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.

I think what caught my attention to try this was seeing the word "skinny". I like trying all sort of new things(even if it scares me lol) and i like seeing what healthy items actually taste good. It being a coffee drink also caught my attention. I sometimes get a little picky on coffee drinks because i don't like it too strong.

Looking at the package, just look at all that stuff that makes it look so healthy. "50% fewer calories", "skinny", "supports: energy, Healthy weight" "green coffee beverage".
Here's a page about green coffee if you aren't sure on what it is. [Link]

For taste, i find that this taste very close to this drink

Probably not exactly, but it's been awhile since i've had a java monster. But i always liked Mean Bean the best, so since it tastes close to that, i really like this skinny coffee drink. There was another flavor that i'll have to try.

here's the section of the container that gives info on it. sorry if a little hard to read in the picture.


I plan on buying more of these for my coffee for the summer. It's refreshing and does seem to give me a perk, unlike normal coffee, so will be good for hot mornings.
