Sugar free frappe

Yes, you did read the title of this post correctly. SUGAR FREE FRAPPE.

These days, when something gets called "sugar free" it
usually means they took out the white sugar and put in some bad artificial sweetener.... but not today!! The recipe I will share with you uses all natural honey. :)

It is now time for a short story.

Where I live, it's now summer time! So ice cold drinks on a hot day sound heavenly. Unfortunately, all I could have was water and tea. A few weeks into summer,  I was at Starbucks ordering my usual unsweetened tea and I realized how much I was craving a sweet, cold, frappe. From that moment on, it was game time. I was going to go home and make myself a darn frappuccino.

And that's what I did! Hope you enjoy!

This recipe makes about 2 servings for a normal person... I however, drank it all.

YOU WILL NEED: 
  • 1 cup coffee (I used decaf but you can use espresso if you want) 
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 3 tbsp all natural honey
  • 2 cups ice
  • 1/4 tsp xanthan gum (do not omit, trust me) 
 DIRECTIONS: Blend everything together and drink it up!






 P.S. Sorry for the bad quality pics! I was in the process of drinking it when I remembered to take pictures!!
