I love blended coffee drinks -- like Star Bucks Frappacino -- but they are so expensive. Does anyone have any easy recipes for this kind of drink?

Thanks in advance!

3 tablespoons sugar (or Splenda)
1 cup 2 percent milk
2 cups ice
2 small scoops vanilla ice cream

Blend until ice is completley crushed. Enjoy! Makes 1 Large serving!

I have also use this using chocolate icecream.

You can also use the above recipe and then add different flavored coffee creamer. But this is the basic recipe that I always use.

Mine is very similar but instead of the ice cream and ice cubes I use ice cubes make from coffee so it doesn't get watered down. Blend together .. sometimes I add 1/2 tsp of vanilla or a couple of drops of peppermint extract and yummo.

(I bet the ice cream one tastes better but I was trying to go with a 'light' version.)

This is a weight watchers friendly recipe but it is soooo good. You can change it up by using regular milk in place of soy, and I used Ovaltine for malt powder
