A yummy healthier Frapp...

I borrowed this picture from the Dashing Dish Blog!

I have a recipe similar to theirs for this healthy version of a Starbucks frapp! 

1.5	Scoops vanilla protein powder ( I like Jarro Whey)
1-4 pkts	Splenda
1 pkt	Starbucks Via Instant Coffee (or 1 cup cold coffee concentrate, Recipe Follows)
2 tbs	Fat Free Half and half coffee creamer
5-10	Ice cubes (depending on desired consistency)
1/2-1 cup	Water (depending on desired consistency)
1/2 tsp	xanthan gum (found at the health food store by the gluten free stuff!) The way I like it: Optional: 2 tbs Cocoa Powder and 1 frozen banana! Yummy Summer Treat! ***Iced Coffee Concentrate. ***  Ingredients- 1 gallon water (I buy a gallon of drinking water) 1 lb bag of your favorite rich coffee (course ground if ya can get it) Coffee filters or several layers of cheesecloth a fine mesh strainer. a large bowl pitcher (big enough to hold a gallon) Directions- Pour gallon of water into your large bowl. Dump the entire bag of coffee into the water/bowl. Stir to make sure all grounds are saturated with water. Walk away, for 12 hours or overnight. line a mesh strainer with a coffee filter or several layers of cheese-cloth, set the strainer on top of your pitcher. Pour (or ladle) your coffee mixture into the strainer. (this part takes awhile...  I often had to walk away while it filtered into the pitcher)   If using coffee filters, you might have to replace them several times during the filtering process. Once all the coffee concentrate has been filtered, stick it in the fridge (it will last for a month!)
