Homemade Skinny Frappucino (Dairy Free)

I love frappucinos, especially when it's hot outside, and I decided to make my own dairy free version at home. I chose to do this because I have lots of unsweetened almond milk which needed using up. After a bit of trial and error, I've got the recipe pretty much as I want it, and I thought I'd share it here.

Ingredients:

4 Large Ice Cubes

1/2 Teaspoon Instant Espresso (I used Nescafe)

1 Mug Boiling Water

200ml Unsweetened Almond Milk

1/2 Teaspoon Truvia

1 Teaspoon Vanilla Coffee Syrup (I used Monin, not sugar free)

Method:

First, prep the chilled coffee. Add the 1/2 teaspoon of espresso to a small mug of boiling water and chill in the fridge.

Put the ice cubes into a jug blender, followed by the chilled coffee and the unsweetened almond milk. Next, add 1/2 a teaspoon of truvia and a teaspoon of the coffee syrup (I used vanilla, but other flavours work just as well).

Blend for about a minute, then serve. If you want to, top with whipped cream and sauce,

This has about 45 cals per serving versus 95 in a Costa or Starbucks skinny frappucino.
