I am addicted to Iced Coffee! I really am. I not only drink it in the heat of the summer, I also love it on the coldest of winter days as well. My favorite is Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino, but lately I haven't been able to have one as often as I like because I started doing Weight Watchers right after Thanksgiving. I was trying to get a jump on the holiday pounds I usually put on. I'm just about 10 pounds from my goal weight and I am thrilled about that, but using up 6 of my daily points for a Frappuccino is just too hard to do every day. So I started experimenting with making my own. And I created a Creamy Mocha Iced Coffee that only uses 2 Weight Watchers Points for a 16 oz glass (not including the ice). It does not taste like Starbucks (no one compares to Starbucks) but it works as a great substitute to satisfy my daily cravings. I do have the real thing once a week as my special treat.
Here is how to make your own Creamy Mocha Iced Coffee for just 2 Weight Watchers Points:
Blend together:
- 1 cup of Unsweetened Blue Diamond Almond Milk [2 WW Points]
- 1 Cup of cooled strong-brewed Starbucks coffee (I brew up a small pot then keep it in the fridge) [0 WW Points]
- Splenda (to taste, I use 3 packets) [0 WW Points]
- 2 Tablespoons of Hershey's Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup [0 WW Points]
Pour in a tall glass filled with ice and Enjoy -for only 2 WW Points!
Oooh, thanks for your take on this drink. I am definitely going to try it out!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheryl, I hope you enjoy it and please feel free to share any tweaks you do to the recipe to make it even better :-)
DeleteSounds delicious! I tend to drink iced coffees more in the summer, but will file this away and give it a try.

Thank you Karen. I find I drink mine way to fast in the summer because it is so warm but in the winter I can slow down and enjoy the taste.
DeleteThanks so much for stopping by!
