Low Fat, Low Cal, Dairy Free Mocha Frappe


Sure. It might not sound so appealing at first because how can anything so good for you really taste that good? Well, it's possible. I was just messing around the other day, and was trying to create my favorite frozen beverage dairy-free for lactose intolerant me.


You will need:
- 1 cup of ice
- 1/2 cup of coffee
- 1/2 cup of chocolate coconut milk
- 1 pkg. Truvia or Stevia

In a blender mix all ingredients until desired consistency. Taste test (as I had to do this to make sure I got the desired bitterness of the coffee or sweetness of the Truvia) to personal taste.
Pour and enjoy!

Snowshoeing in a blizzard...


I love snowshoeing, and this was my first outing of the season (of course I would choose to go in the middle of a blizzard)
