Healthy Mocha Frappuccino

MogoBlog MogoLicious Tasty Tip of the Day: What many don’t realize is that Starbucks’s Frappuccinos are actually just glorified milkshakes (calories and all), but it doesn’t have to be that way. If you go easy on the sugar and instead load your frozen coffee with cocoa power, vanilla extract, chocolate stevia, and some half and half, you can get the same iconic mocha taste for half the calories. The recipe developer at The Lemon Bowl maintains that while a mocha frap from Starbucks yields around 290 calories, her drink will only come to 72.
