Homemade Frappuccino

When was the last time you had one of Starbuck's cool, creamy and oh-so-refreshing frappuccinos? If you've been on this diet any amount of time, then obviously, it's been quite a while. I can't even remember the last time I had one. Even when I could have one, the price kept them to a minimum. So what's a gal to do? Make an MSPI-friendly version!

This recipe is the basic ingredients. You easily can adapt it with different mix-ins and flavorings. The one pictured below has MSPI-friendly chocolate syrup added. You can make it caf or decaf, depending on whether you need a little extra pick-me-up in the middle of the day. The combinations are endless!
