Raspberry Bliss!
Yes, it’s time for another Starbucks swappuccino, courtesy of your pal HG. She and her trusty blender are working overtime this summer, and the latest creation to come out of the HG kitchen is a rockin’ Raspberry Mocha Frappuccino swap. Even if you don’t like raspberry (or coffee!), we think you’ll dig this one. Try it and let us know what you think…

Ingredients:
4 oz. Almond Breeze, Unsweetened Chocolate
2 oz. Torani Sugar Free Raspberry Syrup
1 1/2 tsp. instant coffee
1 tsp. Fat Free French Vanilla Coffee-mate powder
1 tsp. unsweetened coc oa
3 packets Splenda
1 1/2 cups crushed ice OR 8-10 ice cubes
2 tbsp. Fat Free Reddi-wip (a one-serving squirt)

Directions:
Place coffee, cocoa, Splenda and Coffee-mate in a glass. Add 1 oz. hot water to glass, and stir to dissolve ingredients. Next add Almond Breeze and Torani syrup and stir briefly. Now place contents of glass in a blender. Add ice and blend on high speed until well blended. Pour into a tall glass, and finish off with whipped cream. Enjoy!
