[Recipes] High Protein Mocha Frapp
Although eating clean has its benefits, every once in a while I get reminiscent for the old days when I would consume anything that tasted good. Well, with a little creativity you can enjoy many of the treats you used to have, except in a much healthier version.
For me, one of things I would crave every so often would be one of those chocolate mocha Frappuccinos from Starbucks. Fortunately, it wasn’t too difficult to make a delicious alternative that’s packed with protein, low in fat, and delicious…did I mention it’s delicious? Try it out yourself!
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Servings: 1
Ingredients:
- 3 oz espresso or concentrated coffee*
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 60 g greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp unsweetened dark cocoa powder
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup ice
- 3 packets stevia
*I make this using my Aeropress coffee maker. As an alternative you can make an 8 oz cup of coffee and put the coffee in an ice cube tray, freeze, and then make the recipe without regular ice. Additionally, you can use instant coffee although I don’t think it comes out as well that way.
Optional Ingredients:
1) Put all the ingredients in a blender and blend until it reaches desired consistency.
