Sometimes, it’s just one of those days, when coffee is a necessity, but a hot steaming cup just doesn’t work…

Enterice coffee! At Starbucks, they’ve known this for a long time, but who knows what kinds of stuff they put it in.

This afternoon, I had such a craving for a frappucino, I just made one myself. I have a Starbucks within reach at the airport, but these days, going to the airport for a quick coffee just isn’t a good idea.

And let’s be honest, making it yourself is not that much trouble and equally good, if not better!

There are about a thousand different versions, but I worked with the ingredients I had around the house!

So here’s my recipe for a – not extremely healthy but still healthier than the Starbucks version – ice coffee frappucino… thingy!

*Homemade frappucino à la KellyJade*

Ingredients:

2 espresso’s (ca. 80 ml) or other strong coffee
80 ml (or 100 ml if you like it less strong) alpro almond – coconut milk
a teaspoon of honey
a tablespoon of bitter chocolate drops or chocolate syrup
2 to 3 ice cubes, depending on the size
whipped cream and chocolate syrup or drops for the finishing touch

Instructions

Add all the ingredients (apart from the whipped cream) to the container of a blender and blend away!
Make sure your blender is suitable for crushing ice or you might ruin the blades!
Let it blend untilt the ice cubes are fully crushed.
Pour it into a large glass.
Finish it off with a big dollop of whipped cream and decorate with chocolate syrup or chocolate drops (or both 😉 ).
Enjoy!
