This summer I can't seem to stay away from those delicious frozen beverages. I usually get a mocha light frappuccino from Starbuck's which isn't too bad as far as calories go, but sometimes i go to my local coffee shop and get a frozen mocha with soy milk...and I know that stuff isn't reduced in calories. It wouldn't be so bad if I had one once or twice a week, but I seem to be getting one every day. Something about the frozen coffee goodness hits the spot on these hot summer days. I also just got prescribed adderall for ADD, so I'm substituting these for my daily morning coffee since they don't have very much caffeine. On the adderall caffeine is a little too much and makes me too hyper, which completely defeats the purpose of taking my meds. I'm trying to lose a little bit of weight and I know that this daily indulgence doesn't help. I'd rather make a frozen drink at home that's more cost-efficient as well as more nutritious. Anyone have any good recipes for maybe a protein drink or just something that is healthier that i can make at home? I'm not big into fruit smoothies.... I hate fruit for some reason. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. My waistline and wallet will thank you!
