Skinny Copycat Starbucks Strawberry Frappuccino




It's  "skinny" because I left out the ice cream and subbed Strawberry Greek Yogurt. 

 Saw the recipe on Simplee Thrifty and adapted it. I did a search on the web to see if anyone had made it with Greek Yogurt and didn't see a recipe. The yogurt was my idea and if this recipe was made before the day I posted please  send me your link so I can source it.

 It was delicious!

 Ingredients:

 1/2 cup Almond Milk ( recipe used regular milk)
1 5.3 ounces container Strawberry Greek Yogurt
1 cup ice
2-4 strawberries -depending on size.
Directions:

 Add all of the above ingredients to the  blender and blend until ice is crushed.

 Give it a good stir to make sure there aren't large chunks of ice. If there are, blend again.

 Pour into glass and if you want, add some whipped cream.

 I treated myself to cold tea in Starbucks and saved the glass. You never know when you might need it for a photo shoot!

    Wow Linda, you continue to amaze me with your adapting your recipes to make them skinny. You sure had me fooled when I saw the Starbucks cup. What a great idea.

    Definitely something I will be making though with regular 1% milk. Always have the ingredients on hand as I have frozen berries. Likely fresh would be better but frozen will do in a pinch! Thanks, Linda!

      That's what I liked about making it this way. Plus you don't have to spend a bundle of money for one drink and you know what is in it!

      I made this when we were in Florida and it sure tasted good.

      We had to start the wood stove the other day, it was in the low 50's. No warm weather on the east end of the Island yet.

      Stay cool and thanks for the pin.
