Coffee Frappé (Phases 2 & 3)

2 servings

Description
Like the familiar coffee-shop favorite, our frappé is made with extra-strong coffee (brewing 2 tablespoons of ground coffee for every cup of water). This recipe, which makes two "grande" drinks, is sure to become an all-time favorite.

Ingredients
1 cup crushed ice
3/4 cup very strong coffee, chilled
1/2 cup fat-free milk
2 tablespoons granular sugar substitute
1 tablespoon South Beach Diet–approved chocolate syrup
2 tablespoons South Beach Diet–approved whipped topping

Instructions
Add ice, coffee, milk, sugar substitute, and syrup to a blender. Blend on high speed until mixture is smooth and ice is incorporated. Pour into tall glasses and garnish with whipped topping. Serve immediately.

I've been doing something like this every day! I whip it up in the magic bullet, no choc syrup though.

I'm hooked on them. In fact our starbucks finally opened and I've not been because I love my own "iced blended" drinks so much!

I use decaf crystals, either skim milk or soy milk, ice cubes and SF syrup. It feels like a very non-kid treat, I think that's why I like them so.

I think I'll go make one now.

I freeze leftover morning coffee in ice cube trays.

Thanks for the great idea, Cathy! I will definitely be trying this out. Our Starbucks just opened up not far from my house. Looks like they won't be getting as much of my business as I first thought!
