Here's another 'slap me in the face' drink recipe that I came across at Weekend Potluck linky party. I even featured this one as my personal favorite that same week. The recipe was posted by Peanut Butter & Peppers.
Did you catch that first word? S-K-I-N-N-Y!
Every little bit helps and it's atrocious to think of the calories that some folks just DRINK in.
I want all the help I can get to cut back on calories without sacrificing on taste.
This did a real number on me! I loved it!
Makes for a fun holiday coffee drink with the peppermint 'spin' to it.
(Just in case you can't tell, that's a 'party hat' on the letter "P" of the text below=) Sometimes Pic Monkey is simply too.much.fun!
SKINNY PEPPERMINT MOCHA FRAPPE

In a blender at all your ingredients, process until smooth.
