Skinny Coffee Frappuccino
I had randomly thought last night that since my coffee drink is already mixed and flavored, if i just added ice to it in a blender, i could make a frappuccino. It for the most part worked.
This is the coffee drink i used: http://mendsexperiences.blogspot.com/2013/05/genesis-today-skinny-coffee-vanilla.html
Taste wise, it was good. pretty much was just the drink with ice in it lol. I used my ninja rather than using a blender, so it had biggish ice pieces. Small enough to drink with a straw(not the small kind), but wasn't super smooth like you'd get by using a blender.
I did about a cups worth of the drink, and maybe 2 cups of ice. Here's the picture before i ran it.
With those amounts, it pretty much made two of them. Next time i will either try less ice or less ice and less drink. The processing also fluffed up the coffee drink to where the while thing became full of the drink.
i had to take alittle out just to be able to grab the blades to take out easier lol.
I will also try another idea i had for a frappuccino that i saw on pinterest(i think that's where i saw it) once i get a ice cube tray.
Lastly i wanted to share my deal i figured out on the skinny coffee.
I went to go get more of the little ones i bought before because that is what i was pretty sure i only saw. Once i was at walmart and about to go grab some, i saw these large ones. Checking them out, these large ones were a better deal. You lose the easy on the go the little ones give you, but i don't need them on the go really, and i have to go cups at home i could use.
Anyways. The little ones are like around 11 ounces and cost over $3 each. These large ones are about 33 ounces and cost under $6. So you get close to 3 times the amount for under double the cost the little ones. talk about a deal!
Even the cashier was pleasantly surprised on the deal of the large ones. I don't think she's tried the drinks before but she did notice the price and size of them. I had also a different flavor of one of the little ones so she saw the difference that way.
