I’m a Frappuccino kind of girl. The weather in southern California makes it easy to want cold drinks twenty four-seven. Thanks to Born Sweet™ Zing™ Zero Calorie Stevia Sweetener, I’m able to recreate some fraps at home. Zing™ is made with only real ingredients — nothing artificial, and zero calories, so you don’t have to feel guilty about consuming it. A little goes a long way! In fact, 1 packet equals the sweetness in 2 teaspoons of sugar. I only had to use one packet to get my drink to the level of sweetness that I like, and I like my drinks pretty sweet. The powder inside is very fine and white so it dissolves quickly.  These packets are great to carry around with you since they come in individual pieces. Leave some in your purse or your car! I carry them around in my lunch bag for work. You can add them to your oatmeal in the morning, sweeten your coffee, or sprinkle onto some fresh fruit. Pour Zing™ Zero Calorie Stevia Sweetener into your teas, smoothies, and lemonades. I was surprised at how easy it was to make blended coffee drinks at home. All you need is a good shot of espresso! If you can’t make that at home, you can sub it for a cup of strongly brewed coffee and add some more ice to the blender. I threw in a handful of dark chocolate espresso beans for a little crunch, but you can omit those if you’d like. You can also use dark chocolate chips instead if you have those sitting in your pantry.   I used the banana to add a smoother texture to the drink, but you could still kind of taste it. I’m still brainstorming other ingredients to use that don’t have that strong of a taste. Perhaps plain Greek yogurt? Next time, I’ll try taking the banana out and adding more ice in general so the coffee flavor is the only one there. I’m already thinking of all the other drinks that I’ll be creating in my kitchen. Green tea fraps, chai tea lattes, earl grey teas, and even freshly squeezed juices! Sometimes, even the freshest of juices need a little pick me up.
