Healthy Starbucks-style Frappuccino

HEALTHY STARBUCKS-STYLE FRAPPUCCINO

Ingredients:

• 2/3 cup chilled brewed coffee (you can also choose decaffeinated)
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cashew milk
• 1/3 cup regular canned coconut milk (ensure it contains no added sugar)
• 1 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder
• 2 tbsp Lakanto monk fruit sweetener (available at health food stores or Costco)
• 1 1/2 cups ice, up to 2 cups for a frothier frappuccino
• 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder 

Topping:

• 1/4 cup (or more depending on how indulgent you feel) unsweetened whipped coconut cream (sold in the frozen section at Avril)
• 1 tbsp melted 80% dark chocolate
• Optional, if your inner child says so: 1 tbsp M&Ms

 Instructions:

1. Brew the coffee at least 1 hour before preparing the frappuccino.
2. Keep the brewed coffee in the refrigerator to cool.
3. In a blender, add the chilled coffee, unsweetened cashew milk, coconut milk, cocoa powder, monk fruit, ice cubes, and vanilla protein powder.
4. Blend on high speed until smooth. You can add more ice if you would like your coffee to be frothier.
5. Serve immediately like a grande frappuccino (2 1/2 cup drink), topped with unsweetened whipped coconut cream, a drizzle of melted dark chocolate, and M&Ms to taste.
