When I saw a more healthy take on a “Starhell” iced coffee concoction, an Iced Frappe Mocha, I couldn’t resist. My friends, family and coworkers know that when it comes to coffee, I like mine iced, preferably, and can’t make a decent cup to save my life. I rarely order the frozen confections at Starhell, preferring an iced coffee, but my bank will testify to my adoration of that place. When I do have days where I’m on the warpath, I reach for a mocha and add a touch of cinnamon. I love the warmth of the cinnamon mixed with the chocolate and this iced cinnamon mocha frappe was perfect for a crazed morning where I needed 5 minutes of “me” time. I changed it a bit with using instant espresso, which I always keep in the pantry for chocolate recipes, used reduced fat milk and added a bit more ice. This was so simple to whip up in the Vitamix – just make sure that your blender can handle some serious ice crushing action. I have to say – I really enjoyed this recipe and will be making it again – perhaps with a hint of Cruzan or Tequila for those evenings when a bit of spirit is warranted.
