Starbucks Bottled Mocha Coconut Frappuccino Coffee Drink Made Skinny
I’m a little obsessed with this refreshing coffee drink. Partly because I’m a huge fan of the combination of chocolate and coconut. And adding coffee makes it even better. Although you can serve chilled or over ice, I like to add ice cubes to a blender and create a yummy blended drink.

Shopping Tips
Swiss Miss Light or Diet Hot Cocoa Mixes are sold in a box that includes 8 pkgs. Each package has only 25 calories. Most larger supermarkets sell them in the hot cocoa aisle. Also available at Target and on Amazon. Use your favorite unsweetened, non-dairy milk such as almond or coconut. I love Blue Diamond Almond Breeze-unsweetened vanilla almond coconut. I bought mine at Target and Vons/Safeway in the refrigerator milk section. Prep Tips
I made the coffee in my Keurig Machine. I set it for an 8-ounce cup. It makes a much stronger cup. Or brew your coffee extra strong. Regular or decaf coffee works great. I like to make mine with a flavored coffee such as coconut or vanilla coffee. Or, use your favorite. Regular ice works great, but you can freeze your own coffee cubes for a double dose of caffeine. To make coffee cubes, fill an ice cube tray with chilled coffee, and leave it in your freezer overnight. Use 1 cup coffee cubes to replace ice cubes
