The other day, I passed by Starbucks and I decided to treat myself to a nonfat decaf Mocha Coconut Frappuccino. \u00a0I had never had one before, but it sounded really yummy, and I was looking forward to it the whole ride home. \u00a0I\u2019m on a bit of a coconut kick lately, and with this heat, a coconut-flavored iced coffee sounded pretty good! \u00a0Unfortunately, things didn\u2019t go so well for my and my drink\u2026<\/p>\n

As a mom of two adorable little girls, I\u2019m really used to multi-tasking. \u00a0I think nothing of carrying one nena, holding onto the other one\u2019s hand, carrying grocery bags, shoes, books, purses and other miscellaneous items all at once. On this particular day, however, adding a cold drink in one hand while juggling all of the above seems to have tipped the balance. Before I knew it, the frappuccino went flying through the air and both my nenas and I stared in horror as the iced coffee landed on the ground.<\/p>\n

I was pretty mad.<\/p>\n

So, I did what anyone would do. I took a deep breath, smiled, and went inside and made my own homemade version.<\/p>\n

Cool and refreshing, these frapp\u00e9s combine coconut milk, instant coffee, and chocolate syrup for an easy, super-quick iced coffee base that you can serve at anytime just by adding ice.<\/p>\n

Just watch out for flying frapp\u00e9s\u2026<\/p>\n
