After coming back from Vegas I find myself strangely addicted to Starbucks.
Now that I can read the menu (sort of) I really love it.
Starbucks appear to be everywhere and whilst it’s always quite a cool and trendy place to be, I am under no illusion that it is an unhealthy addiction.
No self-respecting fitness professional should admit to such a weakness and not with my drink of choice.
However, the occasional cup of coffee once in a while is not such a bad thing. That being said my choice The Venti Mocha Frappuccino (500 calories, 82g sugar, 17g fat!) is not very healthy!
Fortunately, the purpose of the blog post was to provide the readers with a healthier alternative to this satisfying, tasty coffee-flavoured icy treat.
But first be warned…
Unless you are ordering a regular coffee Starbucks can be a minefield of unhealthy food and drink.
Most of the foods and drinks are calorie dense and will cause fluctuations in blood sugar (which leads to fat storage). Fortunately, I have created a nourishing alternative.
The Vanilla Cinnamon Mocha Smoothie (awesome name, I know)
And, its only about 150cals and contains a good portion of protein.
1 serving of protein powder (Pro Amino order at www.mt-order.com (advisor no. 101-268)
1 heaped tsp of instant coffee
½ tsp of cinnamon
250 ml of rice milk
150ml of crushed ice
Blend (in a blender?!?) and enjoy.
You’ll never miss a frappuccino again!
