Good afternoon everybody. This is the second week of my first job as a dietitian and our fall marathon training. We did a track workout this morning at 6:30, and I had to be to work by 8:00 so I was a little rushed doing the morning routine and left the house without my coffee. When I got home from work today, I was a little exhausted and in need of a pick me up.
I would say that I’m kind of a coffee snob in that I will not drink rewarmed joe, so I decided to pull out the blender and make use of the coffee I wasted earlier. With chocolate as a favorite of mine, I recreated the mocha frap–it’s deliciously healthy and a great way to get some calcium too. Enjoy, it’s refreshing!
Ingredients:
1/3 cup soy milk (I use Silk, DHA added)
1/4 cup coffee, chilled or room temp
1 tbsp Hershey’s chocolate syrup + calcium
1 tbsp turbinado sugar
1 tsp instant coffee
1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups ice, divided
Recipe: Place all ingredients excluding ice into the blender, and blend until sugar has dissolved. Add 1 cup ice and blend. Slowly add the second cup of ice (you might not need it all!), and blend until smooth.
