Protein Mocha Frappuccino


Perfect for when you're craving Starbucks on a hot sunny day! 


Frappuccino 

1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder
1 tsp. instant espresso (coffee grounds)
1/2 C. unsweetened chocolate or vanilla almond milk
1 tsp. unsweetened baking cocoa 
1/2 C. ice 
1-2 Tbsp. home made chocolate fudge sauce 
(optional though it's not very sweet without it) 

Blend everything together and top with whip cream or other toppings! :) 

3 Ingredient Chocolate Fudge Sauce 

1/3 C. pitted dates 
1/3 C. almond milk
1 1/2 tbsp. cocoa powder 

Blend dates and almond milk until smooth. All the chunks don't have to be perfectly mixed. Pour into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, continue to cook whilst stirring over a low flame for 5-10 minutes, until thickened. Remove from heat, stir in cocoa powder until melted and incorporated. Transfer to a glass jar. Cool, serve warm or refrigerate and eat cold, or re-warm. It tastes so good! And is perfect for milkshakes or frappuccinos!
