starbucks drink recipe by christina turley

Ok my recipe is for a drink...How to make a Starbucks frappuccino at home (because I'm a Starbucks addict and if I could afford it would probably buy one everyday)...Cost per drink is under 50 cents if you make it at home and average $5.00 if you buy it. - Java Chip - Ingredients - 1 Cup Milk, 1/2 TBSP Cocoa Powder, 1 Packet Instant Coffee, 2 TBSP Chocolate Syrup, 2 Blocks Hersheys Dark Chocolate from Giant Bar. (or Chocolate chips/ Dark Chocolate etc), 1/8 tsp Xanthan Gum, 1 Cup Ice. 1) In a blender combine milk, cocoa powder, instant coffee and xanthan gum...blend for a 30 seconds or so until everything is mixed (no more instant coffee bits). Then add Chocolate chips/Chocolate Bar Pieces and blend another 30 seconds to break up. 2)Add ice, and pulse the blender (by pulsing instead of just holding the smoothie/ice button, your ice will break up better)3) Drizzle Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup on the cup, on top, however you like...Add whipped cream.","type":22}'>LikeUnlike · · Follow PostUnfollow Post · 59 minutes agoChristina Turley I also have Caramel on here to - http://adventuresincookinglite.blogspot.com/2012/03/starbucks-frappuccino-copycats.htmlLow Calorie Foods adventuresincookinglite.blogspot.comExperimental cooking with low calorie recipes while on a journey to lose 100lbs.59 minutes ago · "}'>LikeUnlike · Christina Turley The Xanthan Gum is what gives it the good thick texture, otherwise the drink is somewhat watery. For me it was worth buying because it also helps when making milk shakes etc in the blender. :)57 minutes ago · "}'>LikeUnlike
