet or Nestlé Fat Free)

1 tsp. mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tsp. instant coffee granules
1/2 cup light vanilla soymilk
1 1/2 cups crushed ice or 8 – 12 ice cubes
1/4 cup Fat Free Reddi-wip
2 tsp. light chocolate syrup

Directions:
In a large glass, combine cocoa mix, powdered creamer, sweetener, chocolate chips, and coffee granules. Add 1/4 cup very hot water, and stir until mostly dissolved.

Transfer mixture to a blender. Add soymilk and ice, and blend at high speed until smooth.

Pour into the large glass, and top with Reddi-wip and chocolate syrup. Enjoy!

Since Mocha Coconut is my absolute fave, I had to try it! All I did was add 1 tsp (or more to your taste) of coconut extract and add coconut shavings to the finished product. I also opted for liquid creamer (fat free), because that’s what I had in my fridge — 2 tbsp. In addition, I used 2 cups of ice to make it really icy! Yummy to my tummy! Oh, did I mention how delicious the light vanilla soy milk was? Never thought I’d like it so much. This frapp is one of the best things I’ve tasted and I hope you give it a try. If you do, let me know how you like it!

Have a fantastic weekend!!!
