Low Carb Frappuccino

You don't have to compromise your low carb lifestyle by frequenting your favorite high end coffee shop for a cool summer treat. Instead, make your own! This low carb frappuccino will help you chill out at less than 3 grams of carbs per huge 20-24 ounce serving.

Low Carb Frappuccino

1/2 cup water, microwaved for 30 seconds (hot, but not boiling)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon instant coffee (I use Folger's decaf)
1/2 cup heavy cream (lowest carb count!)
1/2 cup cold water
10 ice cubes

Optional: Add a scant 1/3 cup Davinci Sugar-Free Vanilla or Caramel Syrup or a few packets of artificial sweetener. Note that the Davinci syrup doesn't add any carbs like your favorite powdered artificial sweetener may.

Dissolve instant coffee in hot water and pour into blender. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend on high until smooth.

Makes a heaping 20-24 ounce drink.

Enjoy!
