Gut-Healing Frappuccino Freezies (Coffee-Free Option too!)

Starbucks Frappuccino’s used to be my go-to Summer drink a long time ago. I stopped drinking them as they are full of sugar, dairy and other not-so-healthy ingredients.  I am not a big coffee drinker as it is quite acidic and I like to keep my body as alkaline as I can. That being said, sometimes I crave the taste (or is it the energy?) and like to have it as a treat here and there.

These cold-brew Frappuccino freezies are not only delicious but also great for healing the gut! They are so easy to make, perfect for grab-and-go and mos importantly, won’t spike your blood sugar like Starbucks drinks, is less acidic than regular coffee and contains collagen!

Ingredients

• 2 cups full fat coconut milk (it makes it very creamy and less icy)
• 5 medjool dates (makes it taste like caramel)
• 3 heaping scoops Ancient Nutrition KETO Cold Brew Collagen (you can use the KETO Cocoa instead if you want it coffee-free) – Use code MARLASHEALTHYLIFE20
• pinch of sea salt
• 4 tbs red cocoa powder (optional) if you want a chocolate frappuccino
• Amazon freezie bags

Directions:

1. Blend all ingredients on high until creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust ingredients to your liking.
2. Pour mixture into BPA-free, sealable freezie bags using a funnel and freeze overnight.
3. let thaw for 5-10 minutes on the counter when you’re ready to eat it and slightly crush it with your hands before opening and enjoying!
4. HAVE A HAPPY SUMMER!
