Did you know a “simple” ice blended coffee drink from a coffee bar without any added sugar or whipped cream has approximately 15 teaspoons of sugar!
Here is an alternative Iced Hazelnut Frappuccino recipe that is not only packed with real ingredients and little sweetener, but also delicious, non acidic and non caffeinated.
My desire to create this was out of a need. I saw a lot of my kids’ friends running to the local StarBucks to get their fix.
If you read the ingredients (if you could locate them) of the powders they throw into the blended drinks at coffee bars, you wouldn’t touch them with a ten foot pole. With this herbal drink as your base, you can choose your low glycemic sweeter and the kind of dairy or non-dairy milk you desire.
At your local coffee house, if you were to order a “simple” frappuccino without any added sugar or whipped cream, you’d get 14.75 teaspoons of sugar in your “simple” drink.
Check out this video to see what the kids thought about the coffee drink:
My kids fight over this drink. It is a huge hit when friends come over. They can’t get enough of this. Hope you get a chance to make it and share with me how you liked yours.
