What a waste of 330 calories.

not to mention its the most complicated drink to make.

dont cave in to social pressure by buying this drink O_o

Yeah, I don’t doubt it. The barista was mixing like a bajillion things into it. But I saw it was new on the menu and was curious. She explained it was like a mocha frapp (which I tried once and it wasn’t horrible, with java chips, chocolate whipped cream, and oreo crumbles). It SOUNDED pretty okay. In my head I thought it would be like a java chip frapp with extra mochaness and oreo goodness on top. NOPE. Personally, I hated the chocolate whipped creme. It tastes so fake. And just >.< The frapp would have been a bajillion times better with the regular whipped cream. Andddd it tasted more sugary/chocolatey than it did mocha-java-chippy. And I didn’t like that either. I prefer my frapps more coffee tasting. And this was definitely not my cup of tea. Oh well. At least I know I won’t be curious for it anymore. My usual is french vanilla coffee frapp with half less syrup sweetener. 

Now I have a weird aftertaste. Bleh. I’m going to run this off later today.

People have been asking for a cookies and cream frappe for ages, and this derivative did not deliver. Even the chocolate whipped cream is nasty. Nothing about it is pleasant.

Don’t they already have a cookies & creme frap? It might be on the secret menu or something, but the Starbucks where I work has them as samples a lot, and once I had them make me a larger version. 

It’s incredibly unhealthy (made with Half & Half) so I suggest subbing skim or soy milk. 

Thank you. 

These past two months have been a struggle but I’m finally back on track and seeing the notifications that my picture was reblogged, months later, was a great motivator. 

Thanks for reminding me of how far I’ve come. <3

Frappuccino Happy Hour at Starbucks seemed like a great deal, right? Unless, like me, you are dieting. For the last 10 days I continued to spend over $4 on my venti skinny latte while the HALF-OFF FRAPPUCHINOS sign stared me in the face. I did not give in, though, and took matters into my own hands.

I present to you, the DIET-FRIENDLY MOCHA COCONUT FRAPPUCCINO!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup skim milk

1 packet Starbucks Via (or other instant coffee)

2 packets Truvia or your favorite zero-calorie sweetner

1 tbsp cocoa powder

1 tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes

5-10 ice cubes, depending on desired thickness

Combine above ingredients into blender, blend until smooth. Makes a 16oz (Grande) frozen beverage.

Top with Reddi Wip fat-free whipped cream, drizzle with chocolate syrup, sprinkle with coconut flakes.

And I died a little inside.

I CANNOT SEE ME RUNNING 20 MINUTES NON STOP.

How will I even do this

I’ve done the C25K program twice through (two summers in a row, where I neglected to run in the winter) and I promise you, it is possible. 

I actually remember my very first 20 minute run, in the summer of 2010. I was terrified - I had never run so long in my life. But it was so amazing. It was the first time I ever got a runner’s high from the endorphins. 

You will love it. I promise.
