Healthier Copycat Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino


Who's a fool for Starbucks Frappuccinos? I used to be, until I read the nutritional info out of curiosity. I bet you didn't realize that the average size carries anywhere between 300-400 per serving! Well, I had no clue either. I decided to create my own version at home to cut myself the calories and keep my wallet full.
